Prince William Sound Glacier Tour - Whittier

Overview

Phillips Cruises and Tours offers a unique and memorable way to view the beauty of the glaciers and wildlife of Prince William Sound in a pristine wilderness area. Conditions change daily due to weather, ice flows, and wildlife activity so our captains adapt to these changing conditions to provide the best cruise experience while keeping your safety and comfort a top priority. The crew is attentive throughout the cruise ensuring that your time with us is an enjoyable memory and a favorite highlight of your Alaska vacation.

Our tours are operated on first-class catamarans. Due to their dual hull design, these powerful high-speed catamarans are extremely stable and able to smoothly navigate through the narrow fjords and passages that lead us to the face of massive glaciers. By operating safely and efficiently, Phillips provides a comfortable cruise and our No-Seasickness Guarantee assures nervous cruisers the confidence that they will enjoy our cruise without any unpleasant effects.

We were on The Bravest. Lots of seating for viewing, large deck for viewing the glaciers. They only let you out on the deck when they stop for viewing animals or getting a better view of the glaciers and waterfalls. You can get a hotmeal on board. We took the tour covering College Fjord, Harman Fjord, Esther passage, and Blackstone. You get up close views of the glaciers and can see sea lions and lots of migratory birds. We did not see any whales or bears. Be certain to get to the tunnel with lots of time to spare around 10:30, because it is one way traffic on the hour.

We took the 26 glaciers tour. It was long but worth it because we got to see so much. The cruise ship was very comfortable and the crew was fantastic. We also enjoyed the meal that they served and there was ample room to move around freely on the ship. We had no issues with seasickness, which was one of our concerns.
