Creator's Key Takeaways

Sailing to Hover Glacier isn't just a cruise excursion. It's a front row seat to the raw power and beauty of nature.

We had a spectacular time visiting both Hover Glacier and Glacier Bay National Park.

Glacier Bay National Park offers an unforgettable glimpse into the raw beauty of the last frontier.

We recommend that you use this time to explore different spots on the ship to get a fresh perspective.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Explore different spots on the ship during scenic cruising for fresh perspectives.
Dress warmly for excursions, as it can be cold even on the ship's bow.
Check if your cruise line has permits for Glacier Bay, as access is limited.
