Day 01 Sail from Whittier
In Anchorage board the motorcoach to travel to Whittier. Your route is along beautiful Turnagain Arm, famous for its sweeping tidal changes, in the shadow of the Chugach Range. Keep watch for the sure-footed Dall sheep that nibble grass on the steep cliffs overhead. Arrive in Whittier, where the crew welcomes you aboard the cruiseship, your home for the next four nights. The ship departs for seldom-visited areas of Prince William Sound, and will anchor in a secluded cove. |

Day 2 College Fjord and Esther Passage
Wake up near the face of a glacier in College Fjord. You will ease close to the active faces of numerous glaciers that calve icebergs into the sea. Continue on to narrow Esther Passage, a waterway only small ships can navigate. Playful sea otters live here, and your Captain knows where the best sightings will be found. The whiskery otters are often floating placidly on their backs in a bed of kelp, dining on crabs. In Eaglek Bay you may welcome onboard a local oyster farmer who will share tales of her unique life in the wilderness.

Day 3 Cordova
Make a port call at tiny Cordova. This fishing village, which is inaccessible by highway, has become world famous for its Copper River Salmon. These delicious, oil-rich fish are caught nearby in the pristine delta of the Copper River. An included sightseeing tour of Cordova highlights area history, including a stop at the delta of the mighty Copper River. If you have energy to burn, there are optional wilderness tours including sea kayaking, hiking, and river rafting.

Day 4 Chenega Glacier and Knight Island
Today explore southwest Prince William Sound, where sculpted wilderness islands lie offshore from the craggy mountains of the Kenai Peninsula. Narrow Icy Bay leads toward a stunning glacier experience at the head of the fjord. Watch for seals on the icebergs and mountain goats on the cliff faces. Later, enjoy “gunkholing” around the nearby islands - a term for poking around the next corner just to see what’s there. |

Day 5 Arrive in Whittier
After a cruise past a kittiwake colony, disembark the Spirit of Columbia at Whittier. Transfer to a motorcoach for your trip via Turnagain Arm back to Anchorage.
