    Unique Way to Experience a Special Place in Alaska

    Alma_D, Sep 2025
    The Tracy Arm Fjord cruise was simple an awesome adventure! The Captain and crew were very, very knowledgeable about the geological and environmental aspects of the area. I learned so much. They made a little detour and took us to the North Sawyer glacier. They even fished out of the water a small chunk of iceberg for us to see and broke it up a bit to add to our drinks. They stopped along the way to view the humpback's feeding in the waters. Can’t forget seeing four flukes in succession diving under one after another. We were the only ones out in that stretch of water which made it very special and unique.

    Very good tour, the fjord...

    Very good tour, the fjord is impressive and really worth the trip. Moreover we were the first ship to get there after to 100-foot tsunami that happened on 10 August

    Great Tour !

    The tour to the Glacier is a must do in Juneau. Our tour hosts were awesome. We even took a small detour to potentially catch sight of the whales. Highly recommend !!

    Enlightening Tracy fiord experience!

    Phil_B, Jun 2025
    It was enlightening and a superb long experience as we saw four glaciers and experienced the fiord. Whales, small icebergs and more. Breathtaking experience. Very expensive but worth it.
