The Cruise West Experience Unforgettable natural beauty and an intriguing sense of history reveal themselves in-depth and up-close on the small-ship voyages of Cruise West. These are not typical vacations. These are journeys of discovery that take you into places you've only imagined, introduce you to people you'll always treasure, and put you back in touch with your true self. The Small Ship Advantage In many of the remote waterways that Cruise West visit, small ships are the only way to explore the area. They forsake the wider shipping lanes for channels just a few hundred feet wide, tie up to inner piers in tiny villages, and share waterways with local fishermen and perhaps a few private yachts. Some of their ships have bow ladders for shore access. Many carry inflatable excursion craft to take you to where the action is. Your cruise on their 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. When Cruise West guests visit a small port in Alaska's Inside Passage they don't overwhelm the local communities or crowd nature trails. And in the small ports visited, they have nourished excellent relationships with the local innkeepers, port directors, and local storytellers. |
