A cruise on a small ship
is not filled with elaborate distractions, sleek resorts and packaged
tours. Rather, 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 a small ship guests visit
a small port in Alaska's Inside Passage they don't overwhelm the local
communities.
Small ships are the only way to explore
the entire length of the Inside Passage between Seattle and
Juneau. Here you're traveling amid spectacular scenery and
abundant wildlife scarcely changed since the original Spanish, Russian
and English explorers first sailed this way hundreds of years ago.
Unlike those of the big ships, our flexible itineraries give you time to
experience the unplanned events of nature. After all, glaciers do not
"calve" on demand. A small, maneuverable vessel and an
unhurried pace are essential ingredients for those discriminating
travelers who seek to surround themselves with the very soul of Alaska.
Small ship guests would
rather watch for whales in Frederick Sound than spend the afternoon in a
casino. They linger outside on deck as the Captain noses under a
waterfall, rather than focus on a bingo card. On a small ship, the focus
is most often outside, on what Nature has provided for entertainment,
than on facilities provided for your entertainment on board.
There are a number of
small ships that cruise Alaska's inside passage. Call us to find
out what options are available for you travel plans.
