Cruise West takes a destination-focused, "less is more" approach to adventure cruising, though amenities are certainly not lacking. Its unique fleet of small ships is able to maneuver through waterways that larger ships cannot, providing an up-close experience on all cruises. And to add to the in-depth experience, every ship has an onboard naturalist to offer a wealth of information on the wildlife, natural history and historical events of a destination.

The casual atmosphere on Cruise West means no dressing up for meals or formal nights. Ships have comfortable, intimate lounges and spacious decks that provide the backdrop for entertainment and camaraderie. Cruise West Alaska cruises are particularly popular, although the line also travels to destinations in Central America, the South Pacific and the Sea of Cortes, and along rivers in the Pacific Northwest.

Officers: American (International on Spirit of Oceanus)
