Kayaking with the whales, icebergs, and seals was a one of a kind experience. Also seeing a moose with her calf…the whales filled us with awe. The dinners and wine were a perfect end to an amazing day…landing a 73 lb. halibut by far the biggest fish ever caught…We will have great stories for our friends and family. We are all leaving hooked on Alaska! We loved our wonderful cruise. Never have we been so well taken care of.

First, I would like to thank you for a wonderful, absolutely fabulous cruise. I enjoyed every moment and it was nice visiting with you again and visiting all those wonderful places so close to your home. Again, thanks for a wonderful trip land I look forward to doing it again.

Greetings, We are back home, settling in. We had a great trip with you and your crew. Two of the best comments I got were, “It felt like traveling with family.” and “I felt like I saw the real Alaska.” Everyone enjoyed going to Cape Fox Island, especially with Joe along; and Metlakatla, that was a treat: a very authentic experience. We packed a lot in, in a short time! They all would have liked more time on the boat.” We are looking forward to the next adventure.

On our last night we were relaxing on the back deck watching the sun go down and watching a couple of Brown Bear cubs playing on the beach, enjoying the sunset themselves.

The boats great for all ages; grandpa can relax at the same time mom is out kayaking with the kids, and everyone is able to meet back onboard for dinner. The days seemed to evaporate on our 7 day cruise – there’s always some animal popping its head out of the water or some amazing spectacle or adventure to get into.

“We were pleasantly surprised with the snacks the on board chef had prepared for us upon our arrival to the ship. She continued to please with an array of snacks, tasty meals and delightful treats throughout the week.”

“I couldn’t believe the abundance of wildlife in Alaska and in Southeast Alaska in particular. Whales, eagles, seals, otters and bears were frequent sights before, during and after our cruise.”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“Sea Otters are so cute, and they’re everywhere!”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“The Sea Lions were so playful and friendly – like dogs of the sea. They were very interesting and very plentiful in Prince William Sound.”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“We saw this speck in the brush and as we got closer we saw it was actually an adult black bear. We were really excited to see it but were also glad it was from the safety of the boat’s deck.”

“We saw two brown bears fishing for salmon late into the evening. They didn’t pay any attention to us and we were able to watch them for the better part of an hour.”

“When you get on the boat you hope you’ll see whales, but you don’t really expect to. But then you see your first, second, third whale . . . and eventually you feel guilty when the captain announces a whale sighting and you don’t even go to the deck to have a look.”

“It was so cool to see the Dall Porpoise playing in the boat’s wake. They leapt in and out of the wake for almost 20 minutes while we motored along.”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“The captain told us that Orca (Killer Whales) sightings aren’t an everyday occurrence. On our second day, however, we were treated to a whale show, courtesy of a large family of Killer Whales. It was amazing. . .”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“It is so cool hanging out on these remote beaches and islands. You have the whole place to yourself, checking out abandoned mining sites, amazing wildflowers and just poking around. Prince William Sound is amazing!”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“The kids loved poking around the little tide pools and eddies along the beaches.”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“It was really cool having the skiff to make quick little trips to shore. We thought it was great but the kids thought it was awesome!”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“I couldn’t get enough kayaking in during the trip. Although I had no kayaking experience to speak of I took to the water like a fish in the single kayak provided aboard the Dream Catcher. You’d be amazed at how different the scenery is from water level.”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“Kayaking through the icebergs was just the coolest thing ever.”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Liddy from New Zealand
“Bringing home filets of frozen halibut and rock fish were an unexpected perk on our cruise. Our only concern now is finding enough freezer space at home for our catch!”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“The coolest thing about fishing on the boat was eating it right afterwards. If we caught a fish that day, the chef was only too happy to cook it up for us. That went for the crab and shrimp as well.”

“It was great that dad and grandpa could fish all day long while everyone else did what they pleased.”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“The cook is so cheerful. She just kept on cooking us delicious food night after night. You won’t go hungry on these trips.”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“I thought the Dream Catcher was the perfect type of boat for our 7 day cruise. It was definitely big enough for all the activities we were doing and comfortable enough to make us feel right at home. We cruised Alaska in style aboard the Dream Catcher!”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“The boat had so much room – room for everything and everybody, it felt very spacious and very sturdy. It was comfortable but strong. The onboard packaging / cold storage made sending our fish home a snap.”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“The captain and crew were fantastic. They made all the difference in our truly unforgettable Alaska cruise adventure!”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“The captain’s passion really shows through. He and the crew love what they do and they made our trip ever the more special.
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“Captain Rob was very welcoming of us into his wheelhouse and was great with very knowledgeable answers to all our silly little questions.”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Guest
“After previously traveling to Alaska on a large cruise ship, I was so glad we chose to take a second trip on a smaller ship. It was nice to anchor in remote places instead of bustling small town harbors. It was great to see the whales up close. This time around I was able to see Alaska instead of passing by all these cool spots on a huge floating hotel.”
— M/V Dreamcatcher, Yanni, UK
“We were so happy to have chosen Alaska Dream Ventures for our Alaska cruise. We saw one of the major cruise ships on our way into port on the last evening of our cruise and I couldn’t help but feel sorry for those people not having experienced all the things we were able to.”
