The train ride was a great start to the day. It was a modern and comfortable train with commentary along the way - a 2 hour scenic packed ride that emerges from a 2.5 mile long tunnel through the mountains to Whittier. We found two companies offering a glacier cruise and chose the one that we thought offered the best lunch. We really lucked in. The company, Major Marine Tours, does everything right.
For six hours we cruised Prince William Sound, saw a dozen or so glaciers, two humpback whales, sea otters, seals, two bald eagles, ice breaking off glaciers, and majestic scenery. Shortly after leaving dock we were provided with a buffet lunch consisting of fresh caught wild Alaskan Copper River Salmon, prime rib, and an assortment of sides, salads, dessert, and drinks.
Awesome pictures, Michael! Can't wait until you're back at camp to tell the whole story around a campfire! :)
