Alaska Cruises
The Empress of the North offers Alaska Inside Passage cruises. Cruise guests have the opportunity to see the "real" Alaska, up close, since steamboats have a shallow draft and can go where larger cruise ships cannot.
This cruise is perfect for persons who enjoy small ship cruising, concentrating on wildlife viewing and history. Visit famous gold rush towns and learn about the trappers, gold seekers, and explorers who "built" Alaska.
The Northwest Rivers of the United States Pacific Northwest offer some of the most scenic cruising available with lush forests, rugged canyons, unique bridges, magnificant waterfalls, wildlife habitats, historical venues, more locks and dams than a Panama Canal cruise.
