What's Included
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I See a Glacier on this Cruise?
Depending on the weather, you may see Bear Glacier, which is the largest glacier in Kenai Fjords National Park. Bear Glacier is a piedmont/valley glacier that ends in a freshwater lake. While the face of the glacier ends 4 miles beyond the shoreline, it is visible from a distance along our route if weather permits. You may also view alpine glaciers perched high in the mountains!
Will I See Any Whales on this Cruise?
While we cannot guarantee whale sightings, our captains are out there every day and know the wildlife hot spots to give our guests the best chances of viewing whales. On average, we see whales on 75% of our 4 Hour Kenai Fjords Wildlife Cruises between June and mid-August. The more time you are on the water, the greater your chances are of seeing whales!
Will I Get Seasick on this Cruise?
Since you'll be cruising the calmer, protected waters of Resurrection Bay, the likeliness of seasickness is typically low. If you are prone to seasickness, we recommend taking motion sickness medication before the cruise. This medication is available for purchase at the check-in office and onboard the cruises.
Is a Meal Included on this Cruise?
There is no meal included on this cruise. A snack bar is included onboard, and you are welcome to bring your own food with you. Glass containers and personal alcohol are not permitted.
