Alaska Coastal Odyssey from Vancouver to Whittier
(for Anchorage)
A 16-day cruise holiday including Vancouver (2 nights),
cruising the Alaska coast, bays and glaciers on the Spirit
of Oceanus (11 nights) and Vancouver (1 night)
Cruise from Vancouver to Alaska through some of the world’s
most beautiful coastal and island scenery exploring the entire
Inside Passage between British Columbia and Glacier Bay National
Park, and the spectacular Gulf of Alaska coast.
Smaller and more informal then most ships cruising in these
waters, the MV Spirit of Oceanus can negotiate remote waterways
and get closer to the wildlife and glaciers of the Alaska
fjords and coast.
The Spirit of Oceanus takes you to ports other cruise lines
don't (or can't) reach, and brings you close to shore to find
puffins in Glacier Bay, seals and sea otters in the Kenai
Fjords, and bears feeding along the shoreline of Admiralty
Island.
This luxurious ship opens up whole new horizons with its
unique style of 'up-close, casual small-ship cruising'. The
ship hosts just 114 guests in comfortable outside cabins,
each with a picture window or porthole. Each cabin features
twin or king-sized beds, an in-room safe plus satellite telephone
and internet access.
