Climb aboard the Emerald Sea for a memorable cruise to the most spectacular glaciers in Prince William Sound. Your glacier cruise departs daily from Whittier and ventures into calm, protected waters, where seasickness does not occur. As the ship enters Blackstone Bay, you'll see the massive Blackstone and Beloit Glaciers looming in the distance. As we move in closer, the glaciers grow larger, until they tower 1,700 feet over our 100-foot vessel. Rather than sailing from glacier to glacier, we stop at each one, floating among the icebergs, giving you plenty of time to take in Mother Nature's glorious ice sculptures. Listen for them to groan and watch for them to crack and calve off enormous section of ice. In addition to witnessing glacier events like calving and icefalls, you'll also see breathtaking scenery, towering waterfalls and wildlife such as: eagles, harbor seals, otters, and bird rookeries. Your host will be a Chugach Forest Ranger. Salmon and prime rib meal available.
