It's HUGE!!!! Hubbard was my first Alaska glacier experience. If I had to pick between Hubbard and Glacier Bay National Park, I'd probably pick GBNP, but Hubbard is still great. Alaska is the kind of cruise that just once won't do. So, pick and then plan to go back again and again.

I've been to Hubbard Glacier 4 times and greatly enjoyed it . One issue , depending on the weather and time of year you might not get close to the face of the glacier . GBNP is an all day experience not a couple of hours like Hubbard . GBNP , park rangers come aboard and describe what is going and point out locations where animals are . They also hold a session for the young kids as well . The rangers also wander the upper decks to answer questions about the park and glaciers.You don't get this in Hubbard Glacier.

We have been to Hubbard Glacier several times.

We think the ice is bluer there than at Glacier Bay (which is great in its own way).

Can't really tell you but I can show you.

 

It is hard to grasp the full effect from pictures. The face is over six miles wide.

I sailed Hubbard 3 times last year. Only one sailing, got a nice close look, other 2 were over 10 miles away, which I've experienced on prior years trips. It is hit an miss, and dependent on the cpt. Having another scenic glacier sailing with Hubbard, would be suggested for anyone with a priority to see glaciers.

I really enjoyed the Glacier National Park cruise day. We were lucky to have fantastic sunny weather. It was cold and I had five layers on, but it was gorgeous.

 

These pictures have really piqued my interest in the Hubbard Glacier day on the itinerary. I hope we will have clear weather if we can't get close. I wish I had a better camera.

 

We head out on the 22nd from Seward southbound on the Radiance. I'm getting excited.
