Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve Glacier Bay s spectacular scenery and marine wildlife are part of an awesome natural monument to a retreating ice age and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. National Park Service regulations limit entrance to only two cruise ships a day. Our premier access allows us to discover a region that only two centuries ago was covered with 4,000 feet of ice. Earthquakes and a warming world climate have caused the ice to melt and recede allowing this incredible tidewater glacial bay to become accessible. Joined by a National Park Service ranger and a Huna-Tlingit interpreter, passengers experience a day-long tour that is both breathtaking and educational. Surrounded by the bay s ever evolving landscapes, watch in wonder as the ship glides through deep, majestic fjords and past lush forests revealing ice-capped mountains and iceberg-dotted inlets.
