This was really the trip of a lifetime! We loved every minute of the trip. The boat was really comfortable and well-appointed. The crew was so friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They really went all out to make sure our trip was fantastic, and the food was amazing! We had really hoped to see a lot of wildlife and we were not disappointed. We saw whales, bears, otters, seals, sea lions, mountain goats, and too many sea bird species to mention (but the Puffins were really the stars). The glacier viewing was so much more than what we had expected. We went on wonderful hikes and kayaking adventures. We got great pictures and wonderful memories. We highly recommend Discovery Voyages!

I wish I could give more stars. This absolutely superb small boat adventure of Prince William Sound was the trip of a lifetime. I cannot recommend it highly enough. My daughter Sophie and I travel annually and this was our BEST. TRIP. EVER. The staff were brimming with knowledge, helpful, sensitive and all we could possibly imagine. The food was, every day and every meal, 5 star - local fare, interesting, simply delicious. Kayaking up to the glaciers, and seeing the abundance of wildlife exceeded my expectations. Be aware, as you would expect, that the accommodations are certainly "cozy" and 3 cabins share a bathroom. Pack your woolies (including wool hat, gaiter and good winter waterproof gloves). The rain gear and boots that were provided were perfect for the Alaska weather. I would repeat this trip in a heartbeat. Thank you Dean, Megan, Julie and Kate!

Fabulous 6 day, 5 night cruise. Loved all the glacier viewing from the boat. Dinner next to a glacier was such a beautiful & peaceful experience. Loved the kayaking amongst the ice pieces, would have liked to have kayaked more. Food and guides/crew were amazing. Lots of knowledge about the area and the wildlife in Prince William Sound. I have already recommended to a friend.

We felt complete confidence in the captains and crew from day one: their experience on land and sea, their constant *joy* in being available to us for any questions (on wildlife, geology, history, technology) and loved hearing captivating personal stories. Yet! we were free to indulge in bird watching, otter spotting, and a few black bear sightings at a safe distance. We enjoyed conversations w/our travel mates - we made fast friends, loved everyone! The meals were all unique, beautiful and delicious!! Every inch was comfortably cozy. I feared claustrophobia, but instead I felt free and safe at every moment outdoors and on board. I was relaxed even in my little bunkbed hearing the thunder of a calving glacier.

Exceptional experience including wildlife watching of otters, whales, bald eagles, hiking, kayaking in Prince-William sound. Afterwards incredible encounters with coastal brown bears (Grizzly) at Silver Salmon lake.

Discovery Voyages exceeded expectations on many levels. The crew members were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding at every meal. Switching from the Discovery to Silver Salmon Creek Lodge was seamless and accommodations in Anchorage were very nice. Loved the small group experience!

Once in a lifetime experience! Captain Dean, Chef Meg, Guides Julia, and Katie made the experience superb. Gourmet cuisine, adventurous hiking, glorious kayaking and animal sightings were among just a few of the highlights! The overnight stops superb!!! The accommodations in Anchorage were also a plus. Kudos to the crew, can’t say near enough.

The captain, the crew, the guides, the boat, the food are all as good as it gets. You will see and do things the average visitor does not get to do. if you are interested in Alaska you will learn more than you thought possible.
