I will be spending a couple of days in Seward, AK on the Kenai Peninsula in Late July 2008. I plan to take a cruise along the Kenai Fjords National Park and have two questions:

1. Is the cruise worthwhile from a photographic point of view?

2. If the answer to above is yes, which cruise would provide better photo opportunities: full day or half-day. Time is more critical than cost. I would hate to blow a full day to only get images of distant ice caps.

3. If the answer to question #1 is no, what is the best way to photograph is Fjords N.P. I don't want to hock the homestead for a helicopter ride. We will be a party of four and would be willing to charter a smaller craft to get in closer.
