Cruise West

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 rainforest in Alaska, or enjoying a spectacular spring garden in British Columbia, each of their small-ship cruises is an engaging experience for all your senses.

The philosophy that drives Cruise West is to provide up-close travel that focuses on the destination - its scenery, wildlife, natural history and culture - all in the company of limited numbers of like-minded travelers.  While magnificent sweeping views are certainly abundant in every one of their destinations, it's the glory of the details, viewed close up, that bring you the most rewarding memories - cruising so close to a waterfall you can feel the mist, or seeing the barnacles on a humpback's fin.  The casual style onboard all of their vessels encourages relaxation and congenial interaction between guests and crew alike. And the experience is personally enriching, through onboard narratives and lectures, special local guests from a wide variety of backgrounds, and the library provided on each vessel.

Cruise West destinations include Alaska, Japan, Vietnam & China, South Pacific, Mexico's Sea of Cortes, Eastern US and Canada, Western US and Canada, California Wine Country, and Costa Rica & Panama.
