What a great day on the water! Ships are very well maintained and knowledgeable staff. Free coffee, water and lemonade. We had a great lunch served of chicken over rice. We were able to see great wild life from bears to whales and more. The Glacier was wonderful we were able to get very close to the face and was fantastic. On the cruise back we were served and nice bowl of clam chowder. One of the beat cruises I have been on in Alaska!

My husband and I had booked the Columbia Glacier cruise, but when arrived at our RV park the day prior to our departure we were told that there was mechanical trouble with the ship and we had been upgraded to the Meares Glacier tour at no cost to us. This was a longer tour with lunch and an afternoon snack. The cruise company picked us up in the morning and the check in was easy. The day was spectacular and the Captain was so informative and very accommodating in course changes, slowing, or stopping to give everyone a great view of wildlife and of course the gorgeous views. She made a short excursion into the bay of the Columbia Glacier which was littered with icebergs of various sizes. I later talked to a man who had gone on the Columbia Glacier tour the previous day and due to the number if icebergs they were unable to even get close enough to see the glacier. Climate change is very real! I would highly recommend this company and this tour.

Our tour group sailed with this company on Prince William Sound. What a wonderful experience! Coffee and hot chocolate were available. A hot lunch was served and we had a terrific time. We had a female captain and she and the staff knew their stuff. We saw lots of marine life, bald eagles and heard about the Exxon Valdez. This is a great company to travel with.
