Day 3
Glacier Bay, United States
What a privilege. At 3.3 million acres - this UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve is massive. In the calm of the night, the ship's crew has taken you deep into Glacier Bay National Park. It's early in the morning - hot coffee and pastries are out in the lounge - and directly off the bow is Margerie Glacier, or Johns Hopkins Glacier, depending on the time of year and ice access. Less than 1% of visitors to the park have the opportunity you are about to have - get on land with, or kayak in front of, a deep blue, mile-wide chunk of ice. The morning is intimate, calm, and inspiring. ... Read More

Day 7
Endicott Arm, United States
Fords Terror, United States
Cruising Dawes Glacier, United States
Skiffing up Endicott Arm, harbor seals laze around on icebergs. If the tides are right, slip into Fords Terror, the steep walls of this narrow opening streaked with waterfalls. Back in the arm, gasp at the deep glacier-carved valleys. It's at the end where you meet the piece de resistance: Dawes Glacier. Blue ice marches down from the Coast Mountains. With a sharp crack, the white thunder of a calving slice makes a mega-splash. Tonight, celebrate with a festive Farewell Dinner and "photo journal" from your expedition team. (BLD) ... Read More
