Welcome Our New "Family" Members

I am very excited to announce the addition of two beautiful U.S. flagged ships to our fleet – the 102-guest Nantucket Clipper, and the 138-guest Yorktown Clipper – recently acquired from Clipper Cruise Line. These two vessels are sister ships to our Spirit of Endeavour, formerly the Newport Clipper, and together represent the most significant and strategic evolution in our company since acquiring the ocean-going Spirit of Oceanus five years ago. These boats represent the culmination of many years of planning and negotiation. This growth would not be possible without our wonderful family of associates and professionals and, of course, your continued support of our small-ship programs! We now have 10 small ships with operations extending from Maine to Japan – from Fiji and the South Pacific to the Arctic Ocean!

Adding these two modern, comfortable ships gives us some wonderful homogeneity in our small-ship fleet. In addition, through this acquisition, we have immediately added 11 new itineraries and destinations from Chicago and the Great Lakes, through the St. Lawrence Seaway, down the Atlantic seaboard to the Caribbean, as well as new capacity on the west coast and Alaska.

Clipper Cruise Line has a great reputation for providing excellent service, which we plan to continue and enhance. We look forward to welcoming you aboard our new “family members!” To encourage you to try some of these new itineraries on the Atlantic coast, we are offering special introductory pricing, along with special Quyana member shipboard credits, in addition to your standard 5% Quyana discount!

Come join us – help us welcome our new “family” members into the Cruise West fleet!
