Best viewing spots on Sapphire?

[new2cruise]

For an Alaskan cruise, where are the best places on the Sapphire to view the glaciers?

[Essiesmom]

Anywhere on the wrap-around promenade deck.  Forward on Sun Deck.  There used to be an observation area above the bridge wings...  EM

Any location on deck 15 where you can move around and view from different locations. Any location on the promenade deck 7. Bow locations on promenade deck 8 accessed from the deck 7 promenade by the stairs. No seating. Horizon Terrace area. Aft views only. If you wish to be indoors, Skywalker's on deck 18 aft. Again only aft views window seats limited.

If you find the any of the upper deck bow areas are far too crowded, then this above mentioned area is a great alternate. But for any spot, make sure to get to them early for a prime spot. And I'll be blunt here, but don't have too many liquids if you plan on standing anywhere for long, because it will be a long one.

I also like the Promenade deck. It is covered and not crowded. It is easy to move around also.

 

Also on top of the Bridge if it is not crowded but I usually hang out on Promenade deck. I also think being lower provides a better perspective for pictures.

 

Everyone goes to Deck 15. Way too crowded.

Made a note of these location suggestions as we’ll be on the Sapphire for Alaska 2022.

We like our balcony or Skywalkers fro viewing the glaciers.
