A growing portion of the Discovery's season provides customized, private voyages into Alaska's prized seacoast region of Prince William Sound. Individual families, groups of friends, photographers, film crews, researchers, educators, and other groups can charter the boat for their exclusive cruise and enjoy a private wilderness experience.

With the popular destinations in Alaska becoming increasingly more crowded, many are looking for some form of exclusivity and privacy, that sidesteps the large crowds of mainstream tourist destinations. This has been the Discovery's focus from the beginning, and if you find yourself attracted to this type of travel, we encourage you to explore some of our regularly scheduled cruises, or contact us to discuss dates and availability for your own specific time frame.

All of our voyages offer guests a unique encounter with the astonishing diversity of life in Prince William Sound's marine and terrestrial habitats. Calving glaciers, wildlife viewing, whale watching, shore side hikes, and sea kayaking are some of the favored activities.
