Booked this trip online directly with the company. Saved a bundle vs through Carnival Cruise. Email confirmation included boarding passes, directions and cancellation info. No booking/delivery problems. Excursion was our last stop on 8 night Glacier Bay cruise. This was the most fun and informative of all excursions and independent outings we did on entire trip. The boat was nice,... More

As a "Deadliest Catch" fan I was looking forward to this from the moment we saw it listed as an optional excursion. The crew on board was friendly, informative, and went above and beyond every step of the way. They offered extra jackets for those wanting to keep warm and brought around Goldfish crackers as a snack near the end... More

The best thing you can do before you take this excursion is to reserve and purchase at the house through there website, save money by doing this first. Then enjoy one of the more incredible tours that we have ever been on, this excursion done on 7 September 2010 as the Carnival Spirit docked in Ketchikan, it is only a... More

My family and I took an Alaska cruise this last summer and thought we couldn't be more happy with everything, that was until we took the Bering Sea Crab Fishermen's Tour in Ketchikan! Ketchikan was our last stop on our cruise before heading back to Seattle and I'm SOOOO glad we took the excursion! It was by far the highlight... More

When I went to Alaska, I knew instantly that this would be one of my shore excursions. Capt Ray did an excellent job explaining Crab Fishing to us. A very good time and a must do while in Alaska. My visit was in 2011, I just found that I could review my trip.

This tour is unbelievable. We have done it twice, and I would not hesitate to do it again. In fact, we recommend it to everyone going to Ketchikan. Unfortunately, there is never enough time on a cruise stop to do everything. But, if you've already done the Native/totem experiences, then you MUST do this. The exposure to so many bald... More

This was by far one of my favorite excursions. So interesting to get an idea of what goes on onboard! I enjoyed the many tales told about life on the Deadliest Catch, sometimes they had you laughing and other times you wanted to cry for them. Very interesting and informative. I would highly recommend this tour!

We were on a Princess cruise in July 2012 and booked this tour based on a tripadvisor review. It was raining in the morning so we could not do much outdoors. When we boarded it was still raining but started clearing later. The best part of the tour was watching the bald eagles going after the fish that the crew... More

I am a huge Deadliest Catch fan, so just couldn't pass up the chance to take this excursion while in Ketchikan on a Princess Cruise. The boat was an easy walk from the cruise ships in a drizzly rain that quickly stopped. Because we were late in the season the boat was not crowded and there was plenty of space... More
