Think small for that Alaska cruise
These cruises are aboard the ships of Cruise West that at around just 100 tonnes can get so up-close to glaciers, ice-bergs, wildlife and craggy shorelines that guests feel they can almost reach out and touch them…..and with so few passengers, little villages and towns visited aren’t overwhelmed.
Cruise West has cruise-only itineraries in 2008 from 3 to 12 nights from $1829pp twin-share, and cruise-and-tour from 7 to 15 nights from $3299pp twin-share, including Early Book discounts of up to $1300 pp if booked and paid through Creative Cruising by December 7 this year. Air is additional.
Prices include all onboard dining and port charges with cruise-only packages, and dining, port charges, luxury coaches, hotels, transfers sightseeing, entries and some meals with cruise-and-tour packages. Dress aboard is casual, and informal mealtimes feature a wide mix of local and international dishes.
Depending on itineraries chosen, highlights can include Glacier Bay, the Inside Passage, Prince William Sound, Whales & Wilderness, all main Alaskan gold-rush and other coastal port towns, and the Denali National Park.
