Find The Right Adventure Cruise

You want to make sure that you go on the “right” adventure cruise for you. There are lots of things to choose from. How do you make sure that you choose the right trip, see and do everything that you’re expecting, and have the experience you want?

What do you want to see and do?

Start with what you’d like to see. Looking for glaciers, bears, and whales? Start with our Alaska trips. Want lots of time to relax while watching mile after mile of beautiful scenery unfold? You’d love our Inside Passage Trips. Only have time for a quick weekend get away? Our San Juan Islands Weekend Getaways are a perfect way to maximize your weekend time, and come back refreshed, and ready to face your week.

When can you go?

Begin with your dates. We offer different trips at different times of the season. Our Schedule and Rates page will help you to see what we have available. Not the right dates for you? We can always change our schedule (with some advance planing) and organize a special trip for you. You won’t find the big cruise ships doing that.

Which trip should you choose?

Still not sure which trip to choose? You can use this table to compare the various trips and pick the one you’d like to go on. This table shows the various trips you can go on, and what we might see and do. Of course, we can’t control the weather, the wildlife, the scenery (or the shopping), so your trip will vary from this. Everything on the chart is, however, something we’ve seen or done on the particular trip listed and shows the relative likelihood of seeing or doing it.
