Dear Explorer,
When founder, Chuck West, began sharing his beloved Alaska with visitors more than 60 years ago, he wanted to give them an experience that was altogether unique. He only traveled with small groups of special guests, keeping the experience personal and intimate. These Alaska-cruises got visitors close to Alaska's magnificent scenery, wildlife and culture so they would return home with a real appreciation for Alaska having really 'touched' it and not just returned home with a handful of photos.
Over the past 25 years Cruise West has developed small ship cruising as the ultimate platform to provide these "Up Close, Casual and Personal" cruise experiences. Their emphasis remains with Alaska small ship cruise experiences but that have also expanded their destinations to include the Bering Sea, Japan, Panama Canal & Costa Rica, British Columbia, Mexico's Sea of Cortes, Europe's Danube River and the Galapagos Islands. And the same philosophy of providing personal, intimate, life-enhancing cruise experiences continues to guide them. Wherever they go, the focus is on the destination, with knowledgeable guides and Exploration Leaders, "insider" experiences, and many included "extras" like kayaks, snorkel equipment, and shore excursions to ensure a memorable and enjoyable experience.
