Glacier Bay: Four Lines Win Contracts.

If you want to cruise to Glacier Bay National Park some time in the next 10 years, you'll have four lines to choose from.

Entry by ships into the park is strictly regulated, and limited to two ships per day. Requirements for a ship to enter include
maintaining operating practices that have minimal impact on the environment
minimizing underwater sound produced so as not to disturb marine life
having a "comprehensive" educational program for their cruise passengers
"Franchise" fees on a per passenger basis


The four lines awarded the 10 year contracts, and the number of annual visits awarded each is as follows:

Princess - 58
HAL - 65
NCL - 22
Cruise West - 8

I wonder if Carnival bought some slots on Ebay? or maybe from a sister line.

e.g Carnival Spirit Sept 7, 2010 sailing...

In theory they could use one of the permits from a sister company but only it the Sprit meets the standards and is approved by the Park Service.

You might keep an eye on that sailing and see it the itinerary changes.

I see there are no Celebrity or Royal Caribbean in that list. Interesting.
