Frommer's Review
This company operates a smaller, 149-passenger vessel at a slower pace than Phillips -- they hit a mere 10 glaciers, but spend more time waiting for them to calve. Another important feature: The tour is narrated by a Chugach National Forest ranger, not the company. The route goes up Blackstone Bay. The boat is comfortable, with reserved table seating. They put emphasis on their food, which costs extra; the salmon and prime rib buffet is $15 for adults, $7 for children. It's quite good. Time on the water is 5 hours.
Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
