Cruise line offers up close and personal views
Maple Leaf Adventures is not selling large amenity-rich ships and bustling ports but instead is taking a more personal approach.
"With only eight guest spaces, and five crew, the cruise is an intimate, luxurious way to experience the whales and wildlife of the Great Bear Rainforest, the First Nations culture and communities of Haida Gwaii (the Queen Charlotte Islands), and the historical towns of Alaska.
With Maple Leaf Adventures, "guests don’t just steam by these far-flung communities and incredible wildlife viewing opportunities at 20 knots." Their boats anchor in remote bays and allow our guests to explore by kayak, shore boat and on foot with an experienced local guide or our onboard naturalist," said Kevin Smith, president of Maple Leaf Adventures.
On some isolated islands, Maple Leaf guests are the only visitors.
A typical cruise is the "Alaska Super Voyage," which offers both wildlife and history.
It has "icebergs, newborn seal pups, school bus-sized whales, brown bears and historical towns and villages."
The 12-day voyage is priced at $6,780 which includes all shore excursions, meals, accommodations and use of gear on board.
