The only way to really experience Prince William Sound
One of the best trips of my life. Five days aboard Discovery exceeded all expectations in terms of the scenery, wildlife, hikes, food and good company. Meg and Dean are fantastic hosts. Booking the trip was easy. Days onboard the Discovery were filled with anticipation and excitement as we sailed around coves, spotting wildlife and calving glaciers. Discovery is a small boat. Sleeping quarters are compact but comfortable. Bathrooms, saloon, galley, and deck areas are immaculate. The meals prepared by Meg were outstanding. Life onboard was a lot of fun. Dean was an excellent skipper and hiking guide.If you are after a unique experience and are a little adventurous, you will have a brilliant time on Discovery. Book earlier in the season if you can to try and catch the best weather. Pack lightly and remember to bring your camera!

Awe Inspiring Alaska
The crew, food and adventures were first class. Well organized and safety was always the first consideration. Hugh our guide was full of information and stories not only about the animals, birds, geology but also the politics and history of Alaska. Very knowledgeable as was Captain Dean.

The best of vacations
The weather could have been better but hardly noticed with all the great activities carefully planned out and executed by our captains and crew surrounded by captivating scenery. First class in every way including outstanding meals prepared fresh throughout each day by Megan. A truly enjoyable vacation.

It was great getting to see the Prince William Sound so close up, meeting new friends, and getting to see Dean again after all these years.

We had a great5 days on this charming boat. I was sorry not to see more of the sound where we could see whales but the weather was against us. The walking and canoeing were highlights. My lasting memory was the delicious food Meg spoilt us with!

Trip of a lifetime
Trip of a lifetime. Even with rainy weather, this trip was one of the most beautiful excursions ever. The food was incredible. I cannot compliment Meg enough on her perfect planning and preparation of the meals. Being on a tiny boat with a limited number of passengers allows for an intimate Alaska experience. Hugh was an incredible guide. Dean, Hugh and Meg were all extremely knowledgeable on all topics "Alaska". I hope to do another Discovery Voyage trip in the future.

This trip was amazing. The ship was the perfect size to allow us to meet the other passengers. The scenery in Prince William Sound is awesome. The glaciers calving was great to see up close. The food was excellent and varied. The knowledge of Captain Dean is unmatched. The trip exceeded our expectations.

This was a remarkable
This was a remarkable, almost transcendent experience! Dean and Meg were both wonderful and immensely knowledgable and kind, as were our guides, Matt and Anna. I loved every aspect of this trip, and the experience of the sound, the wildlife, the silence, and the wondrousness of it all will live forever within me. And Meg was magical with the food! My only request would have been a few more vegetarian choices, thought the salads were great.
Julia Davies
One of our best travel experiences
Genuine hospitality from the moment you step on the Discovery; the hiking, kayaking, and exploring are immersive and educational; an environment of acceptance, laughter, and no expectation of expert ability; the highest quality meals and equipment are provided. We would love to go again!

Amazing Trip in Prince William Sound
Dean, Megan, and Julia were fantastic. Everything was top notch. The food was great and the activities were well planned. They were all very knowledgeable and willing to share it. We would recommend them to anyone that is looking for a truly unique and memorable experience.

Outstanding in Three Ways!
Captain Dean, Chef Meg and the entire crew are amazing, and are totally dedicated to an excellent guest experience. In cozy comfort and safety, they take you to see some of the most spectacular views on the planet. In addition, they provide a variety of activities, from hiking to kayaking to glacier watching (it's an active sport) to immerse you (sometimes literally) in the essence of Prince William Sound. Their knowledge of and experience in these waters made the adventure a valuable learning experience for all, from our 69-year-old grandpa to his 10-year-old granddaughter (both of whom took the 44 degree plunge!)

Amazing experience!
My husband and I, along with our son, daughter-in-law and 4 grandkids went on this incredible adventure! Dean and Meg, the owners, with Julia as assistant and guide, showed us amazing glaciers, waterfalls and wildlife of all kinds. We hiked, kayaked and saw/heard glaciers calving. The food was wonderful and Meg is an amazing chef! We went for 3 days, but would recommend longer if you have the time. Boating out into the sound takes time, so on a longer trip, there is more time to see/do things.

Just an amazing experience

Trip of a Lifetime!
As you have read in most of the reviews it truly is the trip of a lifetime and such an amazing way to see Prince William Sound. The expertise of the Captain and crew is so reassuring as you know are then hands of expertise that knows the area, weather and how to plan the best activities along the way. The food was amazing and the family just loved it. Even my 17 year old son who really is not an outdoorsman or had any desire to go on the trip ended up begrudgingly loving it. I am so happy we did this and would recommend it to anyone.

Amazing Trip!
Our trip with Discovery Voyages was amazing. The sturdy, 65 foot, steel hulled boat allowed us to go into Fjords on Prince Williams Sound that other boats could not access. We were in waters surrounded by giant ice bergs, sea otters and panoramic views of the glaciers. Food was incredible and Dean (Captain), Megan (Gourmet cook), Julia and Katie (Crew) shared their knowledge of the Prince William Sound. Highly recommend this trip.
