Cruise West Spirit of '98 is a lovely small ship. They call her the "Movie Star". She has a turn of the cnetury decor  with 96 passengers.


As you know the small ship experience is totally different than a large ship in Alaska. The small ship has the entertainment outside of the ship. Whales, that can splash in your face they are so close, up close and personal with glaciers, where the crew will pick up a piece of glacier ice for your drinks that night, a totally differenet experience.


I might mention that the small ship experiece is much more expensive than your large cruise ship. However, you do not need to spend money on shore excursions on a small ship, everything is seen from your ship so the value evens out.


I am a  small ship specialist and can answer your questions.
