Accessible only by boat or air, this remote nature preserve is a favorite destination for cruises, which sail right past the bay’s massive glaciers and mountains for the ultimate view. Be on the lookout for the variety of eye-catching wildlife, including eagles, moose, and humpback whales, who have made Glacier Bay home.
