The captain and crew provide insights into the area's geology and fauna, so there's no need for prior research. Your journey takes you through Resurrection Bay into the heart of the park. Witness the rare sights of either Holgate Glacier or Aialik Glacier, observing the dramatic calving of ice into the ocean. The cruise may visit Chiswell Islands or Cape Resurrection, based on weather conditions, offering views of thousands of nesting seabirds. Binoculars are available to enhance your bird-watching experience.
