"Enhancements include more enticing images that relate to specific itineraries and improved navigation enabling consumers, travel agents and media to easily locate the information they are seeking," said President & CEO Dietmar R. Wertanzl. "Our goal with the redesign was to excite through imagery and offer concise content that will answer their questions and provoke interest in Cruise West products."
Cruises are now searchable by destination, interest, departure date, duration of cruise and ship. A robust video gallery allows consumers to view clips from select cruise destinations that illustrate what to expect from a Cruise West voyage. Further, there is a schedule of live online Webinar presentations, where consumers and travel agents can learn more about Cruise West and specific cruise destinations. The Webinars are designed to be informative and each presentation offers a question and answer session.

Cruise West offers the opportunity to explore remote and distinctive destinations throughout North and Central America, Asia, South Pacific and Europe. Small-ship cruising allows for personalized experiences not offered by larger cruise lines. Guest capacities aboard Cruise West's nine ships range from 78-138. Guests may expect personal enrichment through insightful shore programs, onboard narrative and presentations by local experts from a wide variety of backgrounds. In addition, destination specific materials and an array of books are provided in the onboard library on every vessel. Cruise West considers it a privilege to access some of the world's most pristine wilderness areas and culturally rich countries. With this in mind, Cruise West views itself as good stewards and encourages crew and guests to act responsibly with respect to the environment and diverse cultures visited.
