We stayed at the Best Western so Stan's is right outside the door. We checked around and this was what seemed the best for our $ and our schedule. We were not disappointed. Boarding was easy, The boat is very spacious and comfortable. We hung out on the upper aft deck, but you could remain inside warm and toasty too. The captain ran the microphone and was very knowledgable telling us everything about and along our trip. She found just about everything as far as beauty and wildlife. Got close for great photos. Warm lunch and pm soups were just perfect. There was no hassle for seats, room, bathrooms etc. Saw some calving of the glacier as well. Excellent all around.

The Stan Stephens cruise was a first class trip! We have been on several other day trips of this type and this one was the best. The ship was immaculate. The Captain was personable, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we saw all the wildlife he could find and for as long as we wanted to look. There was no hurry at the face of the glacier as we watched for it to calve. During the trip we saw eagles, a humpback whale, rafts of sea otters, stellar sea lions, schools of silver salmon, a bear, puffins, a blue heron, other birds. The captain also shared all types of knowledge about the area and its history. I highly recommend this trip.
