This tour was wonderful! The captain and crew were very helpful and friendly. The cruise itself was beautiful. We saw lots of wildlife including a Whale. And a very close up view of a Glacier. I would tell you not to miss this opportunity if you have the opportunity

Took the trip on the 4th of July. Weather cooperated ( a bonus when in Alaska) and the crew was really wonderful. The entire trip was well choreographed and executed. The soup lunch was just right and at the right time, the sightseeing is spectacular, the fauna showed up on cue and the boat is clean, comfortable and well run. Our guests were ecstatic. I am cheap and hate to spend money, but this was worth it.
