Day 5 Transfer
To the Ketchikan Airport, full of long-lasting memories, for your flight home.

Look closely at a map of Alaska, at the incredibly complex maze of islands and waterways along the shores of Prince William Sound and Southeast Alaska's Inside Passage. Let your imagination wander. What is it like behind this island, or at the end of that fjord? What's it like to travel through this tiny, winding channel through the wilderness, or to visit that tucked-away village?

With Cruise West, you can find out. Our seven different cruise routes range more widely, and more in-depth, than any other line. Our small ships have the ability, and our Captains the inclination, to truly explore this glorious wilderness.

Large ships in Alaska, and certainly the public ferries, tend to stick to the widest channels and the straightest routes, as they beeline from port to port, often traveling through the night. Cruising with us, however, you quickly forsake the wider shipping lanes. Rather, you'll find yourself in channels just a few hundred feet wide, or tying up to an inner pier in a tiny village's fishing harbor.

Your Captain enjoys exploring these waterways, and delights in sharing his discoveries. A great many of the waterways you will see are totally inaccessible to today's large ships. You share them with local fishermen, and perhaps a few private yachts.

In the small ports we visit, we have nourished excellent relationships with the local innkeepers, port directors, and local storytellers. That means that everywhere you travel, you have entrée to the very best experiences that each community can offer.

"What's that row of old pilings over there by the shore?," you query in Endicott Arm. "That was the dock for the Sumdum Chief Mine, which closed in 1903. They took $500,000 in gold from that mountain, from over 3,000 feet of tunnels. It's all abandoned now." A fascinating glimpse of history, now nearly vanished into the forest.

Throughout your cruise, your on-board Exploration Leader offers a treasury of information, insights and stories. He or she offers narration at key points, and evening presentations on Alaska's wildlife, natural history, and historical events. From the eating habits of humpbacks to the story of glacier ice, you'll gain a true insider's knowledge of the Great Land. And with small numbers, you're always able to talk with your Exploration Leader one-on-one, whenever you wish.
