Best thing we did in Anchorage. Beautiful views, great staff! Everything was terrific. The glaciers were magnificent
Very friendly, relaxing cruise with great views and comfortable accomodations. Crew very friendly courteous and professional.
We saw a lot of glaciers and the crew explained about the different types. The catamaran was very comfortable and the chowder was tasty. When you’re out on the deck it can be very cold Angie day.
Great and inspirational cruise . Highly recommended it, but situation with bus, when our driver needed to drop everyone in a different direction did it a little be spoiled)
Wear warm clothes and hat and gloves. Bring a portable phone charger. It’s a fantastic trip not to be missed!

Those are all great recommendations and we couldn't have said it better ourselves. Thank you for your review and we hope to welcome you back soon.
Outstanding cruise to see glacier,great commentary by captain during the trip.Would recommend bringing your own lunch,provided food inadequate,didn’t receive julienne veg salad as advertised.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for joining us and for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the glaciers and the captain’s commentary. We’re sorry the included lunch did not meet your expectations. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention because we need to find the piece of collateral that lists the julienne salad as this was our first season not having it as a part of the meal. Thank you!
Everything was so amazing. The views, glaciers, sea lions and sea otters felt like being in a post card. Stunning views, worth every dollar.

Thank you for letting us be your guide to Prince William Sound!
As advertised. The one thing is offering a second option for those who don't like seafood. Chicken soup or something similar.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for that feedback and your review. We will certainly discuss this with our team at our end of season meeting.
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.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
The sound of calving glaciers truly is an experience that stays with you. We greatly appreciate your review and for giving us the opportunity to be your guide to Prince William Sound and everything it has to offer.
Good information. Captain narrated throughout cruise and pointed out viewpoints of animals and glaciers. Crew were friendly. Pleasant experience! I highly recommend this cruise!
Response from Host, Jul 2026

Bus and driver were very good too.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We will be sure to let our crew and bus transportation partners know!
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.

Ruby, your recommendation means so much to us. Thank you for your review!
It was worth it in spite of it being cold & rainy. We still stepped out to take pictures & enjoy the view
Response from Host, Jul 2026

Very well organized and planned tour. Recommend to people reaching anchorage and wittier. Family friendly
Response from Host, Jul 2026
As an Alaska family owned business we are so happy to hear that your family enjoyed exploring Prince William Sound with us. Thank you!
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!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Recommendations from our guests are the highest compliment we can receive and we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your feedback and review.
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.
The tour was wonderful! Fantastic & educational staff, absolutely spectacular views of the glaciers, eagles, sea otters, seals and moose!
Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your recommendation and joining on the 26 Glacier Cruise!
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.
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!
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
A guest's recommendation is the highest compliment we can receive. Thank you for your review and feedback. We are so happy to hear your daughter was able to capture some great photos and the fresh air of Prince William Sound truly is something to experience. Thank you!
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.
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
