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.
