Review summary

We had fabulous weather, except in Ketchikan. It was gloriously sunny at the Hubbard glacier. We had 3 hours at the glacier. The captain slowly rotated the ship so everyone got to see the glacier and watch huge chunks of ice break off into the sea.

We took a 4.5 hour trip out on the water and saw sea otters and harbour seals, puffins red-faced cormorants and humpback whales.

Fantastic weather we stayed here for about 3 hours. The captain slowly turned the ship around so everyone could get a good look at the glacier.
