Rare rjm11 Posted January 18, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Has anyone replaced Cruise West's niche of 3 and 4 night cruises through Prince William Sound out of Whittier? I am hoping to do a primarily land tour next year, and originally planned to include this as part of it.... but I can't seem to find any outfitters who are doing this. There are 2 and 3 nights in Glacier Bay, but not PWS..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugaltravel Posted January 18, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Cruise West is no longer. They went belly up a year or two ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaves Posted January 18, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Check the Whittier Chamber of Commerce web site. (Then check out any vendors with the Better Business Bureau.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chenega Posted January 18, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Sadly those cruises are gone with the demise of Cruise West. Other than chartering from one of the smaller companies, no one has stepped in with a replacement itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rjm11 Posted January 18, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Cruise West is no longer. They went belly up a year or two ago. yes, that's why I was asking if anyone replaced their niche.... I know that some of the ships went to Innersea discoveries.... which looks really cool, but is only inside passage stuff (7 night)..... I'll check the Whittier chamber of commerce, but I'm guessing that these things won't be businesses that are based in Whittier..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugaltravel Posted January 18, 2012 #6 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Actually there are at least a couple of boat operators in Whittier who will do overnight trips. Not sure if they will extend those to multiple nights and/or would do exactly what you are looking for, and/or at the price point you might be looking at, but I know there are options out of Whittier. That link mentioned above will direct you to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaciers Posted January 18, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Alaskan Dream Cruises pick up one of the Cruise West boats and is doing a 3-day but it's out of Juneau-Glacier Bay-Sitka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rjm11 Posted January 18, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Thanks everyone... it's too bad no one has started these on a more regular basis. Maybe they weren't all that popular (hence Cruise West's trouble staying profitable?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
