Our boy’s school went on a field trip with Major Marine Tours. We all had a great time. The boat crew was the best. For a trip report of our adventure copy and paste: http://tinyurl.com/7ep66ee More

Our reservations to Anchorage included a day trip to Whittier, Ak on a Major Marine Prince William Sound Dinner Cruise, do prepare to dress, dress in layers. This was a outstanding Day, the drive to Whittier was spectular and when talking of the scenery - so many words but Breathtaking is at the top! Take lots of Pictures -we did!... More

We really enjoyed this excursion. We were so lucky with the weather as it was blue skies and sunshine the whole day (in our two weeks vacation in Alaska it didn't rain - how lucky were we??) I suffer from sea sickness and was told that this would be a smooth sail - which it was. We sailed on Sept... More

Going through the tunnel was pretty neat. We boarded our... More

When they spotted seals on one side of the boat, for example, they circled them so passengers sitting on the other side got a window view. After harvesting live shrimp from an underwater cage, the ranger moved them to a pail and carried the pail around so anyone who... More

When we started on the cruise, it was actually hot and sunny out, so everyone was warm, and when we first got on, I felt like there were too many people crammed together on the boat. However, we went up top where there was a breeze and kept cool that way until the cruise got going. Then things cooled off.... More

We took the Major Marine glacier cruise to Blackstone Bay and purchased the Salmon dinner also. Great value with 2 for 1 coupon in Northern Lights book. Captain spent plenty of time next to Glacier to optimize views of calving. Park service representative on board very informative and made sure we saw the wildlife she identified. Food was delicious for... More
