Valdez's story is one of resilience. The city faced a devastating earthquake and tsunami in 1964 only to rebuild and then combat the detrimental environmental impacts of an oil spill in Prince William Sound in 1989. Today, Valdez is a city that proudly displays its history while aiming to also preserve its natural beauty. During this optional extension, enjoy a cruise on Prince William Sound to discover the flora and fauna that thrives here, and behold a spectacular collection of around 150 glaciers located along the water's edge.
