After quite a bit of study, we decided to do the 26 Glacier Cruise as our first cruise from Whittier, planning to take another if we missed something. This cruise covered everything, so we didn't take another Whittier cruise. Even though it was busy season, we were able to call and get decent tickets for the next day. We were... More

We had spent over three weeks on Denali and arriving in Anchorage found a few days free. I cant recall the deal but from a newspaper cutting we found a good value price and duly booked. We were tired so the day was perfect as it was so relaxing. The coach collected us from the town and the coach driver... More

The whole trip was well worth the money. We saw otters, sea lions and the glaciers were great. The food was good and the crew were very nice. It was well worth the price. a must see when in the area. More

Great boat, great crew, most amazing views from anywhere in the world! A bit pricy and the 5hours was just a little long, but definatley worth it! If you ever visit Alaska, this I's a MUST SEE! More

Even if you are prone to sea sickness, this boat is so calm I didn't see anyone looking queasy. We went on a rainy day at the end of the tourist season so the ship was only half full. Even so, the deck became full whenever we were near a glacier, but there was lots of time at each spot... More

'Inside Cruise' from Vancouver to Whittier, Alaska on Island Princess. Sept 7 -14 2011. Great accommodation, wonderful food and excellent service. Glacier Bay was an awesome experience which was "the icing on the cake" for the week's cruise. Too much beautiful scenery to describe here. Must take is a camera and comfortable walking shoes if you plan to take some... More

Although a bit pricey, I felt like I got my money's worth. The boat was comfortable, and the lunch OK. I hate to use this word, but the scenery and the up close views of the glaciers were truly "awsome". There's no other way to see glaciers like this. More

Phillips Tours does an incredible job .... the 26 Glaciers in Prince William Sound is an amazing time. It is a relaxing day to travel from Anchorage making a few stops. Do not miss the time for the tunnel. It is about a 45 minute window. Do not be late or you will miss your cruise....one way in and one... More

We really enjoyed this cruise even though it was raining heavily when we boarded the boat. The scenery was spectacular, we saw many beautiful glaciers and some wildlife. The fish lunch was good and warm cookies were served near the end of the cruise. Other items such as hot dogs and nachos are available for purchase. The commentary by the... More

There are lots of day cruises to take in Alaska and this is the one we chose. How does it rate against the others? Who knows. I've got nothing to compare it to. The pluses for this one: 1) Whittier - how cool is this little town? You can only get to it by boat or by driving through a... More
