We are looking for a cruise which will include Glacier Bay. Can someone comment on viewing fjords while inside Glacier Bay?

Please clarify what you mean by "viewing fjords"?

[Budget Queen]

Yes, clarify. Basic- for viewing, all you have to do, is look. :)

Wondering if you have it confused with "Tracy Arm" which is referred often as a Fjord. Sawyer is at the end of the Fjord to greet you.

 

If you want to do both Glacier Bay and Tracy Arm.... some Holland trips offer a side excursion to visit Tracy Arm's Fjord while continuing to Glacier Bay for main glacier viewing.

Actually Glacier Bay has more fjords than Tracy Arm does :D

Thanks. Since our itinerary is going to Glacier Bay and not Tracy Arms, I just wanted to make sure one of my travel companions will be able to see fjords on our trip. Fjords is part of her bucket list

In a way, Glacier Bay is one large fjord with many inlets feeding into it. Many fjords throughout Southeast Alaska.

For those craving to see both.... do pre-book the Tracy Arm side excursion if your boat offers it. The #1 excursion to sellout pre-cruise is the Tracy Arm excursion on Glacier Bay cruise itineries.

 

To clarify.... what is your ship and sailing date?
