Cruise West offers many options for discovering the final frontier of Alaska up- close and personal, for experiences unlike any other and memories that will last a lifetime.
Travelers can choose from seven different trips that explore Alaska's coastal splendor, from the Bering Sea to the Inside Passage, from dramatic glaciers to hidden fjords. Travelers can choose a historic trip following in the wake of the Harriman Expedition, or side trips into quaint fishing villages.
The small ships of Cruise West get adventurers closer to the marvels of Alaska. They can navigate through narrow channels, into shallow bays, and up to isolated beaches out of reach of larger ships. Travelers can hear glaciers groan and watch them slowly move towards the sea. They can feel the mist of a waterfall and see fur seals sunning on rocks.
Cruise West captains are encouraged to be spontaneous, taking advantage of the maneuverability of their small ships to act upon opportunities as they arise. The cultural riches of Alaska are there to discover as well.
Every Cruise West trip also includes "Exploration Leaders," guides who share their expertise and intimate knowledge of Alaska, whether travelers are curious about whale pods or tidewater glaciers.
The laid-back nature of the cruises--with flexible schedules and an emphasis on experiences-often leads to new friendships among the like-minded travelers who are drawn to the wilderness of Alaska.
