点评:I absolutely loved this one-hour cruise to Portage Glacier — it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of our trip, even after already seeing Glacier Bay and College Fjord on a larger cruise. Located just about an hour south of Anchorage, this compact but impactful tour is perfect for travelers looking to get up close to a glacier without committing to an all-day excursion.
The MV Ptarmigan glides through the ice-dotted waters of Portage Lake, offering stunning views of the glacier from the water. The ride is smooth, the ship is heated and comfortable, and the scenery is simply spectacular. I was hesitant at first — thinking, do we really need another glacier tour? — but this ended up being one of my favorites.
The crew made the experience even better. Our guide (I believe his name was George) managed to blend science with humor in a way that was both educational and entertaining. The staff also went above and beyond by taking photos for guests and making everyone feel welcome.
Before boarding, we stopped at the small café just up the hill from the dock — a perfect pre-cruise treat. The soup was hearty, the homemade cookies were delicious, and the cozy atmosphere added to the charm of the day.
For the price, this is hands down the best glacier cruise in Alaska. If you're anywhere near Anchorage, don’t skip it. Even if you think you've “seen enough glaciers,” this one might just surprise you — it certainly did for me.
翻译:我非常喜欢这趟一小时的波蒂奇冰川游轮之旅——它成为了我们旅程中最难忘的经历之一,即使之前已经在一次大型游轮上游览过冰川湾和学院峡湾。这趟行程距离安克雷奇以南约一小时车程,紧凑却意义非凡,非常适合想要近距离接触冰川而又不想花一整天时间游览的游客。
MV Ptarmigan 号游轮在波蒂奇湖冰雪点缀的水域中穿梭,从水上欣赏冰川的壮丽景色。航行平稳,船上配备暖气,舒适宜人,景色更是美不胜收。起初我有些犹豫,心想我们真的还需要再来一次冰川之旅吗?——但最终,这趟旅程成为了我的最爱之一。
船员们让这次体验更加完美。我们的导游(我记得他叫乔治)巧妙地将科学与幽默融为一体,既寓教于乐。工作人员也尽心尽力地为客人拍照,让每个人都感到宾至如归。
登船前,我们在码头山上的一家小咖啡馆稍作停留——这绝对是航程开始前完美的犒劳。汤很丰盛,自制饼干美味可口,舒适的氛围为这一天增添了无限魅力。
就价格而言,这绝对是阿拉斯加最好的冰川游轮之旅。如果你在安克雷奇附近,千万不要错过。即使你觉得自己已经“看够了冰川”,这次的游轮之旅也可能会给你带来惊喜——对我来说确实如此。
