Approximately 7 hours. From Anchorage, you'll travel by deluxe motor coach on the scenic Seward Highway to Portage Glacier. Stop at the Begich-Boggs Visitor Center to see the glaciology exhibits. Then board the
mv Ptarmigan for an unforgettable one-hour cruise across iceberg-dotted Portage Lake. On the way back to Anchorage, stop at the Alyeska Ski Resort for a one-hour lunch on your own and an optional tram ride to the top of Mt. Alyeska.
mv Ptarmigan Highlights:
You'll visit the sheer, awesome face of a mighty Alaska glacier. On your one-hour cruise aboard the
mv Ptarmigan you'll stand just 300 yards from a relic of the Ice Age and watch for icebergs to break off the glacier and crash into the water below. You will find out why Portage Glacier is Alaska's second most visited attraction.
