Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Resurrection Bay, Seward, AK

The 6-hour Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise departs daily at 11:30am and returns at 5:30pm. The cruise travels approximately 100 miles round-trip through Resurrection Bay into Kenai Fjords National Park. You'll cruise through the protected Resurrection Bay and continue around Cape Aialik (pronounced “I-al-ik") into Aialik Bay to view Holgate Glacier, an active tidewater glacier. You will spend time in front of the glacier to watch for calving ice, which is when giant chunks of glacial ice break off and crash into the water.

If you've chosen the buffet, we begin serving the Alaska salmon and prime rib meal as we cruise into Aialik Bay. A National Park Ranger will be aboard to provide a detailed narrative on the history, ecology, geology, and wildlife in the area.

Your captain will also cruise out to the Chiswell Islands or Cape Resurrection (depending on weather), home to thousands of nesting Alaskan seabirds like puffins, kittiwakes, and cormorants. The captain will stop the boat close to the seabird nesting areas, providing great photo opportunities and you'll also be able to visit Steller sea lion colonies, where Steller sea lions gather on the rugged, rocky coastline. Sea otters, bald eagles and mountain goats are also commonly seen along the route.
