Amazing Experience - The cruise with Major Marine Tours was one of the highlights of our Alaska trip. 7 1/2 hours may seem like a long time being out on a boat in the weather. But there is so much to see and photograph the time fly's by. The captain and crew were professional and friendly. We saw Minke Whales, Humpback Whales, Sea Otters, hundreds of puffins, Sea Lions, Harbor Seals, Bald Eagles, a Black Bear and lots of other birds. One of the amazing things we were able to see and photograph was Humpback Whales bubble net fishing, absolutely amazing. We will definitely go out on another cruise with Major Marine next year when we are in Seward.

Be on this tour - Well organized tour from start to finish. Saw plenty of wildlife and the captain made sure everyone had a good view. Great information on where we were going and description of all sights. Plenty of space to sit inside or outside and the staff were very attentive to the needs of the passengers. As you venture into the Gulf of Alaska it can get a bit rough so motion sickness pills would be a good choice.

Fabulous tour! - Absolutely fabulous. The cruise reserves a spot at table for everyone so there's no jostling for seats, then we can move around the ship all day. The crew was outstanding and the experience exceeded expectations
