“This company is a first class operation from the registration process to disembarkation. The captain really worked to get us close to whales and other animals. He put us in the ice flows from the glacier. The rest of the crew was equally helpful on board.”

“Just got back from our trip to Alaska…our two favorite things were Denali and the cruise with you guys. What we appreciated so much about the cruise is that the skipper would stop and wait…sometimes he would stop and wait for the whales, the ice to fall off the glacier, etc.”

Welcome to Valdez and Prince William Sound

Stan Stephens Glacier & Wildlife Cruises respectfully acknowledges that we live, work, and operate on the traditional land of the Alaska Native Alutiiq/Sugpiaq peoples. It is because of their stewardship that we are able to share the wonders of Prince William Sound today.

The traditional name of this area in Sugt’stun, the language of the Sugpiaq, is Suacit, which means, “the people of the place that rises into view.” Suacit and the surrounding Prince William Sound villages provided a bountiful harvest for the Alutiiq/Sugpiaq people. We strive to respect the traditional lands and waterways as we operate. We encourage our guests to take time to learn about the history of our region’s Alaska Native people and their living culture.
