Magical Experiences Await On Your Cruise
Hubbard Glacier
Witness the awe-inspiring beauty of the Hubbard Glacier, one of Alaska's most dynamic and actively calving glaciers. Located in eastern Alaska and part of Yukon, Canada, Hubbard Glacier is a highlight for any cruise along the state's southeastern coastline. This massive glacier is especially known for its spectacular calving events, where huge chunks of ice break off and thunder into the sea, creating a breathtaking natural spectacle. As you sail near this towering ice formation, the stunning display of nature's power is both humbling and exhilarating. The deep blue hues of the glacier's ice against the rugged wilderness provide a perfect backdrop for photography and lasting memories of the wild, untamed beauty of Alaska.

Your Dream Alaskan Cruise is Waiting
Embark on an APT Luxury Cruise to Alaska and prepare for a journey filled with awe-inspiring natural wonders and unforgettable wildlife encounters. As your cruise ship navigates through the icy waters of the north, you will come face-to-face with some of the planet’s most spectacular landscapes and creatures. Kenai Fjords National Park brings you closer to Alaska’s diverse marine life and bird species. The park is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, where the rugged landscapes meet the Gulf of Alaska. During a cruise through these waters, you may spot playful sea otters, harbour seals, and a variety of seabirds, including the majestic bald eagles. These birds are often seen perched atop tree branches or soaring high above the cliffs, scanning the waters for their next meal. A whale watching tour is a must-do in Alaska. These tours offer more than just a glimpse of whales; they provide a front-row seat to the humpback whales' breathtaking breaches and the orcas’ synchronised swimming. The nutrient-rich waters of Alaska are a perfect feeding ground for these giants, making it one of the best places in the world for whale watching. In addition to marine giants, the shores and forests around these waters are home to spectacular wildlife such as brown bears. These magnificent creatures can often be seen along the coastline, foraging for food or catching salmon in the rivers.
