An experience you must put in your bucket list - Our experience was phenomenal. We highly recommend going on this glacial adventure. Words cannot describe the majestic view of the glaciers. Pictures cannot do justice. The pilot and his crew were delightful, friendly, and informative. The service was equally outstanding. Surprisingly, the meal served onboard was really delicious. It was salmon chowder, served with a dinner roll and butter. A slaw, gummy candies, and a York peppermint Patty were also included. Near the end of the cruise, they announced that fresh baked chocolate chip cookies had just come out of the oven and they were going to pass them out to everyone. First class service and experience!

Best excursion of our Alaskan dream vacation - Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The accommodations were nice, the staff was friendly, entertaining and informative, the food was EXCELLENT (better than anything we had on Norwegian). We had the salmon choices. And things beyond their control like beautiful weather and the glacier calving several times were on our side. I highly recommend this excursion. It was the best one we took! I’m leaving a great review even though I got sick in the boat (after effects of COVID), so my pictures aren’t the best.

An amazing adventure in Prince William Sound!! - My wife and I toured with 26 Glaciers - Phillips Cruise and Tours via a booking through our Alaska Railroad tour package (Alaska by Daylight). Captain Ryan and his crew were very professional AND friendly throughout the cruise, from pre-boarding through disembarking! As we ventured out into the Prince William Sound, we saw sea lions, harbor seals, loads of sea birds and glaciers, glaciers, glaciers!! The crew plucked a piece of glacier from the water for drinks…how cool!! It was SOLID and clean. We would like to highlight Trinity and Cass for their above and beyond service during the cruise. They both ensured a safe meal option for my wife with severe food allergies. Both the vegetarian chili and the seafood chowder were very good food options. Only great things to say about Phillips Cruise and Tours! (You should go!!)

Great experience, worth it 👌 - The drive through the tunnel was a cool way to start the experience. The trip was spectacular, amazing beauty that photos can't come close to capturing. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They worked hard to find wildlife. We saw a whale, otters, seals, sea lions, eagles, and salmon jumping out of the water. We were able to see large chunks of ice falling from the glaciers, which was beautiful and powerful. I would do this trip again. It was worth the money.
