Creator's Key Takeaways

Scenic cruising days are a staple of Alaska cruises. Did you even cruise to Alaska if you didn't see a glacier?

Scenic cruising days are some of the most exceptional days on Alaska cruises because of the spectacular opportunity for viewing glaciers and wildlife in a setting that is otherwise difficult, if not impossible, to access.

There are also amazingly peaceful days. People on the ship tend to enter a meditative state, allowing them to focus on the natural beauty and scenery of their surroundings.

I've been to Glacier Bay and College Fjord. On both days, it was rainy and cold, but the beauty was undeniable.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you have a stateateroom with a balcony, you can stay in your pajamas and get spectacular views without having to visit the crowded public areas of the ship.
βœ“Be prepared by packing sunscreen, rain protective layers of clothing, and perhaps something to keep your camera dry.
βœ“Most cruise lines offer shore excursions on scenic cruising days that allow cruise ship passengers to get off the large cruise ship onto a smaller boat that will take you even closer to the glacier.

Worried about not seeing a glacier due to itinerary or conditions. β€” Don't worry. Most cruise lines offer shore excursions on scenic cruising days to get closer to glaciers on smaller boats.
