About Discovery Voyages

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.

Discovery Voyager 5 Day Cruise The Discovery cruise was majestic - even with 3 days of rain! Captain Dean and his co-captain/chef/wife Meg, along with crew team Tori and Tyler, were amazing guides and stewards of Prince William Sound, knowledgeable, super helpful and always cheerful. Accommodations were tidy and comfy and Meg’s meals were outstanding. Really enjoyed the small group of passengers too.

Must do small adventure cruise Our family of seven wanted an adventure where we could get as close as possible to Alaskan flora and fauna while still enjoying the delights of a hot shower, a warm bed and gourmet food and wine. Meg and Dean of Discovery Voyages deliver this and so much more. Days were spent kayaking up to the face of a calving glacier, hiking along bear trails picking blueberries and salmonberries - sometimes on a whim to find a lake that Dean may have hiked to 10 or more years ago - and traversing extraordinary terrain in search of the picture perfect views. Meg produced the most beautiful meals out of her tiny galley - so much fresh food complimented by a wonderful array of wines (and beers). Highly recommended for those who want experience nature first hand without the crowds with a touch of luxury.

Fabulous experience! The small boat enabled us to get very close to all types of wildlife and scenery. The crew was fantastic, very knowledgeable and accommodating. We felt like we were in a five star hotel. Once in a lifetime experience, but would I do it again, you bet!

I enjoyed the guides and was very… I enjoyed the guides and was very impressed with the amount of information they gave us. The food was wonderful. My only complaint was that we were not told that the Orca and wales were only seen in early spring. I may have booked an earlier trip had I known that. Perhaps you could inform people what animals they are most likely to see depending on the time of year.

42 bears and nobody got eaten! Great trip to show my adult kids how spectacular Alaska is. A little rain did not deter us from lots of exploring. Food top notch as always. Thanks so much!!!
