Excellent hikes, excellent kayaking (especially among the growlers and next to the waterfalls), superb food, wine glasses that were never empty, comfy quarters: it doesn’t get much better!

Very friendly, experienced staff made the voyage exceptionally enjoyable. The boat was gorgeous and very well equipped and cared for. the food was sensational. There was a lot of variety and the accompanying drinks were excellent. The small size meant we were able to enjoy the company of like minded travellers.

One of the best travel experiences ever. Exceptionally caring, knowledgeable, and competent staff who welcomed all of us as if long time friends. Fun and educational experiences and great food.,

One of the best trips we ever took....boat was cool, food was foodie quality, tours on land were adventurous. Service was a 10. But the midnight stars close enough to the glacier to hear the calving was extraordinary. Highly recommend over a cruise, kicks ____ over a hotel room!

Our time on the Discovery was the highlight of our visit to Alaska in May/June 2018. From Anchorage we went to the Port of Whittier on the Prince William Sound, which is largely a wilderness area. We boarded our small launch about lunch time, in time for hors d’ oeuvres before we headed off into the Sound. The Discovery had accommodation for 12 guests in 6 cabins, together with 4 crew. My wife was taken aback to find that we had to share the two bathrooms and sleep in bunks. In spite of all this we all rubbed along together well, and the chef feed us exceptionally well with meals also accompanied by an extensive range of wines. The procedure was to have two expeditions each day during our five days. This could involve kayaking along the face of a glacier in the broken pieces of ice, or a walk on a small island to see Beaver dams or other wildlife. One of the crew was a naturalist who accompanies tours to Antarctica as one of his contract activities. We really enjoyed it, but it does require a decent level of fitness to get the most from the daily activities.

Our first trip with Discovery was in 2011. It was such an amazing experience we began working on a second trip. Five out of the six couples were anxious to return and it did not disappoint. Boat is wonderful, scenery and wildlife are inspiring and the crew is beyond exceptional. If you are thinking about a tour with Discovery, don’t hesitate any longer.

We enjoyed our experience with Discovery voyages. We liked the opportunity to cruise the Prince William Sound with experienced staff and went kayaking and hiking in beautiful places. We discovered our love of Alaskan wilderness and hope to explore other places. The small boat offers more opportunities than a larger cruise boat would ever deliver.

This intimate small boat cruise captained by Dean and Meg was one of the most outstanding experiences I've ever had. They are extremely knowledgeable about Prince William Sound and planned a 5 day, 4 night cruise exactly catered to our desires. Amazing wildlife, lots of hiking and kayaking, and incredible gourmet meals. I highly recommend one group rents the entire boat for 12. The vacation of a lifetime!
