Where is Prince William Sound?
The unspoiled wilderness of Prince William Sound can be found in the Gulf of Alaska, on the east side of the Kenai Peninsula. Surrounded by the Chugach Mountains and protected from the sea by barrier islands, it is a stunning natural paradise that welcomes visitors seeking a memorable and authentic Alaska experience.
Incredible tidewater glaciers are tucked into fjords along the rugged coastline and a rich variety of marine wildlife—from whales to sea otters to puffins—populate the area.
Whittier, Alaska
Wildlife and glacier tours with Prince William Sound Glacier Cruises are conveniently based out of Whittier, Alaska, a former military port that provided one of the few ice-free ports in south central Alaska. On your way from nearby Anchorage, you can enjoy the marvelous scenery along Turnagain Arm and travel through Alaska's longest tunnel as part of your Alaska vacation — drive yourself, relax in a comfortable coach or ride the rail with the Alaska Railroad. There are a number of options for getting here.
