Cruise West
Cruise West (formerly Alaska
Sightseeing/Cruise West), a Seattle-based firm, was established in 1973 by
Charles (Chuck) West and his son, Richard (Dick) West. During the 70s and early
80s, the firm was primarily an operator of motorcoach tours and sightseeing on
Alaska-Yukon highways and in major Alaska cities. The company also operated
dayboat cruises on Alaska’s Prince William Sound and Inside Passage. In 1989
Cruise West acquired a small cruise ship, the 52-guest Spirit of Glacier Bay. The next year, they began offering a new series of overnight cruises in
Glacier Bay which departed from Juneau. This itinerary was later extended to
include Sitka and Admiralty Island. Since then, the company has acquired new
vessels at a rate of almost a ship a year. Cruise West now owns and operates a
fleet of seven small cruise ships and one motoryacht, with capacities ranging from 78 to 114 guests. The company has grown
to become the largest small-ship cruise line in North America. A new flagship,
the Spirit of Oceanus, began service in 2001. The
company offers seven different Alaska cruise itineraries between April and
September. Itineraries range from three-night cruises on Prince William Sound to
ten-night voyages between Seattle and the northern limits of the Inside
Passage-Glacier Bay, Skagway and Juneau.
Besides Alaska, Cruise West’s destinations include British Columbia and the
Islands of the Pacific Northwest, the Columbia & Snake Rivers (the two largest
rivers in Western America), the California Wine Country from San Francisco, and
Baja Mexico’s Sea of Cortés. Cruise West takes a destination-focused, "less is
more" approach to adventure cruising, although you certainly won't be lacking
for comfort or quality of amenities. Cruise West's small ships are able to enter
waterways that larger ships cannot, providing an up-close experience made even
more meaningful by lectures and programs from onboard naturalist guides. Cruise
West is owned by the West family of Seattle. Its ships were built in America.
Chuck West is now Chairman Emeritus and Dick West is Chairman and CEO.
