Discovery Voyages Anmeldelser 

We had a fantastic time on Discovery Voyages. The captain is very knowledgable and made sure to take us to see local wildlife and excellent hiking opportunities even when the weather did not cooperate. Sea kayaking to a glacier was a highlight of our trip. The crew were excellent and all three meals each day were superb.

Late May 2024 we took our second trip on the Discovery and were thrilled again. This time it was spending more than an hour watching humpback whales “bubble feeding” and daily sightings of black bear grazing near the water. Prince William Sound was teeming with wild life on land and in the water. We kayaked and hiked most days despite cold and rain. In July 2016 the outstanding weather — meant less wildlife but more kayaking and hiking. Both trips inspired me to want to do it all over again. Going on the Discovery is like joining old friends in their home. Dean and Megan know the area well, answer questions, spot wildlife and seem as excited as the passengers. Dean’s knowledge of human, geological and natural history of the area is amazing. This trip featured the addition of crew member Hugh Rose whose knowledge of Alaska, whale migration and the impact of government policies on the region gave us a greater understanding of Alaska.
Megan is a gourmet cook who specializes in fresh local seafood dishes. Every meal was among the best I’ve ever had. They make a rustic trip with shared restrooms and tiny cabins feel like a luxury experience. If you’re looking for a five star hotel and spa this is not for you, but if you’re looking to be out in the wilds while being pampered this is your trip!

Excellent conversation, excellent views, excellent food. And the "little ship" was in magnificent condition. The captain and cook are so familiar with the territory, we felt we were in great hands from a safety perspective.

Only minor concern was during excursions, at least two crewmembers joined in: One was always in the lead (as expected) but the other didn't always stick close to the slowest participant. Delicate balance, since they didn't want the slowest to feel pressured, but that has to be balanced with safety. Perhaps "deputizing" one of the guests to patch this gap would be the right answer--pass an extra walkie talkie to the "deputy".

Voyage was beautiful and relaxing! Food was great and I loved that we had a choice on our activity level.

Super fun trip. Saw more sea lions, harbor seals, black-legged kittiwakes, sea otters, salmon, bears eating salmon, puffins, calving glaciers and stunning views (to name a few of the highlights) than ever before in my life, and I spend a lot of time in the wilds. The owners, Dean and Megan and their able and friendly guides are fountains of information on the local geology and wildlife. And they're nice people. I'd highly recommend this trip to any of my friends.

Great Crew!!, Great Boat!! Great Food!! Ease of schedule, magnificent views, wonderful wildlife. The very best experience in Alaska if not the entire North America.

Wonderful adventure with very knowledgeable guides, great food and surprising comfort. Also nice fellow travelers!

The captain, and crew were very knowledgeable about the area in general and about the fauna and flora. The chef was amazing. It was fun to see the wonder of Alaska, and to meet fellow travelers on this great adventure.

I could never imagine that a cruise could be that adventurous and comfortable at the same time. The crew took us kayaking/hiking to amazing spots, so we were never bored. Spending time on the boat was a wonderful experience itself: the cabins were not too small, the shower was surprisingly nice and most important, the food was DELICIOUS! Thank you, Discovery Voyage for the unforgettable trip!

Our trip on the Discovery for 5 days with our family & close friends was AMAZING! Dean, Meg & the crew take care of you start to finish. We were taken to amazing vistas & lead on hikes or in kayaks to bring those sights up close & personal. The food prepared was the best; meals and the cocktail hour allowed for time to visit & relive the adventures. At any minute we may slow down to check out otters, birds, seals,humpback whales - did I say “it was amazing”! The Discovery is the only way to see Prince William Sound - casual luxury. We loved it.

This was such an amazing trip!
An experience that I will treasure and vividly remember forever.
Kayaking, hiking, wildlife and gourmet food, oh my!

The entire crew was AMAZING!!!! So knowledgeable and able to translate that knowledge in easily accessible pieces. We had the best time learning and experiencing the Prince William Sound with the crew of Discovery Voyages.

Also, THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!!!!!

Amazing adventure, beautiful boat, chef-level meals, and wonderful crew. Scenery, wildlife, kayaking, hiking - literally memories of a lifetime for me and my family and good friends.

Once on a lifetime experience. Discovery voyages were the Ultimate Professionals in every way - education, customer service, food quality and presentation.

Overall, an amazing experience! Food was unforgettable and tasty. Scenery was unmatched. Rooms were small but you spend much more time upstairs enjoying the incredible views.

The staff amazing took care of my family and we enjoyed the cruise very much

Maybe someone was sick on the cruise because we came down with something a few days after.

The staff of Discovery Voyages treats your specific trip as the most special and wonderful in the world. The 4 people on the staff act in well oiled unison to support the best experience for every passenger. The Captain Dean Rand takes you to see everything including glaciers, wildlife, flowers and waterfalls. The Captain customizes each trip according to current weather conditions and time of year. All of the staff are knowledgeable about the history and beauty to be found on Prince William Sound. All meals are prepared with LOVE and are wholesome and delicious.

Fabulous scenery, great guides, delicious food. The trip was better than I had hoped for.

Everything was perfect. Great crew. Knowledgeable guide. Amazing food. Saw lots of wildlife and nature up close. The other passengers were pleasant to share the experience with. Highly recommend!!

Great experiences with a fabulous crew! And delicious food on board as a bonus. Want to come back!
