Glacier Bay National Park, home to the ageless Marjorie Glacier, will take your breath away as you witness the amazing phenomenon called “calving.” This occurs when salt water melts the glacier’s foundation and huge pieces of ice sheer off the face. Your ship will glide through sparkling fjords on your way to the face of the glacier and you’ll want to have your cameras at the ready because you will very likely see marine wildlife of varied species. A Park Ranger will be on board to narrate your journey to the glaciers.
