4 night itinerary: ( 3 night excludes Cordova)
Day 1 Meet in Anchorage and coach transfer to Whittier for your four-night Prince William Sound Glaciers cruise, on the Spirit of Columbia.
SAIL FROM WHITTIER
In Anchorage board a Cruise West motorcoach to travel to Whittier along beautiful Turnagain Arm. Keep watch for the sure-footed Dall sheep that nibble grass on the steep cliffs overhead. Arrive in Whittier, where the crew welcomes you aboard the Spirit of Columbia. Depart for seldom-visited areas of Prince William Sound, starting with a visit to Blackstone Glacier in Blackstone Bay. The ship will anchor for a quiet overnight stay in a secluded cove. D
Day 2 - COLLEGE FJORD AND ESTHER PASSAGE
Wake up near the face of a glacier in College Fjord. You will ease close to the active faces of numerous glaciers that calve icebergs into the tidal waters below. Continue on to narrow Esther Passage, a waterway only small ships can navigate. Playful sea otters live here, often floating placidly on their backs in a bed of kelp, dining on crabs. Explore the serene Eaglek Bay. BLD
Day 3 - CORDOVA
Make a port call at tiny Cordova. This fishing village, which is inaccessible by highway, has become world famous for its Copper River Salmon. These delicious, oil-rich fish are caught nearby in the pristine delta of the Copper River. Upon your arrival enjoy an included cultural experience highlighting the area rich in Native history. Optional wilderness tours include sea kayaking, hiking, and river rafting. BLD
Day 4 - CHENEGA GLACIER AND KNIGHT ISLAND
Today explore southwest Prince William Sound, where sculpted wilderness islands lie offshore from the craggy mountains of the Kenai Peninsula. Narrow Icy Bay leads toward a stunning glacier experience at the head of the fjord. Later, enjoy gunkholing around the nearby islands - a nautical term for poking around the next corner just to see whats there. BLD
Day 5 - ARRIVE IN WHITTIER
After a cruise past a bustling black-legged kittiwake colony, disembark the Spirit of Columbia at Whittier. Transfer to a motorcoach for your trip via Turnagain Arm back to Anchorage. B.
