Whittier Cruise Reviews

not much to see or do there ...

An industrial port - simply there for off loading / on loading of provisions and passengers - nothing of note to do. If you can avoid. ...

I actually went on a private (6 person) tour with Lazy Otter in Whittier. It was amazing - 6 hours with close up views of sea lions, otters, whales, puffin, birds, and glaciers. ...

Took the Glacier Explorer train form Anchorage to Whittier - Highly recommended. The train gets to the ship around 12:05pm, and some of the buses from airport won't get there until hours later. So if you want to get on the ship early - take the train - even if you stay the night before in Anchorage it is worth it. ...

This was disembarkation day and took the rail to Denali ...

Very good, great entertaining and knowledgeable driver, Bob ...

After Glacier Bay, we cruised into College Fiord. That was a far better area to see glaciers. Numerous glaciers with big waterfalls coming down from them. The largest glacier calved several times while we were there. That area should also be a national park. We arrived at Whittier early the next morning where we disembarked and went on our train to Denali National Park. ...

Pretty, but we were bussed in so didn't see much. ...

This is where our land started by bus and even worse customer service than on the ship was experienced on land tour portion ...

Terrible. Nasty and disorganized. ...
