Tour 190NCTA: Northbound
Cruise
I
Tour 190SCTA:
Southbound Cruise
Cruise
Alaska's spectacular Inside Passage between
Ketchikan and Juneau aboard the mv Spirit of '98, mv
Spirit of Endeavour, or mv Sprit of Yorktown. The
small ships of Cruise West allow for exploration of
the sheltered waters and small port towns not
visited by the large ships. Visit some of the most
impressive coastal highlights found anywhere in the
world, such as Misty Fjords National Monument,
Frederick Sound, Lynn Canal, Sitka Sound, and Tracy
Arm, home to the immense Sawyer Glaciers. This
cruise includes a full day to discover Glacier Bay
National Park with a park naturalist. Ports of call
include the Tsimshian village of Metlakatla, Sitka,
Skagway, Haines and Petersburg.
Cruise West's vessels are smaller
than most of the cruise ships plying
Alaska's waters. This allows for
cruising through passages which are
inaccessible to larger ships,
resulting in a sense of truly being
part of the great coastal vista.
With the friendly and personal
atmosphere on board, dramatic
scenery, glaciers, and wildlife,
this is a cruise you will long
remember.
