huge, stable catamaran for touring around the kenai penninsula. park ranger on board to spot wildlife and give information on the area. boat captain and personnel take great care for the comfort of passengers and to point out wildlife. we saw humpback whales, orcas, bird colonies and the rare steller's sea lions. we can't say anything bad about this company... more

.....We saw lovely wildlife and greatly enjoyed our tour but....the sound system wasn't working. That meant if we wanted to follow the commentary we had to go inside to hear what Ranger Chad had to say. To his credit he came outside several times and was willing to stop and answer individual questions and chat, but it would have been... more

Recommend using Renown Tours to book your Resurrection Bay or Kenai Fjords National Parks Cruise in Seward. It was recommended to us by a local B&B and we enjoyed our cruise a lot. A lunch was provided on our tour and for those who don't realize it, they offer a non-seafood option for that. Dress very warmly in layers! more

The cruise was well organized from purchasing on-line (though we later found people who bught coupn books and got much better deals then even the early purchase one we got) to boarding, the naration by the very friendly ranger (she even walked around and chatted between events) and the entire plan. Crew was very attentive and clearly made sure we... more

My daughter and I went on the 6 hour Glacier tour and were thrilled with the amount of wildlife we saw. Puffins, Seals, Killer whales, Humpback whales, Dall porpoises, and a Sea Otter. There were many more birds and it felt like a giant bonus to seeing the Glacier. The Glacier was loud and I loved that they asked everyone... more

First of all I live and work in Seward,AK. I have been on almost all of the cruises available from the 3 tour companies in Seward. I just wanted to say that if you expect a LUXURY, all out cruise maybe you should take a vacation on a real cruise ship. Renown does have the largest catamaran that goes out... more

We picked this tour because of the toursaver coupon and the fact that there is a ranger on board. We ended up doing the 6 hour tour hoping it wouldn't be too long. It was awesome! We saw the glacier calving like crazy and the rain stopped long enough for us to get some good shots too! As for wildlife,... more

My husband and I really enjoyed our 6 hour glacier cruise with Renown Tours. Capt Eric shared the "mic" with the National Park Ranger and gave us interesting personal info as well as info regarding the sights. We also use the Great Alaskan Tour Saver coupon and felt we got a great deal! more

We had a great time with Renown glacier cruise. We took 6 hrs. Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise in late August using Toursaver coupon book. We got lucky with good weather and lots of wild life. Also saw glacier calving and captain gave us enough time to watch. Staff was very helpful and they provided us with good vegeterian lunch.... more

My party of four took the 6-hour Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise in early August (with the two-for-one TourSaver coupons). It was a great trip - no complaints other than that the whales didn't really cooperate that day. However, we were puzzled about whether to take Dramamine or not, and ended up opting to take it, as a I gathered... more
