Glacier Bay cruise: 16 ways to make the most of your day in the park
One of the major highlights of any Alaska cruise is visiting Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve, the 6th biggest national park in the United States.
There are over 1,000 glaciers in the 3.3 million acre park, the longest of which is 40 miles long, and a whopping 27% of the park’s surface is covered in ice. Beyond glaciers, visitors can marvel at mountain peaks reaching 15,000 feet and spot over 600 species of wildlife, from brown bears to bald eagles and harbor seals.
