About

Phillips Cruises & Tours began in 1958 when Brad and Helen Phillips started operating in Prince William Sound with the 85-foot M/V Gypsy, a vessel later lost in the 1964 Alaska Earthquake. In 1985 the company was the first to pioneer high-speed catamarans in Alaska, and in 1987 the founders developed the 26 Glacier Cruise route.

The M/V Klondike Express arrived in Whittier for the 1999 season. In 2003 Brad Phillips sold the company to Bob Neumann. The company added the M/V Glacier Quest in 2012, refitted the Klondike Express in 2017, brought the M/V Bravest from New York to Alaska in 2019 and expanded the fleet to four catamarans in May 2024 with the M/V Chugach Express.
