This allows for personal experiences without the crowding of the larger ships. The smaller boats allow for trips into areas their larger cousins cannot navigate. You can see towns and villages without elbowing people down the gang plank. It should be against the rules to have to stake a place at the rail just to see the best that nature offers. On a small ship cruise, you will not have to do that. Your trip will be more personal and memorable.
Fjords are narrow valleys of mountain valleys meeting deep ocean depths. The larger cruise lines cannot fit their vessels into these narrow spaces. Small ship Alaska cruises can. They can take you to spaces along the coast that many tourists miss. Eagles soar from the cliffs in the Misty Fjord National Monument. The cliffs are often home to mountain goats. Whales and dolphin play in the depths below the ship. In the Tracy Arm Fjord, you can see wolf, bear and an occasional harbor seal. Floating ice makes the oceans icy and beautiful. On a larger ship, these experiences would be missed.
Your accommodations on board will give you rest and relaxation. You can stay in a small cozy cabin or relax in a deluxe suite. Entertainment may be less than what is on board the larger ships, but you will not miss it. The crew has more time to make their guests comfortable and the trip the best. Boats can be launched from the ship to take excursions into narrow passageways or to small villages along the coast. You can expect the food to be better on the small ship Alaska cruises because it is prepared by the finest chefs. Fresh ingredients are mixed with seafood just caught to make dining the best.
If you want to visit the big cities, many small ship Alaska cruises can take you there. They can also visit the towns and villages along the coast. Many of these places are not visited by the larger cruises because they cannot make port. This means you will get an experience without the cruise line crowds. Shopping and dining await you. Come back to your cabin and sleep the night away dreaming of the next days adventures. All of this can be done on the smaller ships that cruise the Alaskan coastal waters. Take a trip to the great white North.
