Theme Cruises

In 2009 Cruise West is offering several “Special Event” cruises revolving around Christmas and New Year’s as well as Themes such as Chairman's, President's or Photography.




Chairman's Cruise
Join Dick West, Chairman and Managing Director, and his family on one of his favorite cruise itineraries. Mingle with the “top gun” and enjoy a reception hosted by Dick – now that’s up-close and personal!
President's Cruise
In Search of El Dorado with Cruise West President, Dietmar Wertanzl, aboard the Spirit of Oceanus on October 13, 2010. Ancient Mayan ruins, European explorers, lush tropical flora, and warm, crystalline waters are combined in this leisurely and relaxing voyage. You’ll visit ancient Mayan ruins. Hop into one of our Zodiac boats and head out for prime snorkeling and bird watching. Learn about Panama’s colonial past in Portobello, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And transit the Panama Canal, a modern engineering miracle.





Photographers' Cruises
Traveling with Cruise West means getting up-close and personal with the scenery, wildlife and people in some of the world’s most beautiful destination – in short, it’s a photographer’s dream. Which is exactly why we offer Photographers’ Cruises on select itineraries.

At no additional cost, these departures are accompanied by a photographer guest speaker, who will conduct special field events and work with you one-on-one throughout the cruise. Whether novice or seasoned photographers, you will receive valuable hands-on instruction on everything from image composition and digital image management to tips on how to be in the “right place at the right time”.

While many of our guests are photography enthusiasts, our Photographers’ Cruises are for everyone. Each departure includes a full menu of activities as well as the expertise of our Exploration Leaders. Due to the popularity of these cruises, you’ll want to book early – small ships book up quickly!

NOTE: Look for the camera icon in the Dates & Rates section of each cruise.
