| The two RV Gypsies explored the beauty and grandeur of Kenai Fjords National Park onboard a smooth sailing catamaran. The cruise included a fully narrated tour from a National Park Ranger. Water, coffee and tea was available throughout the cruise at no additional charge, plus a lunch choice of Alaska salmon or turkey lunch meat on a bagel with cream cheese. Complimentary use of binoculars on board (some cruises charge $5 for binoculars use). | |

| Seward played a vital role in WWII. The Port of Seward was the northern-most ICE-FREE port and served as the southern terminus of the Alaska Railroad, a critical supply line for the war effort. | |

| The Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise is a 6-hour cruise, approximately a 120 miles round-trip. A beautiful full-color wildlife and glacier guide is provided as an extra feature. | |
 |
 |
| Bear Glacier in Resurrection Bay is the largest glacier in the Kenai Fjords National Park. Several smaller glaciers were viewable during the cruise - the Aialik, Pedersen and Holgate Glaciers. | |

Dall's porpoise play alongside
the boat - they are very fast, and black with a white belly, similar in
color to an orca, but much smaller. They can travel up to 50 mph. |

| A camera on the rocks constantly monitors the Steller Sea Lions. A local TV station broadcasts these live images, often zooming in on individual Sea Lions to check their markings so they know one Sea Lion from another. | |

These birds resemble penguins,
but they are not penguins. |
