This day trip was the highlight of our time in Alaska. Being so close to so many glaciers in the boat was incredible! The boat was comfortable, the meal which was included in the price was tasty, and there were plenty of places on the boat to have great views of the glaciers (including from inside, through the windows.) Highly recommended by us, for sure.

The cruise and view were outstanding. The only thing I would hope Phillip cruises change is put the people who booked/paid early looking foward on the cruise. My wife and I always had to turn our heads or stand up to see what the guide was talking about.. I say this because when I called your office to ask if seats are reserved or first come basis, he told me that the person assigns seats by when it was booked. He told me I would get good seat selection because I was one of the first to book this cruise( made it in May for September). Thx for looking into my suggestion.

The "tour" has 2 parts, first a bus from downtown Anchorage to the cruise, if you can drive up to the location in Whittier, will be better, faster and cheaper, no one says anything in all the way or return (4 hours) and in the town they tell you, you have 1 hour to do whatever you want and there is absolutely nothing to do, there was just 1 coffee shop open. The cruise was very nice and the food was enough for the ride, impressive views, and landscapes that will always be in your mind.

The tour was well organized and time well managed. The cruise was amazing, well worth the money. The driver on the way over tried to provide some information but he really needs to work on correct pronunciation of places he is talking about and the flow of his narrative. He did stop at some great viewing points though. Overall I would recommend!

This was definitely a once in a lifetime type of trip! The views were amazingly breathtaking! The people were fabulous!

Staff was so knowledgeable and friendly! Bathrooms were what you would expect on a boat, not amazing. But the views, information, staff, and lunch was worth every penny. Had an amazing time even being solo.

This was an unforgettable day! We did take the bus to Whittier, it was nice to see the Turnagain Arm from a higher viewpoint. We had great visibility, as it was mostly sunny that day. We saw several massive glaciers and got very close to 2 of the larger ones. We were also the only larger boat out that day. We saw otters, eagles, seals, and a glimpse of a whale. There is no way way to adequately describe how large the glaciers are-but the trip was worth it. It was chilly out there, we were told we were lucky as many times they have squall like conditions. I had read to expect extreme weather, I took a backpack full of more clothes! So glad I didn't need them.

We did a bus transfer one way with glacier tour. The pickup at Hotel Captain Cook was confusing as there were many buses and NOBODY had signs, so like us, most people waiting for various buses had no idea. John the bus driver was a professional, friendly and safe driver. Thank-you ! He explained the procedure to get on the boat very well. We were able to leave our luggage (as we were one way since we were boarding a cruise the next day) in the office. If you do a one way transfer, please tell the driver as head office / reservations WILL NOT. Head office does NOT care about food issues or anything else you put in your reservation notes NOR do they answer emails so you must phone them. Seating on the boat is assigned similar to an airplane with table number plus a letter for your seat around the table. If reservations told people this there would be no panic and pushing and shoving to board the boat to get the best seat possible. I can book my seat on an airplane, sports stadium, and concerts so ……why not this tour. The boat tour was excellent with the boat stopping at all the spots and moving the boat around so all got excellent views of all glaciers. Hats off to the Captain and crew.

This was a long day cruise. The food was ok. WE eat gluten free so when they came around with cookies there was nothing for us. The food was ok. It was a rainy day when we went and they go rain or shine so no refund. We did see glaciers but nothing else really.

Amazing day! Drive to Whittier was great and the cruise was AMAZING! the captain and crew were lovely and helpful. The smoked salmon chowder was very good ( was skeptical). I also like how we had assigned seats - this meant we could move around and still have a place to sit/leave our bags. Weather was a bit iffy with rain but totally worth it!!

My wife and I had a tour booked with another company, to be picked up outside the Captain Cook Hotel. While waiting well past the time, we met Scott from this company. He made calls to his contacts trying to assist. After it seemed unlikely our company was coming, he offered to put us both on that days 26 Glaciers Tour for free. He didn’t want Alaska represented poorly to visitors. What an amazing and generous offer and positive attitude. In the end, our tour company showed up 90 minutes late, and their tour was ok, but I think we would have had a better experience on his tour. What an amazing experience offered to people that weren’t even his customers. Thank you Scott, the gesture was very much appreciated.

It was awesome. The view was beautiful and we saw sea otters, sea lions, bear and a pod of orca whales. What a great time. Well worth the money spent.

I had a short time to visit Alaska and see a few of the sights, and this was BY FAR the highlight of my trip. The crew was friendly and helpful, the captain was fantastic about making sure everyone on both sides of the ship saw the highlights, and the US Forest Service ranger was amazing and so knowledgeable. The glaciers themselves are indescribably beautiful, and must be seen to be believed. If you only have time to do one thing when you’re in Alaska, this is the one you shouldn’t miss.

We had an amazing day! The sky was clear and the glaciers spectacular. We saw orcas, sea otters, sea lions and many birds. Honestly the best day.

This is a wonderful trip! From the bus drive to Whittier, to getting onto the boat, it was a great excursion. The scenery is beautiful and the glaciers are very impressive. With the smaller ship, we go so much closer than you can with the large cruise ships. We've done Glacier Bay twice on Alaskan cruises and this was as impressive to us. It might have helped that we had beautiful weather as well.
