Great Experience
This cruise was a great experience that people on the big boats can't do. We were able to kayak right off the boat. Go into areas that only small boats can go. See Grizzly bears feeding on salmon less than 50 yards away. Saw so many Humpback whales including a bubble net about 10-20 yards in front of the boat. We caught our limit of halibut and the crew cooked it that night for dinner AND fileted and packaged the remaining halibut so we could take it home. Pulled crab pots and the crew cooked it for dinner. We went into the small villages of Tenakee Springs and Baranof and the crew knew people in each village that gave us great insightson what to do and introduced us to locals that made our stay even better. The crew anticipated what we needed, were so nice and generous, all the great food you would want for every meal. This was a great experience. You have to go. You will love it!

We would recommend this type of cruise to anyone looking for a different type of adventure.
We enjoyed our trip on the Northern Dream. The crew was great, the food delicious and the memories priceless. Highlights were the whales, crab pots and halibut fishing. The crew did everything they could to make sure we were well taken care of.

A fantastic week.
It was a fantastically entertaining week in which we got to meet the other passengers. I suspect we were on opposite sides of the political spectrum, but nobody dwelt on that and they were very nice and fun loving people.

- The crew was friendly, professional, competent, and entertaining.. Incredible activities. Setting crab pots, catching and then eating the crabs. Catching and eating halibut and then getting to take the extra home. It was vacuum packed and frozen within hours on board the vessel.. Lots of whale watching..

Great trip full of amazing experiences and views!
We loved going to the places less seen in Alaska. Going to Baranof Hot Springs was the most beautiful place I've ever been. Hiking and soaking in the Hot Springs right next to the river was crazy cool. Then hiking up to the lake and jumping in the freezing cold water was exhilarating. Taking a soak in the bathhouse first thing in the morning was the best thing ever. Halibut fishing and crabbing was a blast. Eating the catch of the day at dinner was better than you can imagine. Best of all we were able to bring home the halibut that we didn't eat on board.

- The views and the experiences on a boat for seven days. The crew (Captain Jim, Austin, & Mike) and other four guests to make it so much fun. Viewing all the wildlife (Humpback whales, killer whales, otters, bald eagles, Dall's porpoise).

You gotta do this!
This was a great week on board a non standard Alaska cruise vacation. With only 6 passengers we went to places and saw things that aren’t available on big boats. We saw whales dancing in our forests 3 hours out of Juneau and another occasion when the were bubble feeding. The 3 person crew was fantastic and responded to any and all requests (within reason). Don’t expect white table cloth dining. This was all of us sitting around the table eating family style. The meals were totally varied to include ribs, prime rib, fresh caught halibut, fresh crab with NY strip steaks! No body lost weight! There was plenty of beer, wine and sodas available. Truly memorable experience.

Fantastic adventure in the last frontier!
I didn't originally want to come to Alaska on vacation. Boy, was I wrong!!! This is a great vacay for any age. Captain Jim was friendly, knowledgeable and professional withoit being stuffy. He directed his crew, Mikey and Austin kindly and professionally. But, oh the adventure,! Hot springs, glaciers, halibut fishing and more!! Definitely worth the cost!
