Up-Close, Casual & Personal
When Chuck West
first offered unique and personal travel experiences more than 50 years ago,
he built his business on the philosophy that drives Cruise West to this day:
to provide up-close travel that focuses on the destination - its scenery,
wildlife, natural history and culture - all in the company of limited
numbers of like-minded travelers.
While
magnificent sweeping views are certainly abundant in every one of our
destinations, it's the glory of the details, viewed close up, that bring you
the most rewarding memories - cruising so close to a waterfall you can feel
the mist, or see the barnacles on a humpback's fin.
The
casual style on board all of our vessels encourages relaxation and congenial
interaction between guests and crew alike. And the experience is personally
enriching, through on-board narrative and lectures, special local guests
from a wide variety of backgrounds, and the library provided on each vessel.
