| CRUISE
WEST |
While
magnificent sweeping views are certainly abundant in every
one of Cruise West's destinations, it's the glory of the
details, viewed close up, that provides the most rewarding
memories - an eagle in a tree on a tiny rocky islet, or
the barnacles visible on a humpback's fin. In many of the
remote waterways we visit, small ships are the only way
to explore the area.
The casual
style on board all of our vessels encourages relaxation
and congenial interaction between guests and crew alike.
And the experience is personally enriching, through on-board
narrative and lectures, special local guests from a wide
variety of backgrounds, and the library provided on each
vessel.
With
Cruise West, you're not just a visitor, you're a participant.
Whether kayaking off a wilderness island in Mexico, hiking
in a rain forest in Alaska, or enjoying a spectacular
spring garden in British Columbia, a small-ship cruise
is an engaging experience for all the senses. In every
Cruise West destination, at least one shore excursion
or highlight is included in each port of call, to further
encourage your active involvement. |

hotels, resorts and restaurants on shore. Spaciousness and
elegance is the rule, with an ambiance that allows pampered
guests to establish their own pace befitting their own lifestyles
