By Mary M for "Focus on Whales" with Guide Dr. Adam Pack - Individual Cabins A155 on Aug 06, 2025

Magical. Epic. This was my third trip with Jim and they have all been really terrific.

By Liz U for "Focus on Whales" with Guide Jim Nahmens A145 on Jul 28, 2025

I loved this trip! One of my best experiences ever. Is my second time doing it with Alaska Sea Adventures on the Northern Song and Jim Nahmens and I'm definitely doing it again. We had an amazing crew that with Captain Shane, Mate Bart and knowledgeable Jim took us to see awsome bubble net feeding humpback whales, sea lions, black and brown bears and glaciers. The food made by Chef Katie was absolutely delicious, I'm vegan and she made me very happy with her creations. The boat is beautiful and really comfortable, very good maintained and you definitely feel safe and at home. I had the best new friends and I can't wait to do it again!

Every time I go with the crew at Alaska Sea Adventures, it's always a pleasure. Top-notch cooking, on-point hospitality, and a professional staff who's always attentive.

By Russell G for A Nature Photography Expedition with Russell Graves A125 on Jul 07, 2025

It was the perfect balance of daily adventures in beautiful areas of Alaska, relaxation and fine dining with amazing meals prepared by our chef extraordinaire Katie. Captain Shane personalized the trip and first mate Bart was awesome.
