Portage Glacier Cruises

Portage Glacier Cruises, operated by Na-Dena`, an Alaska Native-owned joint venture, offers tours aboard the M/V Ptarmigan to one of Alaska’s most popular glacial landscapes. The family-friendly, one-hour cruise navigates iceberg-dotted waters to the face of Portage Glacier, allowing visitors to experience Alaska’s natural environment while learning about the region’s history, glaciology, and wildlife through interpretive narration. The vessel has a fully enclosed, heated cabin with expansive windows, as well as an open-air topside deck for unobstructed viewing. With its short duration and proximity to Anchorage, the experience is designed to be both accessible and easy to incorporate into a broader Alaska itinerary.
