glacier bay is normally the highlight of the cruise we have a lot of beautiful ports that we visit to a lot of shore excursions but this is the place to go by cruise ship visiting the glaciers up and close

the spirit and the kindness of the crew and the interaction with the guests along with a variety of entertainment activities amazing culinary venues coupled with unforgettable ports of call was the perfect recipe for a cruise vacation that i will never forget
