An Unforgettable Journey Through Alaska's Majestic Waters with Stan Stephens Glacier & Wildlife Cruises - Wow, what a day! Our 6-hour cruise to Columbia Glacier with Stan Stephens was amazing from start to finish. The vessel was comfortable and well-maintained, offering panoramic views from the open deck and inside the cabin. The journey was a feast for the soul, graced with the astonishing beauty of Prince William Sound's turquoise waters and, of course, the grandeur of Columbia Glacier. We were fortunate to witness a tapestry of Alaskan wildlife. From the playful antics of sea otters and Dall’s porpoises to the majesty of humpback whales and bald eagles, each sighting felt like a gift. Not to forget the highlight—encountering numerous Steller sea lions lounging on an island, seemingly as interested in us as we were in them. Our captain and the crew were efficient and deeply knowledgeable, sharing intriguing facts and stories that enriched the experience. If you're planning an Alaska trip and considering a cruise, add Columbia Glacier to your 'must-visit' list and book with Stan Stephens Glacier & Wildlife Cruises.

Highly recommend - Very good excursion. Professional crew. Light lunch is included. When I saw the big catamaran compared to the competition I knew we picked the right company. Highly recommend.

Inspiring trip to an eighties glacier with lots to see along the way, both vegetation and animals - Beautiful views, saw many animals (eagles, orcas, sea lions, sea otters, a black bear) and received a lot of information about these animals when they came into view. Active search by captain. Nice crew.

Glacier trip - Was a nice way to spend the day. The baot was clean and provided viewing everywhere. Bring snacks. Good trip.

Glaciers, wildlife, wilderness beauty and a nice lunch! - The whole cruise was a delightful experience! The captain and crew were great! Lunch was good...the clam chowder was served hot with a lightly toasted bagel.

A trip thru beautiful nature - It was a very nice trip the crew treated us very good. Seen lots of beautiful scenery & some of the wild life. The captain was very friendly and knowledgeable about what were seeing. It was just a pleasant trip just remember to bring some sort of jacket it does get cold out on the water. I would take this trip again I enjoyed it

Simple and small boat but very clean and all the best people. The only thing I would remove are the stores that do not - Eduardo from guess service, excellent. Very cold medical service and the guy who served us at dinners was the best of the best..

Good company - A magnificent glacier that the boat seeks to approach as closely as possible through a maze of small icebergs. Each time we come across an animal, the boat stops and while listening to the comments, we have plenty of time to take photos. On the way back, dinner is served to you. It's easy to park near the pier.

I booked through Viator... - I booked through Viator and got a 10% discount. They even let me cancel one reservation with a full refund just 1 day before the trip.

Must do!! - Lived in Alaska my whole life, been to Valdez a a few times. But never have done this tour! Well worth it. The captain is great very knowledgeable. The boat is super safe plenty of space to roam. The lunch is ok but also effective for the environment. And pretty good. Plenty of whole life along the way and just an impressive trip!
