Adventure World

Cruise West

If you've travelled with big ship cruise lines in the past, it's time to forget everything you thought you knew about cruising. And if you've avoided cruising because you thought it would be like travelling in a floating mall, it's time to think again. This is something else altogether.

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

Worldwide Small Ship Cruising Options:

Alaska

Glaciers, whales, native cultures … our itineraries offers them all. Travel to places such as Alaska's fabled Inside Passage, pausing to admire dramatic fjord waterfalls, humpback whales at play and the spectacular Glacier Bay National Park. Keep your eyes peeled for sea lions, puffins, eagles, otters and bears as you explore secluded inlets only accessible by our ship as we go where large ships can't giving you the ultimate Alaskan experience.

Antarctica, South Georgia and Falkland Islands:

Expedition to the White Continent. Terra Incognita. This place at the edge of the world has fascinated people since its discovery in the early 1800s. It's the largest remaining wilderness on earth, and one of the most remote. Few people make the journey to see it. But those who do are rewarded with ethereal landscapes, luminous icebergs and seas and shores teeming with wildlife.

Galapagos Islands:

Cruise the enchanted islands of Charles Darwin and explore the truly remarkable island ecosystem that is the volcanic Galapagos Islands. See unique and abundant wildlife, some of which are found nowhere else on earth. In the company of naturalist guides, aboard the Isabela II, the most luxurious vessel cruising the Galapagos, you'll scout for breaching whales, pink flamingos, giant tortoises, marine iguanas, tiny penguins and flightless cormorants, to name just a few of the many species that call the Galapagos home.

Mexico:

Sail along the Sea of Cortés and view the breathtaking desert scenery of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula. Travel to remote islands to watch playful sea lions, dolphins and whales and discover historic Catholic Missions. Each evening take to the deck to watch the truly remarkable sun sets.

Panama Canal and Costa Rica:

Sail the beautiful pristine beach and jungle river-lined coastline between the San Blas Islands and Manuel Antonio National Park, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, taking nature walks and exploring by inflatable craft along the way. Venture into national parks and conservation areas teeming with wildlife, and visit remote communities where locals live, colorful and proud, in their ancient ways.
