Seward Alaska Day Tours
Kenai Fjords National Park Tour
Full Day Cruise
This
110-mile full-day cruise travels into Kenai Fjords National Park and
to the Chiswell Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Your host will be
a uniformed National Park Ranger, who will provide narration on your
journey and point out the many spectacular sights while fielding any
questions you may have.
Wildlife is abundant throughout the Kenai National Park, and the
tidewater glaciers are massive. You'll visit the mighty Holgate
Glacier where guests often witness calving - a process by which
glaciers shed giant blocks and slabs of ancient ice - from a close
distance. With photo opportunities galore, your cruise will be
unforgettable.
The
full-day Kenai Fjords National Park cruise departs daily from
Seward. The drive to Seward from Anchorage is about a three-hour
trip and is full of scenery including: mountains, inlets, lakes,
rivers, glaciers and more. If you'd rather use your travel time to
gaze at the spectacular sights, we can arrange transportation via
motor coach or the legendary Alaska Railroad.
The modern Coast Guard-certified vessel features heated cabins,
multiple outside decks, a full-service bar and clean restrooms, not
to mention our experienced and friendly crew who will assure your
comfort and safety at all times.
A
delicious Alaska salmon and prime rib meal is served buffet style
with guaranteed reserved table seating in a heated cabin for every
guest. Free full-color guide to the Kenai Fjords National Park for
every paying adult. Large, stable vessels with multiple viewing
decks and fog-free windows. See more wildlife with our "cruising
restaurant" service, allowing you the comfort and convenience of
exploring as you dine.

Half-day Cruise
Our half-day wildlife cruise also departs
from Seward but we venture 55 miles roundtrip into the world of
wildlife found in and around the pristine waters of Resurrection
Bay.
To allow for up close encounters with wildlife, we guide our ship
alongside massive bird rookeries and sea lion colonies stopping
along the route to view passing whales and sea otters. During the
cruise we'll pass towering alpine glaciers, including the enormous
Bear Glacier, while providing spectacular photo opportunities galore
from the many outdoor viewing decks.
