Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska Did not visit port

Unfortunately the weather was too foggy for us to go to Tracy Arm Fjord which was disappointing but grateful they were thinking of our safety. Other pass angers the had excursions said they had seen orcas and humpback whales.

We took the excursion to the history museum, rain forest and tongas national park to see the glaciers. Breathtaking views. Highly recommend. We still had a lot of time to walk around town and go to the shops. Eat at Tracy's King Crab which was nice.
