Why do a 1-night, 1-way cruise? Because they are fun and a great way to sample a cruise and do a quick getaway! Check out short videos on this YouTube playlist to see what all the buzz is about!
When we return to Vancouver, you take the Amtrak train or motorcoach/shuttles to back in Seattle by the afternoon or take the day to explore Vancouver and head back in the evening. Even if you've been there, there's still so much to experience.
On the cruise there are freshwater pools & hot tubs, casinos, shows, night club along with unlimited lunch, dinner, breakfast and snacks. Party or relax, it's all up to you! This is a fun way to meet and party with others in this and the other groups. For those coming up early or staying later, get your hotel at special package rates via the booking form - a one-stop shop experience!

Despite being part of the United States, Alaska is as far from Uncle Sam’s cities as can be imagined. This is where landscape stretches as far as the eye can see. Where mouth-wateringly fresh, delicious food is served at every mealtime. Where locals are warm and welcoming and can’t wait to meet you. Where you can witness nature in all her raiment from flora to fauna. Join us as we sail the craggy coasts of this other side of America. Just don’t forget your camera!
