Good to know before you go

We have expert Captains and Docents from the Aquarium of the Pacific onboard ensuring the best chance to see whales but it is up to the majestic mammals if they show up for work. We do offer a Sealife Guarantee - If aboard your cruise, we don’t encounter any of the amazing sealife that makes the Pacific Ocean such an incredible place, we will issue you a Return Voucher to come back aboard and join us again in the future”
