We live in a world filled with so much beauty, and today we’re taking you deep into the heart of Alaska’s "Glacier Alley." Join us as we sail with Holland America into the breathtaking College Fjord, a place where the mountains meet the sea and ancient ice tells a story thousands of years in the making. In this video, we experience a rare, perfectly sunny day in the Last Frontier. From the front decks of our ship, we navigate through floating "bergy bits" to reach the crown jewel of the fjord: the massive Harvard Glacier. Stretching over a mile and a half wide, this tidewater glacier is a powerful reminder of the raw scale of nature. In this video, you’ll see: Holland America Excellence: Exploring why this cruise line’s 75-year history in Alaska makes them the experts in these waters. The College Fjord History: Learn why these glaciers were named after elite East Coast schools like Harvard, Vassar, and Smith. Wildlife Encounters: Watch for a Humpback whale breaching at 2:08 and sea otters lounging on the ice. The Comparison: Why I recommend the concentrated, panoramic views of College Fjord over the more famous Glacier Bay. The Harvard Glacier: A close-up look at the deep cerulean blue crevasses of this 1.5-mile wide natural wonder. Don’t find an excuse—find a reason to explore. The world is waiting for you to see it with your own eyes.
