Cruise
Prince William Sound aboard the Spirit of Columbia or the Sprit
of Glacier Bay. Prince William Sound is renown for some of the most
breathtaking scenery and arguably offers Alaska's most spectacular
glacier scenery. Highlights of this cruise include College Fjord,
Columbia Bay, and the ports of Valdez (and Cordova in a 4-night
cruise). The vessels are smaller than the large ships plying Alaska's
waters, and have the ability to cruise in passages where larger
ships are unable to go. The atmosphere on board is friendly and
personal and you have a sense of really being part of the great
coastal vista. With dramatic scenery, glaciers, and wildlife, this
is a cruise you will long remember. |
