See Bald Eagles On Alaskan Cruise
Bald eagles are one of the most popular and most frequently watched birds in Alaska. You’ll have opportunities to watch the eagles in their natural environment
Take advantage of the sights as eagles swoop down from and snatch fish from the sea. Watch them soar elegantly through the Alaska skies or as they lounge about on the shore (and occasionally atop the boat).
If you cruise along the Inside Passage on a small ship Alaskan Cruise, you will probably see bald eagles. There is a reason the Founding Fathers thought these birds were so awe-inspiring. They are majestic, smart, noble, and mate for life, and they are fantastic hunters. Here are a few of the basics you should know when you spot them.
Bald eagles love the Inside Passage because of its incredible biodiversity and calm, clean waters. They thrive off of small mammals living in the nearby forests, the schools of salmon, and other sea life. They usually weigh between 12 and 13 pounds, and have a wingspan of up to 7 feet. They usually live between 30 and 35 years in the wild, and can live up to 50 in captivity! We cannot wait for your spirits to soar when you spot your first bald eagle from the decks of the Sikumi.
