A day spent on the water with Stan Stephens Glacier and Wildlife Cruises is a complete Alaskan Experience! The Stephens family and staff will take the time to let you experience all of the Sound from the magnificent icebergs at Columbia Glacier, calving at Meares Glacier, to Orcas, Humpback Whales, Stellar Sea Lions, seals, puffins, Bald Eagles, kittiwakes, cormorants, porpoise, goats, or bears.
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.
