Highlights
The 38-cabin Wilderness Discoverer was built in 1992 and renovated in 2011. The open-plan lounge and dining room have a relaxed atmosphere, with the beautiful cedar wood bar a great place to get a drink and socialize with other guests. There are three decks, including a sun deck, from which you can admire the stunning scenery. The small ship cruise vessel carries an impressive assortment of adventure gear, such as kayaks, skiffs, paddleboards, and hiking poles. Do you still have the energy to burn? You can make full use of the onboard fitness equipment. Alternatively, if a little R&R is more in line with your desires, there are two onboard hot tubs. You can choose between four classes of cabins, each with a private bathroom, air conditioning, and a TV/DVD player. Each cabin also has a viewing window. See and hear more underwater action with the hydrophone and underwater camera.

This cruise was everything we hoped for and more!
Our overall experience was excellent! Seeing glaciers up close was amazing! Choosing a small boat experience was absolutely the way to go. We actually had the opportunity to get to know the other passengers, and made some wonderful friends.

Fabulous fantastic unforgettable experience!
The incredible scenery: snow capped mountains everywhere, waterfalls, glaciers, the large and small icebergs from Dawes Glacier, the wildlife -- whales orcas porpoises bears mountain goats sea otters sea lions seals. The crew -- friendly, knowledgeable, passionate, competent, welcoming. The ship -- very comfortable, great food, great bar, excellent library. The coordination of everything was perfect, from boarding to zodiac trips to disembarking. The flexibility of the crew. The lack of pushy promotions and advertising.
