Both the boat and the captain are former Bering Sea crab fishermen....as in "The Deadliest Catch." The captain spent $2.8 million to convert this boat into a floating amphitheater, complete with a "stage" at rail-side on which the crew haul various species of crab....and tell amazing stories of the their adventures (and misadventures) at sea. An added bonus is the... More

This was my last excursion during my Alaskan Cruise and I can truly say that it was the best & most enjoyable thing I did! I couldn't talk my mother into going with me, so I went along all by myself. The Aleutian Ballad crew, especially Captain Derek, were all so welcoming and friendly--they made sure that everyone had a... More

Brings not only the beautiful area and the Bering Sea into the light, but also brings the Discovery Channel show "Deadliest Catch" alive!!!! More

As seen on the TV show the Deadliest Catch, you get to ride aboard a converted crab fisherman's boat and learn all about different types of sea life in the Alaskan waters as well as get up close and personal with a few.

Nice photo ops holding different varieties of crabs and... More

Our Captains and guides were fantastic, hilarious, and very informative. Some of my favorite pictures of our cruise came from this tour; Seeing the traps set... More

This tour was the highlight of our cruise to Alaska. It was extremely informative and with the crew all being experienced fishermen, you knew that what you heard was coming from people who had truly lived through the Bearing Sea. There were lots of stories, both tragic and funny, as well as a number of different types of fishing experience.... More

We booked this tour thru Carnival Cruise Lines on our Alaska Cruise in the Inner Passage. I was traveling with my husband, my 5 year old son and my mother, mid 60's. The crew, Terry, Captain Derrick and Brian and everyone was simply FANTASTIC!!! From the minute we stepped onto the boat, our attention was captivated by, not only the... More
