cusematt4 Posted January 26 #1 Share Posted January 26 Hi All, Does anyone know if there's a difference between the below Princess offered tour vs what seems to be the same on the vendor's website? Bering Sea Crab Fishermen's Tour vs Princess-offered Tour: Local Connections: Deadliest Catch Crab Fishermen's Tour Created By Captain David Lethin Fans of the Discovery Channel TV series, "Deadliest Catch," will recognize the Aleutian Ballad! It was made famous in season two and is your portal to adventure on this intriguing, 3-hour Bering Sea Crab Fishermen's Tour. Perfect for the whole family, you'll see what life is like on an authentic Bering Sea fishing boat as you set off in the calm, protected waters. Relax in the heated and sheltered outdoor amphitheatre as your crew hauls up 700 lb. crab pots and long lines from the depths, revealing massive king crabs and other marine life such as octopus, prawns and various other fish species. The amazing sea creatures are gently placed into an on-deck aquarium for you to view, snap photos and even get hands-on with the catch! A stop near Annette Island may offer up close sightings of bald eagles, seals, sea lions, whales and native Alaska fishermen at work. Does anyone know -Are these tours identical? -Does this company have more than one ship? Or is there one ship that is mixed with cruise passengers and those who book direct with the vendor. -The vendor price with tax is $235pp. Princess has a sale that offers the tour for $255pp. Is there any advantage to spending extra and booking this tour (if identical) with Princess for an extra $20pp? Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne123 Posted January 26 #2 Share Posted January 26 I’ve done this excursion several times, with and without the cruise booking. IIRC, there is one boat, Aleutian Ballad, that goes out twice a day. If you book directly, go down to the boat and pick your seat before the cruise crowd arrives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
