Cruise Lines - Cruise West
CRUISE WEST HAS CEASED OPERATIONS AS OF SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 18, 2010 CITING THE PROBLEMS OF THE CURRENT FINANCIAL CLIMATE.
The statement issued by Cruise West seems to make it quite clear that this really is the "end" of the cruise line, but many in the cruise industry, and loyal passengers too, are hoping for a miracle
to save the cruise line.
Here at Prow's Edge we join that fervent wish!
Cruise West – a second-generation, family-owned business based in Seattle – offers soft adventure seekers the opportunity to explore remote and distinctive destinations in Alaska, the West Coast, Central America, Mexico, the South Pacific and Asia. It provides the opportunity to explore remote, worldwide locales by providing distinctive, one-of-a-kind, personalized itineraries not offered by the traditional larger cruise lines. Cruise West’s smaller ships – nine in all – hold between 70-138 people each, and the casual style onboard encourages relaxation and congenial interaction between guests and crew alike.
The experience is personally enriching through expert Exploration Leaders providing onboard narrative and lectures, special local guests from a wide variety of backgrounds, and the library provided on each vessel. All have forward lounges and ample outdoor deck space for viewing and photographing wildlife and scenery. All vessels are also equipped with inflatable landing boats for close-up exploration of remote areas and shore landings.
