About Hubbard Glacier

Hubbard Glacier is a scenic cruising stop, so ships sail into Disenchantment Bay and guests watch from the decks with no going ashore. The glacier is described as a 76-mile river of ice with a wide calving face, and the captain typically holds a respectful distance from it. Ships usually reach it on Gulf of Alaska sailings between Vancouver or Seattle and Whittier or Seward.

Guests who stay patient at the rail may see ice calve, along with harbor seals on the floes, sea otters, bald eagles and porpoises. Naturalist commentary is often part of the day.
