Alaska cruise tour question

[shel003]

I’m researching which Alaska cruise tour I’d like to book for 2023.  I’d really like to do the 17 day escorted connoisseur tour but because of my mobility problems have some concerns .  Does anyone know which company Princess uses for the catamaran ride from the ship to the town of Valdez???  

I have contacted the accessibility office and they said I would need to climb a flight of steps to do the catamaran portion but when I look online at some of the companies that do similar tours, they appear to have an enclosed main deck that doesn’t require steps (I’d be ok with staying in the main deck).

 

Any guidance on the company they contract out for this part or your experience taking the catamaran snd whether steps were required would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance.
