Itinéraire
Le glacier Columbia est le plus grand glacier du centre-sud de l'Alaska. Chaque jour, Columbia met bas environ 8 millions de tonnes de glace. En fonction de cet écoulement de glace, nous naviguerons dans les grandes bergs de glace en nous rapprochant aussi de la face de Columbia que la glace et la sécurité l'exigent.
Le détroit de Prince William est une partie protégée de l'océan dans laquelle nous naviguons. Il est riche en faune, en glacier, en magnifiques fjords sculptés par glacier et en histoire.
Stan Stephens Cruises organise des tournées à Prince William Sound depuis 50 ans.

Day was wet, some fog and cold. Saw sea lions, sea otters, killer whales and humpback whales. Captain was able to navigate through the ice flows to get us to the west three faces of the glacier. Was a very interesting and fun adventure. Would recommend it to all.
It was amazing in all aspects, where we went, what we saw, the friendliness and eagerness of the to assist was refreshing in this day and age. You will not be disappointed.
Amanda was an amazing captain! Best trip ever!! Highly recommended!
We couldn't see the Glacier because of the ice, but we saw ice burgs up close and personal before exploring other aspects of the area. It was amazing and we highly recommend it!
Fantastic tour of Wildlife and Prince William Sound, AK. Captain Kaleb was so knowledgeable in sharing information and pointed out wildlife.
If you want to experience Valdez and the ocean this is the trip to take. Beautiful views and relaxing boat ride. Chance to see glaciers and wildlife. We saw sea lions, sea otters and humpback whales.
The trip there was enjoyable and interesting but it got very long and tiring on the trip back. Just kind of a repeat of what we already saw, but not much you can do about that. It seems like the long trip through the ice to get to the glacier was a waste of time when the glacier was 7 miles away, anyway.The dinner, chicken, rice, and a vegetable was so-so.
Excellent experience. A bit cold at some points but you can go warm up inside and get some tea or coffee
We really enjoyed the comfortable seating and sound system of this newer boat. The tour was not full which made it easy to get around and get photos. The narration was excellent and the captain allowed plenty of time and patience at wildlife sightings and the glacier. There was plenty of staff and we enjoyed the clam chowder soup for lunch. All in all it was an excellent tour and we would highly recommend it.
It was great, wish we could of seen the bottom of the glacier. Check with them beforehand to see how much ice is in the water.
