Whittier shore excursion

[pmjnh]

Greetings!

 

We will be on a back to back cruise with Whittier ,AK , being our turnaround port. We are scheduled to depart Whittier at 8PM.

we are planning on doing the Phillips 26 Glacier cruise, which runs from 12:30-6:45 PM. I know this is a small cruise port and looking at the timing and wondering if this is cutting it too close for our 8PM departure.

there is a shorter tour if need be. Does anyone know how close the Phillips docking is to the cruise terminal?

 

thank you

Phillips designs their schedule to work with the cruise ship. The Phillips dock is right next to the cruise terminal.

Thank you. This excursion is not a ship excursion , which is why I am concerned a bit.

 

by the way, we enjoyed your blog about this cruise in Whittier.

Phillips wouldn't stay in business long if they were causing people to miss their cruise ships.

They’re right there together. We did the 26 Glacier cruise before boarding Princess for 8PM sailing last year. No problem, and no lines for Princess embarkation that late in the evening.
