Alaska day cruise tours out of Seward or Anchorage are undoubtedly Alaska's most popular wildlife and glacier cruises. They are 'must do' for anyone planning an Alaska vacation! Unlike the big Alaska cruises, these Alaska day cruises are different in that they take you very close to the action; a lot nearer to glaciers and wildlife. Day cruises range in duration from all-day, to just a few hours; perfect for when you have a little extra time in a town, and need something to do. Some offer full meals of Samon and Prime Rib.
Abundant marine wildlife such as sea lions, sea otters, whales, and puffins are frequently seen throughout Kenai Fjords National Park and Prince William Sound. In addition to the wildlife; the spectacular fjords, islands, peninsulas, and tidewater glaciers make these Anchorage Alaska day cruises truly special. Shuttles are available from the ports if your just stopping in while on your big ship cruise.

My handicapped child wanted to go to visit the Alaska wilderness, and they had everything in place to make the lodging and tours accessible for us... They even picked us up from the airport. I can't wait to do all of the tours! Thank you so much for the beautiful memories.
