What travellers are saying

Glacier Bay was Breathtaking where we enjoyed the incredible views from our cruise ship decks of glaciers of ice that surround the area with mountain peaks rising over 15K feet!

Aside from the all the glaciers (one calving), snow peaked mountains, lush green hills and beautiful seawater we saw a wolf, a grizzly mom and cub, sea otters, sea lions, bald eagles, whales, puffins, mountain goats.

My wife and I I cruised in Glacier Bay NP aboard Holland America ship New Amsterdam and experience fantastic ocean, mountain, wildlife, and glacier scenery-Certailly one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL DAYS OF MY LIFE!

WOW

An amazing scenery. Saw it from our cruise ship. The photos do not do justice to the real thing, one must see it to realize, the beauty of this, amazing wonder of nature. Well worth a visit.

Glaziers galore!

Great shipboard visit.Beautiful setting with snow capped mountains everywhere, and glaciers galore. During our passage through this area everyone on our ship went silent. The area with it's mountains and glaciers has an awe inspiring affect on everyone it seems.Well worth the time and cost....

Unreal!!

Cruising Glacier Bay was by far the highlight of our cruise. Clear skies and amazing views from all over the ship. If you don’t do any excursions and just stay on boat the entire time Glacier Bay makes it all worthwhile. I was concerned not...More

I’m on a cruise ship which will cruise through. Can I sit on my balcony and enjoy the sights or should I fight for a primo spot up on the top deck? And is it cruise in and then cruise out the same way or one way? Thanks

Hi, you should get a good view from your balcony. We went with Holland America, the ship sailed down the inlet. The first glacier you see is John Hopkins which you should see from the port side of the ship. When you arrive... More
