Cruise West

Cruise West guests would rather watch for whales than spend the afternoon in a casino. They linger outside on deck as the Captain noses under a waterfall, rather than watch a video. On a small ship, the focus is outside where Nature provides the entertainment, rather than on artificial amusements conjured up to occupy your attention during long hours of open water.

With Cruise West, you're not just a visitor, you're a participant. Whether you're kayaking off a wilderness island in Mexico, hiking in a rain forest in Alaska, or enjoying a spectacular spring garden in British Columbia, each small-ship cruises is an engaging experience for all your senses.

Your cruise on a small ship is not filled with elaborate distractions, sleek resorts, and packaged tours. Rather, the small ships are perfect for intimate exploration of off-the-beaten track waterways, narrow channels and tiny ports that passengers on large ships will never see.

Your time is spent wisely, too. Rather than making a beeline from port to port, the Captains have the flexibility - and the inclination - to linger when nature is putting on a show, whether it's a spectacular rainbow or a rare view of wildlife.

Cruise West also offer a Single Share Program. If you book a single-share cabin in one of the eligible categories, you are guaranteed to travel in that category (or perhaps, even higher) at the twin price.
