Glaciers are frozen mountain tops not iceberg looking masses of ice. And like all wildlife experiences you may or may not see any animals. Although we did see sea otters, porpoises, the top of a humpback whale, puffins, etc. Although there is seating indoors, expect to spend most of the time on deck - dress for cold, wet weather.
Beautiful!!

What a beautiful cruise! We saw whales, porpoises, puffin, sea otters, sea lion, and gorgeous rock formations. The crew took time to make sure we got great viewing experiences and their narrated tour was very informative, yet provided quiet space to take in the stillness and beauty. Highly recommend! L
