Glacier Bay Lodge is located inside Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve which lies at the northwest end of the Alexander Archipelago in Southeastern Alaska. This Alaska wilderness lodge is the perfect base for exploring Glacier Bay’s tidewater glaciers, deep fjords, and abundant populations of Alaska wildlife, including eagles, seals, sea lions, and brown bears. Glacier Bay Lodge provides moderate-level accommodations with a rustic ambiance. The main lodge hosts a comfortable main sitting area with a fireplace, park interpretive center, gift shop, and restaurant, and National Park Rangers provide talks about the many natural attractions of this World Heritage Site.
Meals transfers in Juneau, gratuities, and excursions other than mentioned.
