AdventureSmith Explorations
Meet Alaska’s best travel style, small ship cruising, and the veteran experts ready to match you with a small, authentic and immersive Alaska cruise that’s best for you.
Alaska has 2 very distinct cruising styles: 1) via traditional big ship cruises, which average 2,000 guests but reach up to 5,000, 2) via Alaska small ship cruises, which average 40 passengers but range from 8 to 100 guests.
If Alaska’s wilderness and wildlife are your biggest “why” for going, a small ship should be your choice.
Imagine spending your days exploring close to shore to view bears and into quiet coves for included, guided activities like kayaking and hiking. Small ships have the flexibility to stop if whales are spotted. And they can spend nights in remote anchorages, allowing you to witness sunsets in the Alaskan wilderness and wake up to solitude.
If this sounds like your dream Alaska trip, then look no further.
