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.

Highly Recommended Our trip was outstanding. Dean, Megan, and the rest of the crew are very knowledgeable about the region and constantly monitor conditions to provide the best possible experience at any given time. We saw an array of wildlife and awe inspiring scenery. Being aboard the Discovery, a small vessel with a storied past, one feels immersed in, rather than removed from, the immediate environment. The crew is very attentive, and the food was fresh, creative, and delicious; beautifully presented and accompanied by a very nice selection of wine. If you're interested in an immersive experience with knowledgeable guides in an intimate setting I don't believe you can do better than a trip with Discovery Voyages.

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.

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.
