At Alaska Cruises & Vacations, small ship cruising is our passion! We know that small ship cruises through the pristine waters and glacier carved islands of the Inside Passage will get you up close to what we think you are coming to Alaska to see, the real Alaska! Scenic wonders, marine wildlife, outdoor adventure all can be had from the comfort of your ship and give you more of an Alaska experience than just a trip!
Whether you are interested in wildlife viewing, family adventures, history and culture or just relaxing and soaking in the views, there are many great cruise lines with itineraries & activities to fit every need.
Alaska is huge. The Inside Passage is just a small part of the whole state yet still larger than many states and has more coastline than just about anywhere else! But some of the most amazing experiences are up close in tiny out of the way areas in this part of Alaska. Most of these gorgeous locations are sprinkled across the Inside Passage, hidden from the traditional larger ships. In a big ship not only will you cruise right past in a bigger ship, you won’t even know these areas are there. You want to come to Alaska for it’s grandeur, raw beauty and wildlife opportunities right? Why not actually get out WHERE you can really immerse yourself and SEE the Alaska you envision!
We’re glad you asked that. A small ship cruise is an all inclusive, highly immersive vacation wrapped up into one. We do point out that although a small ship cruise is generally more expensive than a large ship cruise, it is easily 10 times the experience. So if you are an experiential traveler and want an up close, personal Alaskan adventure, a small ship cruise will certainly blow you and your guests away immersing you in everything Alaska’s Inside Passage has to offer.
Small Ship cruise costs typically start in the $3500-4000 per person range for the 7 night itineraries in off-peak seasons of early spring and late fall. Peak season starts in the $4500 per person range all the way to the upper ranges for higher end luxury and longer trips at 10K or more. Don’t worry there are many great small ship cruise companies so there’s a ship and itinerary for every price, activity level and style. What’s your budget? $10,000, $15,000 ...or more! Let us know and we’ll put a package together for you!
