We make it easy to see it all in one day! Relax on the coach as you enjoy the beauty of Turnagain Arm. On the cruise get ready to view one of the largest concentration of glaciers in Alaska. Weather, ice conditions and wildlife activity changes daily and our captains may adjust the route to provide the best cruise experience while keeping your safety and comfort a top priority. We take pride in ensuring that your time with us is an enjoyable memory that becomes a favorite highlight of your Alaska vacation.
We operate first-class catamarans.

Wonderful experience! The staff were attentive and really respectful! Answered all questions and were extremely helpful throughout the trip. Really enjoyed the facts given by the captain and crew. I would recommend this activity to anyone coming to this area! Highlight of my trip!

In my opinion, this was the best experience: visiting Prince William Sound and seeing glaciers. The price was a little high, but you were on a 6-hour cruise, and they provided lunch. It was well worth the price. They took you up close to the icebergs, and they scooped one out and broke it into pieces for everyone to drink with fresh glacier ice cubes. The atmosphere was amazing, and they guaranteed you would not experience sea sickness. Great for families.

This was a great experience. The tunnel was unexpected and fascinating. So much to see. The only extra advise I would give…. The weather is unexpected, so dress warmer than you think. Bring snacks, and binoculars!

This was a great excursion. It was warm inside of the cabin, even though it was cold outside and rainy. We were able to go out at certain points and get a better view and better photographs. The captain and the crew were wonderful. This is a must do tour.

I had high expectations for this experience, but it was even better than I expected. I took the coach round trip from Anchorage and the 5-hour cruise. Our assigned seats on MV Bravest had a great view, so my daughter opted to spend most of the day there (and got great pictures!). I went out on deck often, and I loved the view and the fresh air. The hot meal (ours were vegetarian) and the coffee / tea service kept us very comfortable. The bathrooms were sparkling clean, the captain and crew informative, and the wildlife and glaciers very cooperative. :) Highly recommend!

This was an amazing excursion. We were in Anchorage for my son's graduation, but wanted the "cruise experience". We were not disappointed. My sons felt it was the highlight of our visit. Even though it was rainy and cold. The salmon chowder at lunch was excellent.

Bring a raincoat! It poured the entire trip and was very cold. Still, the trip was great! Our captain gave informative commentary the entire trip. We saw goats, otters, and even a black bear, awa many birds. The glaciers themselves were incredible
