Columbia Glacier Cruise
This 6 1/2 hour cruise from Valdez travels through Prince William Sound and will feature a visit to spectacular Columbia Glacier. Stan Stephens Cruises has operating in Prince William Sound for over 30 years. In addition to their experienced captains, each vessel features comfortable, warm, indoor seating and ample outdoor observation decks. On board you will have a chance to view the Sounds' wildlife including Bull Head Sea Lion haul out. You will learn about the mining, oil shipping, earthquake, and fishing history, and you will hear stories about the first people to explore and live in the Sound. Included in this tour is a water-based description of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Terminal. You will cruise approximately 80-miles round-trip, and a light lunch is served on board.
This is also a great trip if you are staying the Copper River Princess Lodge for two or more nights. Valdez is about 100 miles or two hours by car south of the Lodge.
What To Wear
We recommend that you dress in warm layers of clothes, as the temperatures at the glaciers will generally be in the mid 40's. Be sure to bring binoculars, a camera, and plenty of film.
