CRUISE WEST Family-operated Cruise West was one of the best cruise lines in small-ship expeditions. Its cruises were casual and the itineraries were destination-focused that visited many fascinating ports where big ships cannot arrive. The major businesses of Cruise West were Alaska cruises and cruise tours. Besides, its ships also sailed to Mexico, the Panama Canal, Central America, as well as Antarctica, the Galapagos Islands, South Pacific and the Far East. World cruise was organized once in 2010 onboard Spirit of Oceanus.
In 2010, the fleet of Cruise West consisted of a number of ships, but only
the flagship Spirit of Oceanus was used for ocean-going. Other ships
included Spirit of Yorktown, Spirit of Endeavour,
Spirit of Discovery, Spirit of Columbia, Spirit of '98
and
Pacific Explorer. |
