Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on this cruise? Can I take my 5-year-old?

A: The cruise is suitable for families, and there's no strict age limit, but children should be able to stay seated and follow instructions during the 8.5-hour trip. Make sure to bring a life jacket if your child is under 40 pounds, as the crew can provide one on request. It's a fantastic experience for kids who love nature!

Q: What if the weather's bad? Can we reschedule?

A: Yes, if the weather conditions are deemed unsafe, the cruise will be rescheduled. You can typically contact Major Marine Tours to check for updates or rescheduling options. They prioritize safety, so it's best to stay flexible, especially in Alaska!

Q: Is there parking near the cruise launch point in Seward?

A: Yes, there’s parking available near the cruise launch point in Seward, but it can fill up quickly during peak season. I recommend getting there early to secure a spot, or consider using a ride-share if you're concerned about parking.

Thinking of gifting the Kenai Fjords cruise, any tips?

Hey all! I'm looking at getting the Full-Day Kenai Fjords Cruise for my dad's birthday. He’s a huge wildlife and photography guy. I’ve read it lasts around 8.5 hours, which sounds amazing, but I’m curious how the food situation is? Also, what should I wear? Are there any tips for making the most of the experience? Thanks!

Just got back from the Kenai Fjords cruise—wow!

I did the Kenai Fjords Cruise last week and it was epic! Honestly, we saw humpback whales and orcas, plus the Northwestern Glacier is stunning. The crew was super friendly and knowledgeable. The deli lunch was a nice touch, and I definitely recommend bringing binoculars if you have them. Such a great experience, I’d love to do it again!
