See and hear more underwater action with the hydrophone and underwater camera.

A week in misty wet paradise
Loved being on the last trip of the season - had lots of alterations to the itinerary that made the trip even more enjoyable. Positively great to see LeConte glacier and to kayak in "God's Pocket". Certainly a trip of a lifetime. Thanks for the great memories.

This cruise was everything we hoped for and more!
Our overall experience was excellent! Seeing glaciers up close was amazing! Choosing a small boat experience was absolutely the way to go. We actually had the opportunity to get to know the other passengers, and made some wonderful friends.

The Wilderness Discoverer takes you to the heart of coastal Alaska.
We loved the get out and enjoy spirit of the cruise and the support of the crew who made it possible in a safe way. It was great to have levels of physical challenges offered. All the accommodation niceties were there but in a way that encouraged moderation. It’s hard to pick one highlight out of an exceptional week. The kayak tours, glacier, whales, and ecomeander are now great memories. Thank you!

Small boat cruise. The only way to go
Incredible experience. Loved the two days in Glacier Bay. That is why we picked this cruise.
- Recommended for
- Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, from kitchen staff to guides, all were awesome. Loved the extracurricular activities. Could sit around on the boat if you wanted to, but plenty of things to do outside.. Loved the small boat experience, being able to get to places the floating hotels could not.

A great way to see the beauty of the inland waterway and glacers
The friendliness of the staff was excellent. We also met a great group of fellow sailing people.
- Recommended for
- Everyone on the crew was first class. The ship was in excellent condition. Flexibility of where to anchor when some of the glaciers were not reachable because of ice flows..
