I'm currently on the cruise, and the experience hasn't met my expectations. There's a lot of queuing for everything, including breakfast and lunch. The waiting times and poor organization at the shore are frustrating. Right now in Geiranger, I've been waiting in the rain for half an hour just to get on the boat due to insufficient staff to manage access. The wait to board the ship was until 5:30 PM, and it's become quite a frustrating experience.
It was an excellent experience with wonderful staff who accommodated my food allergies. The wildlife sightings were impressive, and the glacier was incredibly fascinating.
The cruise lasted around 5 hours and we spotted orcas and juvenile humpbacks, although we didn’t see much of their bodies. Additionally, we visited another national park and observed a few sea otters and sea lions. This cruise was also $100 less expensive than the cruise line's excursion, and it included transport from the cruise ship terminal to the Kenai Fjord NP tour office.
This was an incredible experience for our family. The whales, sea lions, and calving were all remarkable, and the weather could not have been better. I highly recommend it to everyone.
The crew was fantastic, and the destinations in Kenai Fjords offer stunning views of glaciers, diverse marine life, and numerous birds. We encountered orca and humpback whales, sea lions, sea otters, a variety of birds, and even witnessed a glacier calving.
It was mostly enjoyable, but the rainy weather made it difficult to take photos outside for longer than a minute. Unfortunately, we didn’t spot any whales.
This experience was incredible, featuring excellent commentary when needed. As independent travelers, we were unsure about spending six hours on the water, but we ended up wishing it wouldn't end. We spotted sea otters, a whale, Dall's porpoises, sea lions, and the breathtaking scenery, especially the glacier where we witnessed calving. I highly recommend taking this trip if you're in Anchorage or Seward.
The captain and the crew were fantastic, making every effort to showcase the beauty of Alaska. We were fortunate to see numerous orcas swimming alongside our boat, along with sea lions, sea otters, puffins, and seals. It was an incredible experience.
