About Whittier Glacier Cruises
A glacier cruise from Whittier is the classic Alaska day: tidewater ice, a wildlife cast that works the whole route, and a heated cabin when the deck wins.
Season runs May–September. The glacier-facing decks are cold even in July — bring the layer you think is too much.

"Fantastic day on the water viewing wildlife and glaciers! Staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this cruise and company!"
"Rebecca the driver was excellent. Super amiable, professional, knowledgeable of Alaska, great customer service. Bus was ok. Boat tour was pretty good."
"First of all, thank you very much for the driver waiting for us. Our cruise ship had been somewhat delayed. We wouldn't have wanted to miss this activity. The bus tour to Whittier is beautiful in itself, and the Prince William Sound Glacier Cruise gets a perfect score from us."
"Great experience!!! We saw sea lions, bold eagles, the glaciers were amazing!!! The Captain and his crew really help us to understand and follow every encounter through the trip."
"It was amazing! The whole tour was well coordinate with amazing professional and we learn so much! Tky"
"Everything's good. The itinerary is really well planned. Efficient service. The boat we used was safe and comfy"
"The cruise is awesome. The pick-up service was discreet. It doesn't match what's advertised. There was no one with the company sign. A lot of confusion since there were other companies at the same time. In the end, I saw the person in charge because he was wearing a sweater with the company logo. They should pay more attention to this detail."
