Cruise West Overview

The Cruise West Experience

Cruise West is a second-generation, family-owned company that enables Avoya Travel travellers to explore remote locales not accessible by larger cruise ships. Cruise West’s smaller ships hold only 78-138 guests, encouraging congenial interaction between guests and crew and creating a relaxed environment. All Cruise West ships have forward lounges and ample outdoor deck space for viewing and photographing wildlife and scenery, and ships are also equipped with inflatable zodiacs for up-close exploration of remote areas and shore landings.

Cruise West: Small Ship Cruising

If you’ve travelled with big ship cruise lines in the past, it’s time to forget everything you thought you knew about cruising. And if you’ve avoided cruising because you thought it would be like travelling in a floating mall, it’s time to think again. Cruise West is something else altogether.

The guest is always top-of-mind, and Cruise West continues to create thoughtful itineraries to distinctive and unique destinations, many difficult to reach by other modes of transportation. With excursions offered at every port, Avoya Travel guests’ experiences are personalized and enriched through onboard and onshore lectures by naturalists and historical experts.

Small-ship cruising is infinitely flexible, and demand for such high-quality life experiences is ever growing.
