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.

A week in misty wet paradise
Loved being on the last trip of the season - had lots of alterations to the itinerary that made the trip even more enjoyable. Positively great to see LeConte glacier and to kayak in "God's Pocket". Certainly a trip of a lifetime. Thanks for the great memories.

Would do unCruise again, and recommend it to friends. All covered in the question above.

- Small group size. 60ish is a great size or get to know people and not have to wait too long for activities, food etc. very intimate.. Activities. Was concerned there wouldn’t be enough as we don’t kayak, but there was. The shore excursions were each so different it didn’t matter we did 3. Bushwhacking is very different to walking well defined trails. Being personally challenged was rewarding: bushwhacking (the 7 level of difficulty) and conquering Moody Knob and the polar plunge were personal highlights as we were bout doing them.. The crew. Amazing! So talented. So energetic. So going the extras mile, and more. Really appreciated all their knowledge and the evening talks..

Our cruise was a once in a lifetime experience.
This small ship cruise exceeded our expectations. The ship’s staff are so organized, but yet extremely flexible. Their good nature, kindness and professionalism made our trip a memory to last a lifetime.

Small boat cruise. The only way to go
Incredible experience. Loved the two days in Glacier Bay. That is why we picked this cruise.

- Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, from kitchen staff to guides, all were awesome. Loved the extracurricular activities. Could sit around on the boat if you wanted to, but plenty of things to do outside.. Loved the small boat experience, being able to get to places the floating hotels could not.
