Whittier post cruise activities

[LynnSD]

Princess cruise ends in Whittier.      Are there any wildlife cruises or similar activities to be had there?   Or should we plan on getting to Seward for a couple of days?
thanks.

The 26 Glacier cruise is pretty good but I would also head to Seward there's more to do in Seward.

You may want to also check prices of hotels. I looked and Anchorage is triple the cost of Whittier, I don't know about Seward. Lots of hikes in Whittier, and you can also take the Alaska Railroad. I'm staying in Whittier for a few days after my cruise and then taking the bus to start a 20 day land tour in Anchorage.

I recommend the Phillips 26 glacier cruise.  It was amazing.  

 

If not, and if you want to save a little dough, drive out of Whittier and take the Portage Glacier cruise.  It's only an hour, and it's the only way to actually see the glacier.....well, short of a strenuous hike.    

 

There's much more to do in Seward.
