Glacier Bay

Princess is one of a select few cruise lines permitted to cruise the pristine waters of Glacier Bay, the highlight of our 7-day Voyage of the Glaciers cruise. Just west of Juneau, this breathtaking national park and preserve boasts some of the world's most spectacular tidewater glaciers, such as Margerie Glacier, which often drops colossal chunks of ice into the sea. Not surprisingly, Glacier Bay National Park and its epic ice giants are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising Alaska's magnificent park system. During your scenic cruise, friendly Park Rangers will join the ship to share their knowledge of this amazing place and host a fun Junior Ranger program for kids. They may even be able to help you identify Glacier Bay's abundant wildlife, including humpback whales, sea otters, porpoises, harbor seals, black bears, mountain goats, bald eagles and large colonies of seabirds. Take in the awe-inspiring scenery as you enjoy an unforgettable day of sailing through this dazzling park, where you'll glide along emerald waters and past calving icebergs, and can breathe in the crisp, fresh air to your heart's content. The day was pleasant and it did not rain. The captain did a masterful job of turning the ship so we could all enjoy the views. I did take a few pictures in the hopes of using them for inspiration for a painting some day in the future.

In the evening we had a lovely dinner and then we took in the show at the theatre, The singer was Sonya Selbie. We had not heard her before and she did some old favorites and some we had not heard .

We called it a night and tomorrow we will be at Icy Strait Point and we have an excursion.
