Alaska Getaways 2008

Why Cruise West? At Cruise West, our philosophy is that smaller is better. Because smaller means closer. The shallow draft of our vessels allows us to explore secluded fjords and remote inlets — isolated reaches too shallow and too narrow for large ships to navigate. if we spot a bear foraging for salmon in shallow waters, we hug the shoreline. if a pod of whales breaches off the stern, we turn around and linger. our expert crew knows exactly where to position our nimble ships so we can catch every spectacular display of Alaska’s wildlife. For Cruise West, small also means casual. say goodbye to large, impersonal ships with floorshows, dinner bells and formalwear. We’ve traded bow ties for blue jeans, and artificial entertainment for a chance to get up-close with nature, with our exploration Leaders and with other like-minded explorers. Cruise West also means personal. After just a few days of cruising, most of our guests will be on an intimate, first name basis with both crew and guests — many of whom will become life-long friends who share a passion for travel, adventure and learning. With a professional yet family-like WHY CRUISE WEST? atmosphere onboard, our friendly staff will quickly become a valued part of your travel memories and experience. With over 60 years of experience in Alaska, we not only know its land and waters, we now have more permits than any other cruise line in Glacier Bay national park and preserve. Cruise West is the only cruise line that spends two full days in the park. simply put, there’s no better way to experience Alaska than by Cruise West small ship.
