Buy your glacier cruise in El Calafate as soon as you arrive because the cruises sell out. There are a couple different glacier cruises. We took the Upsala, Spengazzini cruise which I highly recommend. We cruised Lago Argentina and up two of the arms. It was beautiful. The water was an unbelievable turquoise blue with floating ice bergs. After visiting one of the glacier up close you disembark on the shore for lunch. You can bring a lunch, purchase a hot lunch from the boat, or purchase food from the cafeteria overlooking the glacier. You can eat inside or on the deck overlooking the glacier. If you want to go in luxury you can purchase passage in the Captain’s cabin riding in a private room in the front of the boat with food and wine served throughout the cruise. We took my father and it was a perfect way for those who can’t go trekking to see the glaciers. Also, this cruise allowed us to see different glaciers other than Perito Merreno which we mini-trekked.

I paid for the trip and got the 'confirmed' status.
I've asked for - and received - the precise pickup time for our hotel.
They asked for additional passenger data and thanked me for providing them with all they needed.
Then, late afternoon right before the cruise, they sent me an email saying they have to cancel because they don't know where to pick us up from. All the despite the fact they got this information from Viator, set the precise pickup time and confirmed the completeness of data.
A call to their office revealed that, apparently, they will not be running the cruise on Saturday.
Calling their office, with one person talking loudly in the background and another person loudly whistling (seriously?!) in the background was a really bad experience. Trust me, you don't want to be doing all this last minute, in the middle of Patagonia, with spotty wifi/cell reception.
I ended up going with another, reliable company for the short boat trip + boardwalks. It was great. Book one of these instead.

the Vitator offer
El Calafate Glaciers Sightseeing Cruise
is exactly the same like the Rios de Hielo Express boat tour offered by many companies for the same Price or even a bether Price. I did not want to do this very short Rios de Hielo Express boat tour, thats why I ve choosen this offer by vitator. as it has promised something different and a longer tour. Promise broken, Vitator offeres this tour as an 8 hrs tour, but it was only 7 hrs, with only 5 hrs boat tour. 2 hrs were hotel pick up and Transfer to port. So a 5 hrs boat tour is by far not the "full day boat tour" Vitator has offered. We are disappointed.

Our confirmation for this tour indicated hotel pickup at 8:30am. When we tried to confirm this with Grey Line Argentina it was as though we didn't exist. We were asked twice to email our names, passport details, tour booking reference and still received no assistance. Thanks to the persistence of a kind person at our hotel who tracked down the Calafate tour provider, we were picked up at 7am for the tour.
While we've used Viator tours in many countries previously and happily, this one has left us with an unhappy experience in terms of organisation and communication. It appears that the confirmation information for this tour has been updated with correct pickup time and a Viator phone number. It would have been very useful to have that in January!
The tour itself is beautiful and amazing. Highly recommended.

My experience was good overall. The cruise was excellent and a staff member who spoke English translated the main commentary for the small number of folks on board who weren't fluent in Spanish. The sights we saw were amazing, and even though I visited in spring, it started snowing while we were on the water!
The bus driver to and from the cruise was okay, not ecplaining some practical things in English, and not explaining others at all, which is why I'm giving four stars. However, it's an inexpensive way to get to the dock without driving yourself. My hotel concierge arranged this tour for me.
