Best Small Ship Cruise
Cruise West is a small cruise line with nine vessels, each offering an intimate cruise experience. Small ships have the ability to alter courses to accommodate pursuing a whale or other marine life. This cruise line is able to dock at smaller ports where tourists have had less of an impact on the surrounding community so you can gain better insight into the local history. With ships only housing around 100 guests, it is easier to build friendships and have a more hands-on cruising experience than the larger cruise lines can offer.
