Bookmark & shareThe Holy Grail for glacier-gazers, whale-watchers and blue-water paddlers.
Here, ice-blue tidewater glaciers spill from the mountains and fill the sea with icebergs of all shapes and sizes, and the water teems with marine life. Glacier Bay is the crowning jewel in the itinerary of cruise ships to the region and a dream destination for anybody who has ever paddled a kayak.
