Before heading back to your private viewing area, aka balcony, swing by the restaurant or a bar for a coffee or hot chocolate.
The complete journey for this route measures 30 miles. The travel time is around 4 hours.
Regardless of your location on the ship, both sides will witness the passage’s beauty. Most ships open the front bow of the ship for up close veiwing. Make no mistake, the deck will be full. One more reason to have your own balcony, no crowds. Once you arrive at Dawes Glacier the captain will turn the ship 180 degrees and exit the passage.
Snuggle up with a warm blanket and coffee on your balcony, and marvel at the granite walls before you. Rushing waterfalls flow from the sides of mountains.
Gorgeous floating chunks of ice floating in the water. The ice possesses a majestic hue. You might even catch a glimpse of a seal resting on an ice chunk.
This is when having a balcony cabin comes in handy on the cruise. For two reasons, the first being you have your own reserved space. The second reason, if the weather is to cold, you can move back into your cabin, open the blinds and watch from your bed.
We bounced back and forth between the balcony and the bed.
At the dead end of the passage lies magnificent Dawes Glacier. Seeing with your own eyes a materpiece made by mother nature is incredible. The glacier’s impressive size is complemented by the embedded colors in the ice. Being on your private balcony means there’s no need to hurry and make way for others. You can sit peaceful and soak in the beauty around. For as long as you like.
As you can see the weather was clear and we had a perfect view of the glacier on our trip.
