【Alaska Summer Tour】Whittier Prince William Bay Glacier Cruise Day Tour: Cruise Ticket and Meal on Board

Don’t Miss This!

The glacier cruise in Prince William Sound was absolutely stunning. We were lucky with clear skies, which made the icebergs even more mesmerizing. The crew was friendly and informative, and the boat itself was very comfortable. We even spotted sea otters and seals. Definitely one of the best day tours I’ve ever taken. Perfect for couples or families!

Preguntas frecuentes sobre tours de Whittier

How do I get to Whittier from Anchorage and what’s the easiest route?

Drive the Seward Highway (AK-1) south for about 60 miles - it takes roughly 1.5 hours. Exit at Portage, take the Anton Anderson Tunnel (open hourly), the only railroad-vehicle tunnel in North America. Personal vehicles can enter during scheduled openings; check the Alaska DOT schedule in advance. Winter driving conditions may require snow tires or chains.

Is Whittier accessible year-round despite heavy rainfall and snow?

Yes, Whittier is accessible year-round via the Anton Anderson Tunnel, which remains open on a strict schedule even in winter. The town receives over 150 inches of rain annually and heavy snowfall, but road and tunnel maintenance ensures access. Always check tunnel timings and weather advisories before travel, especially November–March.

Can I visit Whittier without a cruise ship, and what are top independent activities?

Yes, you can visit Whittier independently. Explore the Begich Towers, hike near Portage Lake, take a wildlife boat tour to see seals and glaciers, or kayak in Placer River. Rent gear locally or join a guided outing. The Whittier Waterfront Trail offers scenic views and access to historic WWII sites.

What should I know about staying overnight in Whittier’s Begich Towers?

Overnight stays in Begich Towers are limited to guests of residents or authorized accommodations like the on-site hotel section. Book through approved providers in advance. The tower functions as a self-contained community with groceries, laundry, and security. Visitors must sign in at the front desk and follow access rules.
