Tour 190NCTA: Northbound Cruise 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.
