Prince William Sound Cruise- Major Marine or PWS Glacier Cruises

[Sumy]

We're looking into booking a Glacier Cruise for Prince William Sound. Our two choices are:

 

Major Marine-Prince William Sound Glacier Cruise from 1:15pm-6:30 pm

or

Prince William Sound Glacier Cruises-Wilderness Explorer Glacier Cruise from 11:00am-5:00pm

 

If you've been on either please let me know what your experience was. Pros/Cons/Opinions are much appreciated.

 

Thanks :D

Both are excellent but wife and I love PWS for their two choices of itineraries vs. the one for Major Marine and 26 glaciers.

 

PWS Tours has a longer trip through Esther Passage that goes to the glaciers of Barry Arm that is spectacular. This one takes about 6 hours and leaves at 11am.

 

The 1:30pm trip is shorter (4 hours) and visits the glaciers of Blackstone Bay.

 

Have done both again within the last month (one with my college geography class at the local university in Anchorage) and never tire of either one.
