Stan Stephens Glacier & Wildlife Cruises
When traveling with Stan Stephens Glacier & Wildlife Cruises you will be traveling with the local experts who have been operating in Prince William Sound since 1971. Our captains have an average of 25 years of experience, and all of our staff are Alaskan residents anxious to share the culture, land and wildlife that make us proud to call Prince William Sound our home.
Spectacular Glaciers
With multiple departures daily, Stan Stephens Cruises offers travelers the chance to choose their ideal tour of eastern Prince William Sound. Our 6 hour journey features a visit to the Columbia Glacier area where you have a chance to view history in the making as Columbia Glacier retreats back into the Chugach Mountains. If you have more time to explore, our 8.5 hour tour to Meares Glacier Excursion will take you to the face of an advancing glacier.
Complete Tours Featuring Glaciers, Wildlife, and History
We offer more than just a glacier cruise – we take the time to share ALL of Prince William Sound! With Stan Stephens Cruises you can see amazing wildlife; whales, sea lions, puffins, seals, sea otters, eagles, goats, bears and more. We will inform you with stories of the Sound including early exploration, gold and copper mining, oil shipping, commercial fishing and the 1964 Earthquake
Superior Comfort and Service during your Cruise
On board a Stan Stephens Cruise you will receive the best customer service available on a day cruise in Alaska. All tours include complimentary meals, coffee, tea, and lemonade. In addition a small snack bar is found on each vessel. You will enjoy your meal with gusto, because the waters of eastern Prince William Sound are known as some of the calmest in Alaska.
If your travel in Alaska includes a visit to Valdez, we hope you will consider a glacier and wildlife cruise of beautiful Prince William Sound! Tours are offered mid-May to mid-September.
