Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Denne 7,5 timers krydstogt i Kenai Fjords National Park afgår dagligt kl. 9.30 og returnerer kl. 17.00. Krydstogtet vil rejse cirka 130 miles rundtur gennem Resurrection Bay til Kenai Fjords National Park. Da dette krydstogt går ud i den åbne Alaskabugt, anbefales det ikke til alle, der er tilbøjelige til at blive syge. Vores halvdags Resurrection Bay-krydstogter er meget bedre muligheder, hvis køresyge er en bekymring.
Denne 7,5 timers krydstogt i Kenai Fjords National Park afgår dagligt kl. 9.30 og returnerer kl. 17.00. Krydstogtet vil rejse cirka 130 miles tur-retur gennem Resurrection Bay til Kenai Fjords National Park.
Vi sejler gennem det beskyttede vand i Resurrection Bay, søger efter dyreliv og nyder en spektakulær natur.
Vi sejler med Bear Glacier, en piemonte-gletsjer og den største gletsjer i Kenai Fjords National Park.
Vores næste stop er Holgate Glacier, en anden aktivt kælvende tidevandsgletsjer. Vi vil bruge cirka 20 minutter foran hver gletsjer, og flyder blandt isbjergene, mens vi ser efter spektakulær kælvning.
Efter at have krydset gennem Resurrection Bay, runder vi Cape Aialik (udtales "I-al-ik) ind i Aialik Bay. Når vi sejler ind i Aialik-bugten, får du dit første glimt af Aialik-gletsjeren, en aktiv tidevandsgletsjer. Vi stopper foran gletsjeren og holder øje med kælvningen, hvor store stykker glacialis brækker af og styrter ned i vandet.
Afhængigt af vejret vil vi sejle til Chiswell-øerne eller Cape Resurrection, hjemsted for tusindvis af ynglende Alaska-havfugle som søpapegøjer, kryger og skarver. Kaptajnen vil stoppe båden meget tæt på havfuglenes redeområder, hvilket giver gode fotomuligheder. Vi vil også besøge Stellers søløvekolonier, hvor Steller søløver samles på den barske, klippefyldte kystlinje. Havoddere, hvidhovedet ørne og bjerggeder ses også ofte langs ruten.

It's very COLD and windy but totally worth it! The staff was outstanding and very informative. They made sure we had everything we need for a great day at sea. We had plenty of chances to get all photo angles of seals, goats, whales, otters, puffins etc.
Despite the choppy, rough sea, this cruise turned into one of the unmissable experiences of my Alaskan journey from Italy. Marcelle, the captain, and her fantastic crew made all the difference. Watching Marcelle confidently navigate both with and against the high waves outside the bay was an experience in itself, while at the same time she became the wonderful narrative voice of our journey. Her passion, confidence and distinctive tone of voice were captivating. She shared fascinating insights into the sea and marine life, geology, World War II history, glaciers and local life…always informative, but never sounding scripted;) The highlights were extraordinary: getting close to Aialik Glacier and witnessing a sudden, spectacular calving, as well as seeing fin whales along the way. Moments that made the wildness and scale of Alaska feel very real. A fantastic crew throughout, and a special thank you to the wonderful Kilia for making the experience even more memorable.
It was a beautiful experience. Crew was very attentive. Sandwiches were good-cold but good. Overall I think you get to see gaciars and wildlife that otherwise you would never see.
Our 7.5 hour Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise with Major Marine was the highlight of our 2 weeks in Alaska. The day started cloudy but turned into the perfect weather, clear and sunny. The meeting location was easy to find and Captain Marcelle kept us informed about where we were going, how rough the seas would be, and ensured everyone on board had a chance to view the wildlife. The entire staff was friendly, gracious, accommodating, and was continually checking on passengers that were experiencing some sea sickness. We saw a variety of animals: otters, seals, sea lions, puffins, sea gulls, jelly fish, a humpback whale, and a very large pod of fin whales. The Kenai Fjords scenery is stunning, the glaciers are massive, and while wildlife can be elusive, the crew did everything possible to ensure we saw the most wildlife. While there are other vendors who provide Kenai Fjords tours, I'm so glad I chose this company for our boat tour. If in Alaska again, we would return to Seward just to repeat this boat tour. It was really that good!
It was excellent. All Cruise staff were highly professional.
We took the cruise on a rainy, cloudy, & windy day and knew it might be cut short if it was too choppy to go out into the open ocean. We decided to go ahead anyway. The crew were all great and did everything to make the trip memorable. They made sure we saw wildlife - we saw harbor seals, bald eagles, a humpback whale, sea otters, and puffins. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and we got the shortened cruise and got credited an amount for the difference. The crew deserves extra credit for their efforts and for taking care of the passengers who got seasick with sympathy and a smile. Kudos for making the best out of the situation.
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Major Marine Tours! The two adults and our 6-year-old had the BEST time, and we saw everything we had hoped for—and more: orcas, puffins, porpoises, mountain goats, eagles, and even a fin whale! 🐋🦅 The glacier was absolutely breathtaking, and we loved the fun opportunity to have a cocktail (or soda!) made with glacial ice. Such a memorable touch! The entire crew was fantastic—so knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely excited to share the experience with us. Captain Nicole was amazing at explaining everything we were seeing and giving us a heads-up about what we were about to do, which made the whole trip even more engaging. Maizey was wonderful with the Junior Rangers and really made the experience extra special for the kids. Anna and the rest of the crew were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the trip. The drinks and snacks were great, too, and we really appreciated the complimentary seasickness relief when the seas got rough. From the incredible wildlife to the glacier to the outstanding crew, this was truly a highlight of our trip. We couldn’t recommend Major Marine Tours more highly—an unforgettable experience for our whole family! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a great experience. We saw so much wildlife, the staff was fantastic, and the captain (Wallace I think) was engaging and interesting. Some of the wildlife we saw including a whale breaching, harbor seals, rafts of otters and a black bear. Thanks so much!
We saw puffins, sea otters, sea lions, seals, himpback whale, fin whales and amazing glaciers. It was amazing. Food wasn’t bad either. Kudos to whoever made the brownies. A must if in Seward
My family, grandparents to kids had a really nice time. We had great guides!
