Located on the east side of the Kenai Peninsula in the Gulf of Alaska, Prince William Sound houses the port of Valdez, the islands Cordova and Whittier, and the Alaska native villages Chenega and Tatitlek. Originally named "Sandwich Sound" by Captain James Cook in honor of his patron, the Earl of Sandwich, it was later changed to Prince William Sound to honor English Prince William IV. Cruise ships frequently traverse the waters to see the Alaskan glaciers up close, as it is very accessible from Anchorage.

Whittier and Glacier Cruise Day Tour : Glacier & Marine Life Cruise Included | Western-style Box Lunch on The Boat

Sea Otters and Glaciers

Everything about this cruise was perfect. It was smooth and comfortable, with lots of room to enjoy both indoor and outdoor views. The glacier sightings were amazing, and we got up close to several without feeling rushed. The onboard staff was friendly and helpful, and the provided lunch was surprisingly good. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Whittier area.

Day cruises from Whittier and Valdez, such as Prince William Sound Kayak Tours and Stan Stephens Cruises, provide access to Columbia Glacier, icebergs, and marine wildlife. Choose covered vessels with naturalist guides for best viewing in variable weather.
