One of the best ways to spend a stress-free vacation is by joining a cruise. You do not need to walk to far places and sit in a bus, train or plane for hours. You can now enjoy the ride and relax while you get mesmerized with the sceneries. But of course you can only enjoy your vacation when you visit the right places, just like Alaska. And one of the best cruise lines that will complete your Alaska experience is Cruise West.
Cruise West started with land tours in Alaska and it was in 1958 when they introduced their first cruise. And successfully after 50 years, they became the largest company in Alaska with small ships. In 2006, they acquired Yorktown Clipper and Nantucket Clipper from Clipper Cruise Line and these ships are now known as Spirit of Yorktown and Spirit of Glacier Bay, respectively. Most ships of Cruise West carry the U.S. flag which has its perks since they can cruise through the American waters and use different routes that other cruise lines are not allowed.
The line has a total of nine ships with different destinations, one of them is Alaska. The ambiance in the ships is casual which promotes a relax feel to the passengers. The staffs are very accommodating and hospitable. They take care of your personal needs which make their service excellent and personalized. You can also join several onboard and ashore activities like hiking in a forest in Alaska, swimming, snorkeling, canoeing, diving, tour on various historical attractions, visiting the wildlife, and many more. You can also opt to have quiet time and stay in the ship while enjoying the sceneries. Although take note that Cruise West is not more on adventure cruises but more of catering those who love sceneries or nature while comfortably viewing them. With the small ship, you can be up close with wildlife and nature. It can pass through the narrow waters of Alaska and visit small towns which are limited to large ships. This is why Cruise West says that you can experience Alaska up close and casual through their small ships.
Cruise West attracts passengers aged 30 to 80 since these are the people who go on leisure tours and who are interested to learn more about history, nature, etc. With an onboard tour guide who shares his knowledge about the places, structures, or sceneries they pass through, the passengers will surely be satisfied. But of course, kids are also welcome to join the cruise. There may not be activities targeted for them alone, but the crew provides the kids things to make them happy as well.
Being in the business for so long, Cruise West definitely earned their reputation for being one of the best cruise lines in Alaska. Join their cruise and guaranteed they will let you have an awesome experience in Alaska.
