Once measurements began in 1895, Hubbard Glacier has been thickening and steadily advancing into Disenchantment Bay, and is now the largest calving glacier in North American. Hubbard Glacier, measures 76 miles long and plunges 1,200 feet into the depths of the bay, routinely calves off icebergs as high as 10-story buildings, sending massive blocks of ice into the sea every few minutes. Hubbard Glacier's immense beauty and phenomenal blue hues are enchanting, even from afar but when our cruise ship draws closer its towering surface really impresses, dwarfing even the uppermost deck on our ship at a whopping 40 stories high.

The Icy Strait Point experience combines authentic regional culture with incredible natural beauty. Enjoy Tlingit dancing and art. Or get closer than you'd ever imagine to humpback whales and brown bears in the wild. Icy Strait Point, owned by Huna Totem Corporation, is located on Chichagof Island, about 30 miles west of Juneau along Icy Strait in the Inside Passage. The port is centered on the restored salmon cannery, which now houses a museum, local arts and crafts shops, restaurants and a mid-1930's cannery line display. The Huna, a Tlingit tribe, have lived in the Icy Strait area for thousands of years. Included Shore Excursion - Whales and Mammal Cruise (2 hours) - Imagine being in the midst of humpback whales as they feed and frolic in the bountiful waters of Icy Strait. Our excursion begins with a high-speed catamaran ride through waters that support a wide array of marine life, including orca (killer whales), Steller's sealions, seal, porpoise, and of course the magnificent humpback whales. Keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles in the evergreen treetops.
