While Cruise West began with Alaska cruises, they have since expanded their range of destinations.

Alaska

Explore Alaska’s rugged coastlines, ice-carved fjords, towering glaciers and wild interiors with Cruise Wests’ small ships covering Alaska’s inside passage and cruising the Glacier Wonderland.

Antarctica

Landscapes range from Rubenesque ice floes to serrated peaks scratching the sky, rocky beaches to smooth hillsides covered in pumpkin-colored lichens. And with the almost constant daylight, watching the wildlife and scenery is an around-the-clock opportunity.

Galapagos Islands

Cruise the enchanted islands of Darwin, a remarkable island ecosystem of the volcanic Galapagos. See the unique and abundant wildlife, some of which are found nowhere else on earth.

European River cruises

The great beauty, history and culture of Europe's Danube, Rhine and Mosel rivers has inspired poets like Goethe, musicians like Beethoven, Strauss and Mozart, and movies like The Sound of Music.  This ancient stomping ground of the Romans and Habsburg Empire is teeming with all things inspirational.

Panama Canal & Costa Rica

The narrow link of land that connects North and South America is unique on earth, and our small-ship voyages offer unparalleled access to the animals, plants and indigenous people who call this region home. Amongst other unique experiences, you will meet the Emberá Indians in Panama's Darién Jungle and seek wildlife in a Costa Rican jungle.

North America

British Columbia’s beautiful islands are reserved for adventurous souls who long to leave civilization and all its trappings far behind. With Cruise West, you can retrace a historic voyage, visiting quaint ports, great cities, and remarkable wilderness.

In Mexico, each of the Sea of Cortés breathtaking destinations has an exceptional wonder all its own. Isolated coves, pristine waters. Playful sea lions, dolphins and whales. Desert beauty and remarkable sunsets.

Scenery. History. Native American culture. You’ll find it all here at Columbia & Snake Rivers. While most river cruises carry you past urban centers and crowded shorelines, much of the Columbia & Snake Rivers remains pristine and wild.

Voyages of the Great Explorers

Following the route of history’s great sea explorers whose travels shaped much of the known and the new world set the theme for Cruise West’s Voyages of the Great Explorers, a 335-day circumnavigation of the world.
