Fantastic views up close of the glacier watching it break off and listening to the sounds it makes when it hits the water...was the highlight! Saw seals, otters, and bears.

Prince of sound was an exceptional experience. Our driver was very helpful, knowledgeable and patient. Tour bus to Whittier was very nice and clean.
Cruise was highly enjoyable. It was a 5+ hours cruise but time went by quickly. It was raining most of the day but Captain of the cruise made it highly enjoyable. He stopped at various places when he saw wildlife. Highlight of the trip was sea otters, birds, water falls, bears and the glaciers.
Cruise staff were excellent. Lunch was part of the offering and was delicious.
We were pleasantly surprised to see specialized drinks as options for our caffeine and alcohol intake.
I highly recommend this trip.

Easy pickup and delivery to the port. Driver was knowledgeable and talkative.
Crew on the boat was very knowledgeable and the food was good. It rained the whole time so the heater could have been set just a tad warmer given that everyone was wet.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you, Susan. That is great feedback and we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your feedback and for giving us this opportunity to improve our guest experience.

This is a MUST tour when visiting Anchorage. Saw humpback whales, sea lions, sea otters! We witnessed 3 calving from the Hubbard glacier. WHAT AN AMAZING tour! Highly recommend!

Edward_H, Jul 2026
The cruise was wonderful and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting.
My problem not rating this 5 stars was about our trip’s experience with the bus driver Steve. While he was well experienced in give us great facts, He spent too much time talking about his personal life, name dropping on how he personally knows everyone in Alaska, and about his and his family’s personal wealth and success! On another note, I was concerned that he drove this enormous bus using only 1 hand.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your constructive feedback and making us aware of your concerns and experience. We will be sure to let our transportation partner that operates our motorcoach service know of your comments. Thank you again for your review and your recommendation.
Martha_F, Jul 2026

This was a great experience. The tunnel was unexpected and fascinating. So much to see. The only extra advise I would give…. The weather is unexpected, so dress warmer than you think. Bring snacks, and binoculars!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Alaskans sometimes describe it as dressing like an onion. Lots of layers! Thank you so much for your review, advice on how best to experience our glacier cruise, and for choosing Phillips Cruises & Tours.
susan_s, Jun 2026
This was a great excursion. It was warm inside of the cabin, even though it was cold outside and rainy. We were able to go out at certain points and get a better view and better photographs. The captain and the crew were wonderful. This is a must do tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Your review and recommendation mean a lot to all of us here at Phillips Cruises & Tours. Thank you, Susan, for letting us be a part of your Alaska adventure!
Caitlin_J, Jun 2026
I had high expectations for this experience, but it was even better than I expected. I took the coach round trip from Anchorage and the 5-hour cruise. Our assigned seats on MV Bravest had a great view, so my daughter opted to spend most of the day there (and got great pictures!). I went out on deck often, and I loved the view and the fresh air.
The hot meal (ours were vegetarian) and the coffee / tea service kept us very comfortable. The bathrooms were sparkling clean, the captain and crew informative, and the wildlife and glaciers very cooperative. :)
Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2026

Sharon_S, May 2026
A very fun and informative tour. The captain was able to get us within a quarter mile of the Harvard glacier. The crew was so nice and also fun
Response from Host, May 2026
One of the best parts of our jobs is getting to have a front row seat to our guests experiencing Prince William Sound and getting to be face-to-face with the glaciers that call it home. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your feedback and hope to see you again in Whittier.
laura_s, May 2026
Bring a raincoat! It poured the entire trip and was very cold. Still, the trip was great! Our captain gave informative commentary the entire trip. We saw goats, otters, and even a black bear, awa many birds. The glaciers themselves were incredible
Response from Host, May 2026
