The surrounding mountains are just at 7,000 feet tall with melting snowcaps forming amazing waterfalls.\u00a0 This was one of the most interesting days I\u2019ve ever had on Disney Cruise Line and certainly the views were among the best I\u2019ve ever seen (comparable to the views in Peru from my Adventures by Disney trip).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone

passage, we encountered an iceberg field and the ship moved extremely slow and used the thrusters to move the ice out of the way so that we could\u00a0 get to the Sawyer Glacier (there are actually two glaciers &#8211; the north and south, the latter of two is the one ships can access)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10212\" title=\"Alaska

get that perfect view \u2013 but it was perfect from wherever we stood.\u00a0 Sediment from the glacier causes the water to be a striking color of blue.\u00a0 Truly amazing and the captain was able to position the ship incredibly close (he later joked that Disney magic gets the Disney Wonder closer than any other cruise ship to the glacier than other cruise lines \u2013 I think I believe it!).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"image_title\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"image_title\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10213\" title=\"Alaska - sawyer

crowds of passengers trying to get a feel it was actually pretty cool (pun intended).<\/p>\n<p>The captain rotated the ship from port to starboard (think windshield wiper movement) for maybe an hour and we came back down to our staterooms to enjoy the views from our verandah (and where we had no crowds and it was a bit warmer!).\u00a0 We were able to see dozens (maybe hundreds) of seals laying on the icebergs and swimming around them in the ice field.\u00a0 Once even came up right below our verandah as if to beg for food.\u00a0 It was so cool, but I had to wonder why he wasn\u2019t scared of this massive ship!<\/p>\n<p>The captain made a 360 degree spin as the final time for viewing and it was time to sail back through the fjords \u2013 the only way in is the same way out so we were afforded amazing scenery on the journey out of the Inside Passage which we enjoyed from our stateroom &#8211; an exciting day of adventure and we never had to leave the ship!<\/p>\n<p><img
