In this video, we take you along on a small boat excursion to get close to Hubbard Glacier during our Alaska cruise aboard the Sapphire Princess. 🔗 Linktree (all our travel links, gear & social media): 👉 https://linktr.ee/finesttravelbeat On paper, this excursion sounds amazing—leaving the ship to get even closer to one of the largest and most active glaciers in Alaska. In reality, Alaska weather had other plans. The glacier was heavily covered in fog, limiting visibility and impacting the overall experience. We share: What the Hubbard Glacier small boat excursion is like How close you actually get to the glacier What happens when fog rolls in Whether we would book this excursion again Important details about Princess Cruises issuing a partial onboard credit Helpful glacier facts, including why Hubbard Glacier is still advancing This is an honest review based on our real experience, and one that may help you decide whether this excursion is worth it for your Alaska cruise. If you’re planning an Alaska cruise and trying to decide between ship-based glacier viewing or a small boat excursion, this video will give you a realistic look at the pros, cons, and risks—especially when weather doesn’t cooperate. 👇 Have you done this excursion or seen Hubbard Glacier another way?
