Stan Stephens Glacier & Wildlife Cruises

Stan Stephens Glacier & Wildlife Cruises has been at home in Valdez and Prince William Sound since 1971. Known then as North Star Marine Charters, Stan, and Mary Helen Stephens operated fishing and hunting charters on their first vessel the 26-foot m/v Mary Helen. Seven years later in 1978, the entire family joined the business as Stan, Mary Helen, and their three daughters operated their first tour to Columbia Glacier on board the m/v Vince Peede. At this time the company changed its name to Stan Stephens Charters, Inc., and to Stan Stephens Glacier & Wildlife Cruises in 2003.
