Details
Stretching more than 120 kilometres (75 miles) from the Yukon, Hubbard Glacier is Alaska’s largest tidewater glacier and one of the most breathtaking scenic cruising experiences in the world.
Towering nearly 90 metres (300 feet) above the waterline and stretching an incredible 11 kilometres (7 miles) across at its face, this immense river of ice feels almost impossible to comprehend in scale until you witness it in person.
As Crown Princess enters Disenchantment Bay, the scenery transforms into a dramatic world of floating icebergs, towering blue ice walls, and glacier-carved wilderness unlike anywhere else on Earth.
What Makes Hubbard Glacier So Unforgettable
