Tricky entrances and fickle weather test seamanship skills, but dramatic scenery and abundant wildlife of Alaska’s Prince William Sound are ample rewards.
All the resources and information you need to cruise Prince William Sound, Alaska
I’ve never seen any place like this place. It seems to have everything, absent the drawbacks of having everything.
But every northward mile since leaving Victoria three months ago has been increasingly… and here is where I don’t know what to say. “Mind-blowing” and “profound” and other superlatives come to mind, but they don’t capture my experience.
I thought at first I was looking at a boat, a big, white cabin cruiser in the distance, anchored at the base of more green mountains. Then it was closer, our first iceberg, and it was otherworldly.
We’re at 56 degrees latitude and our internal clocks are all messed up by our northward progress. The days continue growing longer despite the passing of the summer solstice.
