Small Ship Alaska Cruises

One of the most intimate ways of cruising in Alaska is by small ships. As the name suggests guests get to travel in small ships rather than big cruise lines. Big cruise lines typically have in average 1500 to 3500 cruisers, and there is even a talk of building bigger cruise lines, the likes of which would hold more than 5000 cruise passengers. It is easy to get lost in big crowd, and that is one of the main reasons why a cruiser would opt for small ship Alaska cruises, which typically hold about 100 or less passengers.

With ships being small, the cruises can navigate through channels which are not possible to navigate aboard big cruise ships. It sets up a great opportunity to explore a real Alaska with unique excursions visiting towns and communities often left behind by big cruises. Exotic spots like Misty Fjords National Monument, Tracy Arm Fjords or Dawes Glacier can only be accessed by small ships.

Off the beaten path trips and cruises are the hallmark of small ship Alaska cruises. If that is what you are looking for, then you have made the right choice. However, small ship Alaska cruises comes with higher price tag and lesser amenities aboard these smaller cruise ships.
