A Glacier Bay Alaska cruise indomitably remains one of my most epic travel experiences as an Acupuncturist-at-Sea. I reveled in the opportunity to witness, this crowning jewel of the SE Alaskan Inside Passage, more than 20 times. The stunning Glacier Bay National Park & Reserve lives up to its name with 50+ named glaciers. Also, this remote paradise is only accessible by air or sea, with no roads to its grandeur. Read on to learn about what highlights to expect when cruising Glacier Bay…

Everywhere you look is a site to beholden, with soaring and glaciated, snow-capped mountains, deep fiords, tidewater glaciers, icebergs, abundant marine and terrestrial wildlife, all while on a journey through crystal clear turquoise waters…Here all of life’s problems dissolve into the infinite wildness of the moment here and now. By just being here the body, mind and soul cleanses and immerses the 5 senses in a healing journey…
Glacier Bay basin splits into the eastern and western arms. Most cruises navigate the Western Arm, with the most dramatic tidewater glaciers. While cruising Glacier Bay, the 50+ glaciers (tidewater and landlocked) are all around you. Think of glaciers as slow moving rivers of ice. The 7 tidewater glaciers dramatically terminate along the shores as a snout hundreds of feet high with stunning blue ice. Glacier Bay’s tidewater glaciers astound as some of the most impressive in the world. Seven of these glaciers are reported to be active tidewater glaciers, displaying the calving phenomenon. Calving is when glaciers dramatically break off into icebergs plunging into the sea with thundering noise raising large waves.
