Seward Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise Shore Excursion
While in Seward, embark on one of Alaska’s most popular wildlife and glacier cruises during a pre- or post-cruise shore excursion through Kenai Fjords National Park. Stay warm as you sail past alpine and tidewater glaciers among the fjords, and heighten your chance of spotting whales, sea lions, and birds with the help of your captain, who puts the sights into context.
Highlights
- ✓See Kenai Fjords National Park from a unique vantage point on the water
- ✓Be on the lookout for migrating humpback, minke and orca whales in their natural habitat
- ✓Keep your eyes peeled for the native marine life that inhabits the area
- ✓Eat lunch on board as you relax and take in the sights
What you'll see & do
- ✓In Kenai Fjords National Park, over half of the landmass is covered by the enormous Harding Icefield, a thousand-foot block of ice that dates back to the last Ice Age. The Harding spills out in all directions in the form of glaciers. Some stretch northwest into rugged hills of the Kenai Peninsula. Others—five of them, to be exact—reach as far as the sea along the craggy coast of the Gulf of Alaska.
- ✓Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge is comprised of 2,400 islands, headlands, rocks, islets, spires and reefs and is known for its abundance of seabirds.
- ✓Navigate through Resurrection Bay as our captain guides you through to Kenai Fjords National Park.
- ✓Watch out for seabirds, waterfalls and hanging glaciers in Thumb Cove
- ✓Visit either one of two spectacular tidewater glaciers, Aialik or Holgate. Aialik Glacier is surrounded by steep cliffs, dense forests and towering mountain peaks. Visitors may see spectacular calving events as ice chunks break and crash into the ocean. Keep an eye for harbor seals.
