Journey through Prince William Sound and come face-to-face with the Columbia Glacier-one of the world's fastest-moving glaciers and the last tidewater glacier in North America. Begin your adventure with a scenic drive through Thompson Pass and miles of green forested hillsides to the town of Valdez before embarking your cruise. In Columbia Bay, you'll see wildlife that call the sound home and have the opportunity to learn about the mining, oil shipping, earthquake, and fishing history of the area.
