Prince William Sound Glacier Tour - Whittier

Обзор
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.

Phillips 26 Glacier Cruise went beyond my family's expectations, and I would recommend it highly to anyone. Some context to my review: I lived in Alaska for 10 years and had seen (and walked on) glaciers in the past, but had never seen any tidewater glaciers. My wife, 6 year old son and I took this cruise while visiting family. Although I was really excited to do this cruise, my wife was thinking it was going to be too long for my son, and too much time on a boat for her. In the end, everyone had a really great time, and my wife was really glad we did it. My son was engaged almost the entire 4.5 hour cruise, with his interest flagging only at the very end. The boat itself was very clean, well maintained and comfortable; the staff friendly and professional. The fact that it was a high-speed catamaran meant that we had a smooth, stable ride and that we were able to make it far into Prince William Sound compared to competing tours of the same duration. On the other hand, the cruise still only included close viewing of only 2 tidewater glaciers, so not sure how much of an advantage that was. The wildlife that we saw on the cruise consisted almost entirely of sea otters (I would estimate easily over 100) and kittiwakes, but not much else. From some of the other reviews I read, that wasn't too surprising: If you want to see a lot of marine wildlife, I would recommend a cruise out of Seward (Kenai Fjords) instead. There were some really nice little touches such as free loaner binoculars, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, and margaritas made with glacier ice. The food was decent, though our expectations were pretty low, and it was nice to have a full bar. The park ranger narration was informative without being overly intrusive or annoying, and they had a 'junior ranger' program (consisted of doing some activities related to wildlife and the Chugach National forest, and getting a badge at the end of the cruise) which was nice for my son. (I assume the other cruises with rangers may be similar in this way.) There were some aspects of our positive experience that might not apply to everyone: First of all, the weather was very good on the day we went, which can make a huge difference. Secondly, the winds were such that College Fjord was relatively ice free, meaning that we made it farther up the fjord than they had been able to go all summer (according to the ranger). Finally, we went at the end of August, so the boat was only about 1/2 full. Could have been a very different experience if it was closer to capacity--not sure how much it fills up in peak of the season. One other note: The full adult fare at this writing was $139, but we got a coupon from an Alaskan relative for $40 off per adult, so look around for coupons or promotions before you book. All in all, a great experience.

This was the highlight of our July 2008 vacation! We took Phillips Cruises for this tour. The scenery is breathtaking, and we had the opportunity to view plenty of wildlife. The glaciers are absolutely amazing. As for the food served while on the cruise, it was adequate and much like we expected. It consisted of cod, chips, carrots with dip, applesauce, and a chocolate chip cookie. Water, tea, and coffee were complimentary. A drink and snack bar was also available. Taking a glacier cruise is something you don't want to miss doing!

Our cruise with Phillips (26glaciers.com) took place on May 24 Saturday. The weather was rainy with lots of fog and cloud. Your experience would vary greatly with weather. Just 5 days before we took the Kenai Fjord boat tour and it was abnormally sunny with no clouds in sight. It was a fabulous trip which I would gladly pay double the listed price. But the weather really spoiled the Prince William Sound cruise with Phillips. A lot of the glaciers were hidden in the clouds (not all of the 26 glaciers are tidewater). We saw maybe 10 in total. But nonetheless, you have to get on at least one boat tour during your trip, regardless of weather. There are 2 points I want other readers to be aware of: 1. Delayed tour: Our tour was scheduled to start at 1pm. We were advised to check in at 12pm and boarding would start at 12:30pm. But on that morning, Phillips was actually using its boat to do a tour for Princess cruise ship customers. And they obviously did not give enough time between the 2 tours, as the boat did not get back from the first tour until 12:30pm. And then we had to wait for those customers to dis-embark. We ended up waiting in the rain for half an hour (there is a little covered area for waiting, but the queue soon grew beyond the covered area). This is not fun if you are travelling with kids. Even adults grew restless as a good portion of them had waited since 12pm. Our tour boat did not leave dock until 1:15pm. 2. Local police: There is a municipal parking lot where you're supposed to park. After finishing the tour, I left the parking lot onto a small road, and then there is a stop sign where you make a left to turn onto the main road back to the tunnel. Note that this is not an all-way stop. So it is natural for anyone to stop at the intersection to make sure there are no cars from either directions on the main road. You just simply has to stop, unless you are drunk or want to get killed. I of course did the same - stopped and make sure there were no on-coming cars on the main road. But well, the local police apparently didn't think I stopped long enough. They pulled me off for not stopping at the stop sign. I was travelling with my parents, my wife and my 3 year old daughter, in a mini-van. So it's not like I'm some 20 year old punk on a loaded Camaro. But credit to them, they ended up just warning me and let me go. But this is just ridiculous because I did stop, but maybe the local police are looking for a full 3 second stop as if this is driving school or something.
