Experience Alaska's Legendary Glaciers
Hubbard Glacier
Watching Hubbard Glacier from the deck of the Coral Princess is something words simply cannot describe. At over six miles wide and towering hundreds of feet above the water, Hubbard Glacier is North America’s largest tidewater glacier. And while we’re there, you’ll want to have your camera’s ready and listen closely. We’re likely to experience glacier calving, which is when the giant chunks of ancient ice crack and crash into the sea. It’s one of Alaska’s most unforgettable natural wonders.
College Fjord
Cruising through College Fjord feels like sailing through a frozen cathedral. More than a dozen glaciers flow from the surrounding mountains, creating breathtaking scenery around every corner. Good thing there’s no limit to how many photos your camera can take because this is one of the most photographed areas in all of Alaska. In addition to your gorgeous surroundings, you’ll also likely see sea otters, harbor seals, bald eagles, puffins and even whales!
