A memorable real life Alaska experience

Published on Sep, 2024

In September 2024 we were in port in Whittier, Alaska. The Phillips cruise terminal was right next door to the Holland America cruise ship. Great decision. We had originally booked the 4 hours cruise. They called us and said it was canceled but offered the 6 hours cruise. We had a 6+ hours memorable adventure. The Catamaran was brand new and very comfortable and only accommodated 150 guests which made it possible to be up close and personal with all those glaciers. Although the weather was cold and a little wet we were very comfortable and visibility from inside the vessel was excellent. The salmon chowder lunch was good. The Park Ranger aboard the boat was very knowledgeable. In additional to stopping at multiple glaciers we had an opportunity to see harbor seals, sea otters, stellar sea lions and eagles. This was an incredible excursion at a reasonable price, to be recommended to anyone who wants to have a real life Alaska experience.

The views of the glaciers and wildlife were incredible, but to top it off, the narration was super incitful and interesting

Great way to spend a day in Alaska

Truly great experience. They don't exaggerate when they guarantee you won't get seasick. It's an amazing boat tour, unbelievably beautiful nature, a lot of wildlife to see and magical glaciers.

Perfect way to see the glaciers

Published on Sep, 2024

We took this tour which included the train ride from Anchorage as something to do before boarding our Princess Cruise. It was more spectacular than we imagined. From the luggage drop off at the train depot that took our bags straight to our cruise ship to the amazing views from the train as we made our way to Whittier and on the ship as it sailed out to the glaciers. We were able to get up very close to the glaciers and waterfalls with all the beautiful scenery surrounding us. The lunch was good and more than we expected. The crew was absolutely the friendliest and made the adventure more interesting and were more than willing to go out of their way to make it an enjoyable time.

We loved this tour, highly recommend

This was a great tour with lots of glaciers and wildlife to see, even though it rained on and off all afternoon. The boat was very comfortable and the sound was calm, and the food was delicious - we had the salmon chowder. We appreciated getting to spend time watching the glaciers as they were breaking a little and also the many seals, sea lions, and even bears.
