Our small family group was hosted by Tauck Tours on a Cruise West crew and boat, the Spirit of Yorktown. It was a great trip, smooth waters, luxury accommodations, great food and wine. The small boat gave us close access to the wildlife and glaciers. With only 90 passengers, we had close attention from two naturalists aboard, including a whale specialist, plus a park ranger in the Glacier Bay National Park. A highlight of the trip was witnessing for over 10 minutes a Humpback whale and a Stellar sea lion playing, tossing and turning, immediately beside our boat.
