4-Night Cruise 18a
DAY 1
SAIL FROM
WHITTIER In Anchorage
board a motor-coach to travel to Whittier
along beautiful Turnagain
Arm. Keep watch for the surefooted
Dall sheep that nibble grass on the steep
cliffs overhead. Arrive in Whittier, where the
crew welcomes you aboard the Spirit of
Columbia. Depart for seldom visited
areas of Prince William Sound, starting
with a visit to Blackstone Glacier in Blackstone
Bay. The ship will anchor for a quiet overnight
stay in a secluded cove. D
DAY 2
COLLEGE FJORD AND
ESTHER PASSAGE
Wakeup near the face of massive glaciers in
College Fjord. You will ease close to the
active faces of numerous glaciers that calve
icebergs into the tidal waters below.
Continue on to narrow Esther Passage, a
waterway only small ships can navigate. Playful
sea otters live here, often floating placidly on
their backs in a bed of kelp, dining on crabs.
Explore the serene Eaglek Bay. BLD
DAY 3
CORDOVA
Make a port call at tiny Cordova. This
fishing village, which is inaccessible by highway,
has become world famous for its Copper
River salmon. These delicious fish are caught in
the pristine delta of the Copper River. Upon your
arrival enjoy an included cultural experience
highlighting the area rich in Native history.
Optional wilderness tours include sea kayaking,
hiking, and river rafting. BLD
DAY 4
CHENEGA
GLACIER AND KNIGHT
ISLAND Today
explore southwest
Prince William Sound,
where sculpted wilderness islands lie offshore
from the craggy mountains of the Kenai
Peninsula. Narrow Icy Bay leads toward a
stunning glacier experience at the head of the
fjord. Later, enjoy "gunkholing" around the nearby
islands - a nautical term for poking around the
next corner just to see what's there. BLD
DAY5
ARRIVE IN WHITTIER
After a cruise past a bustling black-legged
kittiwake colony, disembark the Spirit
of Columbia at Whittier.
Transfer to motor-coaches for your trip via
Turnagain Arm back to Anchorage. B

DAY
1 SAIL FROM
WHITTIER
Travel from
Anchorage via motor-coach to Whittier, along
beautiful Turnagain Arm. Watch for the
surefooted Dall sheep on
the steep cliffs overhead. Arrive in Whittier,
where the crew welcomes you aboard the Spirit
of Columbia. The ship departs
for seldom-visited areas of Prince William Sound,
starting with a visit to Blackstone Glacier in
Blackstone Bay. D
DAY 2
COLLEGE FJORD
Wakeup near the face of Harvard Glacier at the
very end of College Fjord. Dozens of glaciers pour
from the mountains to the sea here. The most
impressive sights to see are skyscraper
sized pinnacles of ice plunging from the
glaciers into the water. Continue on to
narrow Esther Passage, a
waterway only small ships can navigate. Watch for
orcas, sea otters, and bald eagles here; your
Captain knows where the best sightings will be
found. Explore the serene Eaglek
Bay. BLD
DAY 3
CHENEGA GLACIER AND
ISLAND EXPLORATION
Narrow wilderness waterways - some just 200
feet wide - lead to Knight Island in the
wild southwest corner of Prince William Sound.
Winding Icy Bay leads to a spectacular glacier
calving icebergs into salt water at the head of
the fjord. The rest of the day you indulge in
leisurely exploration of islands with hardly a
trace of human habitation. BLD
DAY 4
DISEMBARK TO ANCHORAGE
Visit a large kittiwake colony before
continuing to Whittier for disembarkation. On
arrival, transfer by motor-coach back
to Anchorage. B
