Creator's Key Takeaways

If it's your first time in Alaska, Glacier Bay is the one you want.

Glacier Bay simply gives you more variety and more glacier viewing overall.

In my six experiences there, I've only made it three times because there's just too much ice in the inlet.

Glacier Bay is often viewed as the classic Alaska cruise experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose Glacier Bay National Park for your first Alaska cruise for more glaciers, wildlife, and a full national park experience.
Consider that Endicott Arm may not always reach Daw Glacier due to ice conditions.
