Grand Princess Alaska Cruise Day 5 – Scenic Cruising Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier 🏔️❄️

Day 5 aboard the Grand Princess was truly breathtaking as we cruised through Alaska’s stunning Endicott Arm toward the impressive Dawes Glacier. This scenic sailing day offered awe-inspiring views of towering fjords, floating blue icebergs, and the vast icy expanse of the massive Dawes Glacier itself, all from the comfort of the ship.

While enjoying the peaceful surroundings, we were lucky to spot a bear on the shore and later a whale swimming nearby, making this day even more memorable.

After a day full of incredible natural beauty and wildlife watching, we returned to Botticelli’s main dining room for the Formal Night Gala Dinner. The elegant atmosphere and delicious cuisine made for the perfect dining experience.

The evening wrapped up with an incredible show, Remembering a Legend – A Tribute to Whitney Houston, performed by Cheaza in the Princess Theatre. It was a moving and powerful performance that capped off a wonderful day aboard the Grand Princess.
