I took the cruise on Mother's Day this year and while the weather was less than ideal we were still able to see some of the glaciers. Surprise, Cascade, Coxe and Barry were all visible. Lots of sea otters, a sea lion and then the kittiwakes. I would take the cruise again!

The Phillips 26 glacier cruise in Whittier is a must do if in Anchorage. A short drive from Anchorage, about 1 hour or south will take you to the Portage Glacier area. The cool thing is getting there. You have to go through a railroad tunnel on your way to Whittier. the cruise was amazing. We saw many Glaciers on... More

It was a great trip. It helped we were blessed with good weather and the captain took full advantage of it. The glaciers are impressive and the wild life abundant. Got a close look at a glacier calving. Saw more otters than I thought existed. Lots of seals and a few whales and walrus too. A pair of porpoise played... More

After quite a bit of study, we decided to do the 26 Glacier Cruise as our first cruise from Whittier, planning to take another if we missed something. This cruise covered everything, so we didn't take another Whittier cruise. Even though it was busy season, we were able to call and get decent tickets for the next day. We were... More

We were tired so the day was perfect as it was so relaxing. The coach collected us from the town and the coach driver... More

Great boat, great crew, most amazing views from anywhere in the world! A bit pricy and the 5hours was just a little long, but definatley worth it! If you ever visit Alaska, this I's a MUST SEE!

Even if you are prone to sea sickness, this boat is so calm I didn't see anyone looking queasy. We went on a rainy day at the end of the tourist season so the ship was only half full. Even so, the deck became full whenever we were near a glacier, but there was lots of time at each spot... More

'Inside Cruise' from Vancouver to Whittier, Alaska on Island Princess. Sept 7 -14 2011. Great accommodation, wonderful food and excellent service. Glacier Bay was an awesome experience which was "the icing on the cake" for the week's cruise. Too much beautiful scenery to describe here. Must take is a camera and comfortable walking shoes if you plan to take some... More
