About this experience
We make it easy to see it all in one day! Relax on the coach as you enjoy the beauty of Turnagain Arm. On the cruise get ready to view one of the largest concentration of glaciers in Alaska. Weather, ice conditions and wildlife activity changes daily and our captains may adjust the route to provide the best cruise experience while keeping your safety and comfort a top priority. We take pride in ensuring that your time with us is an enjoyable memory that becomes a favorite highlight of your Alaska vacation. We operate first-class catamarans.

Don’t miss this!
Wear warm clothes and hat and gloves. Bring a portable phone charger. It’s a fantastic trip not to be missed!
Response from the operator: Those are all great recommendations and we couldn't have said it better ourselves. Thank you for your review and we hope to welcome you back soon.

Outstanding cruise to see...
Outstanding cruise to see glacier,great commentary by captain during the trip.Would recommend bringing your own lunch,provided food inadequate,didn’t receive julienne veg salad as advertised.
Response from the operator: Thank you for joining us and for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the glaciers and the captain’s commentary. We’re sorry the included lunch did not meet your expectations. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention because we need to find the piece of collateral that lists the julienne salad as this was our first season not having it as a part of the meal. Thank you!

So beautiful it felt surreal to see it all.
Everything was so amazing. The views, glaciers, sea lions and sea otters felt like being in a post card. Stunning views, worth every dollar.
Response from the operator: Thank you for letting us be your guide to Prince William Sound!

As advertised. The one...
As advertised. The one thing is offering a second option for those who don't like seafood. Chicken soup or something similar.
Response from the operator: Thank you for that feedback and your review. We will certainly discuss this with our team at our end of season meeting.

Fantastic
Fantastic views up close of the glacier watching it break off and listening to the sounds it makes when it hits the water...was the highlight! Saw seals, otters, and bears.
Response from the operator: The sound of calving glaciers truly is an experience that stays with you. We greatly appreciate your review and for giving us the opportunity to be your guide to Prince William Sound and everything it has to offer.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Prince William Sound 26 Glacier Cruise and Coach Package: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Anchorage.
How much does Prince William Sound 26 Glacier Cruise and Coach Package cost?
+
Prices start at $368 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Anchorage usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Prince William Sound 26 Glacier Cruise and Coach Package take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Anchorage is not rushed.
Is Prince William Sound 26 Glacier Cruise and Coach Package worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Anchorage, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Prince William Sound 26 Glacier Cruise and Coach Package?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Prince William Sound 26 Glacier Cruise and Coach Package suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Prince William Sound 26 Glacier Cruise and Coach Package?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Anchorage can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Anchorage and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Prince William Sound 26 Glacier Cruise and Coach Package start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Anchorage within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Anchorage?
+
Anchorage is the staging point for glacier cruises out of Whittier and Seward, Denali flightseeing, wildlife conservation centre visits, dog sledding and northern lights chases in winter. Long transfer times make itinerary honesty essential. On Outty we rank every Anchorage experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include PRISTINE - Wilderness, Wildlife, Glacier Experience in Anchorage, Anchorage Trolley's Deluxe City Tour, Anchorage Trolley's 1-Hour City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Anchorage?
+
June to August for glaciers, September to March for aurora. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Anchorage?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
