In a pristine land with few roads a small ship cruise is the perfect – and sometimes the only – way to explore the dazzling beauty of Alaska’s coastline. The vivid blue glaciers calving icebergs into crystal waters and pretty little fishing ports backed by immense coastal rainforests are easily explored without the hassle of packing and unpacking each day.
Small ships are best: they can access regions and obtain close-up views that none of the large cruise ships can offer and there is a friendly conviviality on board amongst passengers who tend to be more motivated to take in the surrounding beauty than be distracted by entertainments on board. We have chosen our travel partners carefully to offer you the best in small ship cruises to this unforgettable destination.
