I did a Princess cruisetour. The cruise part of it is the 7-night "Voyage of the Glaciers". I highly recommend this one, because it includes Glacier Bay & College Fjord. Watching the glacier calve from my cruiseship was one of the highlights of the cruise, and not to be missed! Most round-trip cruises don't go to Glacier Bay, just the one-ways. This one goes from Whittier to Vancouver (the direction I recommend for many reasons) but you can do it the other way, also.
You're welcome, whiteside61! I was looking at Princess' site, and apparently, certain departures of the roundtrip Inside Passage cruise on the Golden Princess also take in Glacier Bay! That is fabulous! If one of those departures works for you, I'd definitely look into it, because then you can do round-trip airfare to Seattle, rather than open-jawed to/from Anchorage/Whittier and Vancouver, which would be cheaper. It looks like it's late May into early June.Thanks Sayhello! The Princess glacier tour looks fabulous. I would love to do the whole cruisetour, but the price starts to really climb for a large family. Will probably only consider the cruise part.
I've really enjoyed reading your latest Alaskan trip report! As always, you've done a terrific job with spectacular photos!
