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.

Amazing Voyage! We can’t say enough about how amazing the trip was on the Discovery. The scenery and wildlife speaks for itself but the added knowledge and history of the area brought to life by Captain Dean and the crew, Hugh and Phyllis made it so much more memorable. Meg’s cooking was amazing!! Every meal and snack was delectable. We definitely will recommend this trip to anyone and everyone and hope to be back ourselves someday.

We had a great time We had a great time! The staff was helpful, informative, kind and fun to spend time with. The places we went were all beautiful and we could spend as much time as we wanted at each location. The food was all yummy and plentiful. Megan was also working hard to make special meals for food allergy guests. I was apprehensive of a shared bathroom but it was not an issue at all. We met some really great people and made some great memories Thank you Dean, Megan, Matt and Hugh for taking such great care of us.

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

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.
