Star Princess cruise sails to Dawes Glacier in Alaska
The luxury cruise liner Star Princess took passengers into Alaska’s Endicott Arm fjord to view the Dawes Glacier, a 182‑metre tall ice wall that reflects blue light. Guests reported early‑morning ship manoeuvres that positioned stateroom windows close to the glacier’s calving front, allowing them to see the ice formation from their cabins and deck. During the trip a brown bear was sighted on a nearby hillside, prompting excitement among travelers.
The voyage highlighted the glacier’s striking visual impact and the ship’s extensive dining and service offerings, including specialty restaurants and five‑course meals. Travelers described the experience as a rare opportunity to observe an Arctic landscape from a cruise ship.
