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.
