Fan of small group travel? Like the idea of a cruise but just want a little more adventure? An eco-cruise might be for you! These offer small group, hands-on explorations in some of the most beautiful places in the Americas. With a constant eye on treading lightly, smaller boats and yachts introduce adventurers to places, encounters, and activities that will leave quite the impression in your life! The Mission Statement? To provide guests an enriching adventure travel experience and inspire an appreciation of local cultures and the natural world. The boats can serve as your platform in Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, Mexico’s Sea of Cortés, Columbia & Snake Rivers, and Coastal Washington & British Columbia. Expert Captains and guides lead you on adventure. Filled with unspoiled encounters, the focus is on activities and excursions that complement the wilderness, wildlife and culture in each destination—to change the way you see the world! Most activities are included in these sailings. You can visit local communities and learn about the way the locals live, hike through secluded forest or desert trails, walk on a glacier, kayak in a secluded cove, or take a skiff ride to explore the shoreline and spot wildlife. These cruises also actively promote environmental protection through education, actions and initiatives that promote responsible travel. They understand that ecosystems are fragile and important environments. They focus on purchasing locally for ship meals, excursions, and cultural tours. In addition, they make donations to many organizations in the destinations they service. Whether it’s a monetary donation to the Maui Reef Fund or providing potable drinking water to fishermen in Mexico, they are on the pulse of what their locations need! If anything, it’s not only a fascinating way to look at the world, but an educational one that can be enjoyed by many generations.
