Alaska expedition cruises take travelers in an untamed wilderness and allow up-close experiences with the natural wonders of this ecological hotspot. Wildlife sightings seem limitless: Brown and black bears, moose, spirited otters and majestic bald eagles share this region with countless numbers of humpback whales, orcas and porpoises. The landscape of Alaska is as wild as the animals that roam the region. Discover isolated inlets only accessible by sea -- zodiacs and kayaks take you through a labyrinth of glaciers, icebergs, fjords and rivers. A cruise of Alaska can include a trip to the famous Inside Passage, Prince William Sound, Glacier Bay, Bering Sea and Denali Park were travelers enjoy river rafting, horseback riding, and hiking in the shadow of Mount McKinley.

On a small ship cruise, the focus is on Alaska and its spectacular wildlife, environment and culture. Cruise West's vessels range is size from 78 to 138 passengers. They have an experienced crew and flexible schedules to offer the best chances of spotting rare Alaskan Wildlife. The size and skill of the vessels can take travelers in arm's-length reach of an icy glacier, or into the mist of a waterfall at Prince William Sound. The atmosphere onboard is casual and personal. Many travelers form friendships that continue well beyond their voyage.

Here is just a small sample of the itineraries to choose from:
