Creator's Key Takeaways
This is absolutely amazing. Hey everybody, this is Magical Mustache Man John and Cal. We are travel as couple here to take the stress out of planning your next Disney Universal or cruise vacation.
It is so breathtaking. The air is so crisp. Their wildlife is so crazy. It is just unbelievable. Yeah, I don't think I ever thought I'd see a glacier in real life.
It's such an incredible class and they're so cool. Honestly, this is one of the things we we decided to go with Princess was because of this focus on really bringing Alaska to uh the cruise ship.

Glacier Bay National Park is one of the most exclusive cruise destinations in the world. Only 2 cruise ships per day are allowed in, which means just 14 sailings per week get this experience. Princess is one of the only cruise lines that can. This is Part 5 of our Princess Alaska CruiseTour series, covering Hubbard Glacier and our full day in Glacier Bay aboard Discovery Princess. We cover: ✦ Hubbard Glacier first — getting in late because of rough seas, the slow approach and the stunning views from the ship ✦ Why Glacier Bay National Park is so restricted — only 14 cruise ships per week, and how Princess earned access ✦ The on-ship park ranger exhibits — junior ranger activities, glacier science, animal furs and pelts, even humpback whale bristles ✦ Why glaciers look bright blue (the science behind it) ✦ The 4 glaciers we saw in one day: Lamplugh Glacier, John Hopkins Glacier, Marjerie Glacier and Grand Pacific ✦ Why we couldn't get to John Hopkins Glacier (seal pup season means parts of the park are off-limits to protect wildlife) ✦ Marjerie Glacier in full detail — the calving, the deep blue ice, how to position yourself for the best view ✦ How the ship turns around so everyone gets a glacier-side view (don't stress if you don't grab a spot right away) ✦ Watching a glacier from the hot tub — yes, this is real, yes you should do it ✦ The co-stewardship between the National Park Service and the local indigenous population, and why it matters ✦ Why Glacier Bay is the single biggest reason to choose Princess for an Alaska cruise 🚢 Catch up on the rest of the series: Part 1 — Planning Your Princess Alaska CruiseTour Part 2 — Fairbanks & Denali National Park Part 3 — McKinley Lodge, Talkeetna & the Glass-Roof Train Part 4 — Discovery Princess Embarkation, Room and Ship Tour Coming next: Alaskan ports — Icy Strait Point, Juneau and Ketchikan 🏔️ Planning an Alaska cruise or Princess CruiseTour?
