Take a cruise to glaciers of Alaska

“The problem with staying on the ship is that there's a sharp, narrow turn in Endicott Arm that sometimes ships won't make, because of ice in the water. I've had captains on Carnival, Royal, and Princess turn around, so a lot of furious passengers only got a long-distance view of a glacier. [...] Also, a lot of the delight of the fjords is wildlife on the ice floes in the water, like eagles and seals, and the incredible beauty of the ice itself--incredible deep white/blue of ice that's overturned, which you won't see well from a balcony.”
