Do you want to take the vacation of a lifetime that will not only surround you with beautiful scenery but also give you or your family the flexibility to travel as you choose? If so, then you may want to consider cruising to beautiful Whittier, Alaska.
That is why we recommend that clients who want to spend a bit more time in a city like Whittier take a one-way cruise to this destination. By sailing on a world-renowned vessels like Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Sun, which has 14 dining options and 10 bars and lounges, or Princess Cruises’ Coral Princess, a ship that offers passengers educational lectures and cooking demonstrations, you can rest assured that there’s something for any person of any age.
If you want to get some exercise when in Whittier, then one activity that should definitely be on your itinerary is visiting the Portage Pass Trail. Here, as you make the one-mile ascent up the mountain, you’ll have breathtaking views of Portage Glacier and Passage Canal. On your way down, you’ll run into the beach and on Portage Lake. The spectacular views of Whittier’s pristine landscape make Portage Pass Trail a photographer’s paradise.
The Prince William Sound Museum may occupy a small room adjacent to the Anchor Inn Grocery Store, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a wealth of information about Whittier that you’ll learn when you come here. Here you’ll find detailed displays that cover the city’s history and even an interesting exhibit about Anton Anderson, the man who carved out Whittier’s main tunnel and was eventually elected mayor of the city.
Falling from above Whittier Creek is the gorgeous Horsetail Falls. Residents of Whittier use the falls to tell them whether it’s too windy to go out on their boat. If the water is falling being pulled to one side, then the weather isn’t conducive to boating. And even if it is a bit windy, you’ll still have lots of other unbelievable views of other waterfalls that surround the creek.
