If you’re planning an Alaska cruise and are wondering whether a glacier shore excursion is worth the extra time and money, this may be the one experience that changes your mind. In this video, you'll learn about the 26 Glaciers Tour by Phillips Cruises departing from Whittier, Alaska — including logistics for cruise passengers, what the day is like onboard, wildlife sightings, how close you actually get to the glaciers, and how it compares to other popular glacier experiences like Mendenhall Glacier or Hubbard Glacier shore excursions. From navigating the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel to seeing Harvard Glacier up close, spotting sea otters and harbor seals during seal pup season, and warming up with chowder and a fresh chocolate chip cookie between glacier stops — the time will fly by. If your cruise begins or ends in Whittier, this tour can easily double as an airport transfer day or a perfect pre- or post-cruise adventure. If Alaska is on your bucket list, this is one experience you may not want to miss. 👉 Phillips Cruises booking information: https://phillipscruises.com Have you taken a glacier excursion in Alaska?
