What Guests Say

"This has been an absolutely incredible voyage! We came aboard with 4 adults and 10 children, and everybody had all their hopes for this trip fully realized – and more! We hiked, climbed, caught fish, saw lots of whales and other animals, spectacular glaciers and waterfalls...I can't thank the Discovery crew enough for making this the experience of a lifetime."

"Having planned this experience for nearly three years, we had high expectations, and the voyage exceeded them. You not only tolerated and excited our three generational family, you made it special for each of us. Thanks from the bottom of my heart."

- Pete Bates – Age 72

Visits to shore are made daily for hikes along the beach, alpine meadows, and if you are up for it, treks to mountain ridgelines. It is all customizable, and excursions are optional. The views from the Discovery are breathtaking in all directions. The meals are prepared by the Discovery chef, and delight the eyes as much as the palette.
