Wonderful Small Boat Cruise Great Boat and Crew. Loved the cruise a joyful week. The food was outstanding!! Would give 5 stars, but the expert nature/photographer Hugh, who they speak highly of, was unable to go on the trip last minute do to catching Covid. Disappointing to say the least, should have been credited back something for this loss to all participants.

The difference between five and four The difference between five and four, for me, is the changes made by having cruise ships in PWS.

Everything we hoped for and more We absolutely loved our time aboard the Discovery with the amazing and oh-so-knowledgeable crew. Dean and Megan make it special every waking moment. Megan is a fabulous chef and every meal was a treat! The cabins are cozy and perfectly adequate for the duration of the trip (not that we spent much time in them, other than to sleep!). We loved the activities every day, and we loved the beautiful spots they chose to moor each night. We went hiking to see bears fishing for salmon, and we went hiking to explore glaciers and take in gorgeous views; we kayaked among the ice bergs, sea otters and jellyfish; Dean took us to an island where we got to watch the puffins do their adorable and awkward dances; at another island we stopped to watch and listen to several hundred sea lions. We had fun losing count of how many eagles we saw each day. We loved spending time in front of one glacier after another, watching them calve, and learning about the history, geology and geography all the while. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime vacation for us (although we may very well be repeat customers)! Highly recommended, especially if you are fortunate enough to get on a voyage with Hugh, an outstanding and incredibly knowledgeable guide, not to mention a phenomenal photographer.

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!

Wonderful beyond my expectations Our Discovery voyage was wonderful beyond my high expectations. Dean, Megan, Hugh, and Matt are knowledgeable, friendly, and totally dedicated to helping their guests have fun and learn a lot. I had worried that having 12 passengers on a small boat with 2 bathrooms would be stressful, but nope: The boat and the activities are so well organized that it was relaxing, even peaceful sometimes. The Sound is an awe-inspiring place, and this voyage is a fantastic introduction. We kayaked and hiked, we saw glaciers and wildlife, and some of the best time was just hanging out on the boat. And of course the food is totally spectacular. At every single meal, three times a day.
