When Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I talk about the places that shocked us the most on our travels, Whittier Alaska always comes out on top. Picture this: you’re driving through stunning Alaskan wilderness, then you have to pass through a dark, 2.5-mile-long tunnel blasted through a massive mountain \u2014 a tunnel you share with trains, no less. And when you finally emerge into daylight, there’s no charming little Alaskan town of log cabins waiting for you. Instead, you’re greeted by a hulking concrete tower block and an eerie, abandoned military building. It’s bizarre, a little unsettling, often rainy and windswept \u2014 but the moment you hop on a boat and head out into Prince William Sound, it all suddenly makes perfect sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whittier is the most accessible gateway to a world where majestic glaciers calve directly into the ocean and orcas glide past your boat. It’s a place of stark contrasts. One moment you feel like you’re in a post-apocalyptic film, the next you’re in a National Geographic documentary. And while I probably wouldn’t recommend spending a whole week in the town itself, skipping it altogether would be a huge mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So \u2014 a tunnel, glaciers, orcas, and an abandoned tower block in the middle of nowhere. Join us as we break down how it all works, why the 26 Glaciers Cruise is worth every penny, and whether it’s even worth staying overnight. \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
