Overview: these ships provide a nice alternative to the larger cruise ships that ply the Alaskan waters each year. Because of their size they can visit a wider variety of places and can quickly move to where the action is. The ships are equipped with stable, two-person kayaks and Zodiac landing craft and guests can embark on kayak trips and shore walks directly from the ship. Kayaking and guided hikes are included in the cruise price. Leaving from Juneau or Glacier Bay the MV Wilderness Explorer visits Icy Strait and Glacier Bay with off-vessel adventure activities. Accommodations onboard are comfortable but smaller than those you will find on the larger cruise ships. The level of service and quality of food on board are very good.
