What To Expect
Kenai Fjords National Park
In Kenai Fjords National Park, over half of the landmass is covered by the enormous Harding Icefield, a thousand-foot block of ice that dates back to the last Ice Age. The Harding spills out in all directions in the form of glaciers. Some stretch northwest into rugged hills of the Kenai Peninsula. Others—five of them, to be exact—reach as far as the sea along the craggy coast of the Gulf of Alaska.
Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge
Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge is comprised of 2,400 islands, headlands, rocks, islets, spires and reefs and is known for its abundance of seabirds.

5.00The captain and the team were great and did their utmost to show us the beauty of Alaska. And we were so lucky: lots of Orca on our way forth and back, whole families swimming around our vessel. See lions, sea otters, puffins and seals - it was so awesome!
Great Kenai Fjords tour!

5.00The crew is great and the places they go to in the Kenai Fjords are amazing for glaciers, marine life and birds. We saw orca and humpback whales, sea lions, sea otters, lots of birds and the glacier even calved for us!

4.00It is about 5 hours sailing. We saw orcas and young humpbacks just not much of the body. And I got to visit another NP. Also saw a couple of sea otters and sea lions. This cruise was also $100 cheaper than the cruise line’s excursion. The Kenai Fjord cruise also provided transport from the cruise ship terminal to Kenai Fjord NP tour office.
Excellent experience,...
