Incredible experience
Everything about this trip was above expectations. The crew was incredible and the experience has become a lifelong memory.

Offering high quality 3 - 6 day cruises with a maximum of 12 guests on the historic Discovery in beautiful Prince William Sound, Alaska (just south of the largest Alaskan city, Anchorage). We do offer a handful of trips that incorporate Denali National Park as well. Prince William Sound encompasses 3,800 miles of coastline to explore via kayak and foot. The Sound is home to the densest concentration of tidewater glaciers in the world, containing 50 glaciers and 17 tidewater glaciers (touching the ocean), known for dramatically calving huge ice chunks into the sea. Enjoy spectacular views from sea level up to 13,000 ft mountain peaks. More than 220 species of birds (and around 200,000 seabirds summer in the Sound), along with 30 species of land mammals, and at least a dozen marine mammal species make this area quite special. Resident marine mammals include humpback, sei, fin, minke, killer whales, and dall's porpoise as well as Steller sea lions, harbor seals, and sea otters. In western Prince William Sound, black bears may be seen on narrow beaches and are most often seen fishing when the salmon are spawning.

It's hard to go wrong visiting Prince William Sound, but with the knowledgeable staff of the Discovery our trip was epic! The entire staff is friendly kind and generous with their time and knowledgeable of the area and the wildlife that inhabits it! They do a great job of balancing downtime and exciting activities for the perfect vacation. The food was amazing.

We loved the entire experience! Beautiful glaciers, wonderful hiking and fun kayaking. Captain Dean’s knowledge of Prince William Sound was phenomenal and his stories were engaging. Fantastic meals and knowledgeable and friendly guides. A 5 star trip!

It has been 10 months since our trip and I remember every detail wonderfully vividly. We came to holiday in Alaska via a convoluted turn of events, and discovering Discovery Voyages seemed almost too good to be true. The reality was every bit as good as we hoped. The boat and cabins are comfortable and just as described, and the catering is terrific. The views are spectacular if you just wish to cruise but there are plenty of off-boat activities available too. Megan and Dean are highly professional but also approachable, their guides are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and you really feel the passion they all have for the environment in which they live and work. Put yourself in their care and they will show you the best Prince William Sound has to offer. I would go back tomorrow if I could, and book an even longer trip.

This was by far the most amazing trip I have ever taken. I could have listened to Captain Dean all day. His knowledge of the area, going back decades, was absolutely fascinating. The entire crew was able to pivot and change course as the weather or other factors changed. The food was stelar. I am so happy that I was able to buy Meg's cookbook.

Capt. Dean and his crew know how to make an adventure fun and wonderful, no matter the weather! They are always welcoming, work to make us comfortable, and find the best places to be in Prince William Sound for each moment. Capt. Dean is always willing to share his vast historic and nature knowledge, which adds to the experience.

Our trip on Discovery, Sept 4-8, 2024 was wonderful. Dean, Meg, Hugh Rose, and Jocelyn took great care of us, and were always sharing their knowledge of Prince William Sound and making sure that we saw and learned about the wildlife there. The three shore excursions and kayaking very near Surprise Glacier were great. All of Meg's meals were delicious. Dean and crew obviously care a great deal about Prince William Sound, and they spare no effort to make sure that their passengers have a wonderful time there. I highly recommend Discovery Voyages.

It was a great trip and great crew, in spite of not great weather we found plenty to do and took advantage of any weather breaks to get outside. Great food, comfortable lodging and very knowledgeable guides. Would highly recommend to others. Exceeded all expectations!
