The Cruise Outlet stopped booking Cruise West a number of months ago when the cruise line started to show indications of something not correct. All clients who did book on that line with the Cruise Outlet, were required to take out full cruise and travel insurance which would protect them in the case of default, which is what has happen.
The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) has announced that Cruise West “is cancelling all cruises that were scheduled to begin Saturday, September 18, and on all dates that follow.” With the unfortunate circumstances surrounding Cruise West, The Cruise Outlet feels confident that American Safari Cruises and new sister company InnerSea Discoveries are two leading alternatives for accommodating their passengers immediately.
American Safari Cruises operates in 4 of the same west coast destinations as Cruise West. We are offering compelling options to salvage your clients’ vacations on fall/winter 2010 and 2011 departures of Mexico’s Seas of Cortés and Columbia River, and Alaska 2011 departures. To make re-booking as easy as possible, The Cruise Outlet has set up a program with American Safari Cruises to match Cruise West fares for fall 2010/spring 2011 Columbia & Snake Rivers cruises and 25% savings for Mexico’s Sea of Cortés. Sailings in Southeast Alaska, Mexico’s Sea of Cortés and the Columbia & Snake Rivers can be rebooked on American Safari Cruises’ yachts or with the company’s new sister brand, InnerSea Discoveries, which offers moderately priced adventure cruising in Southeast Alaska starting May 2011. Both brands offer small yachts/ships, with guest capacities from 12-49 guests, exemplary service and delicious cuisine, a high crew to guest ratio and active and unique itineraries that include kayaking, stand up paddle boarding and hiking.

American Safari Cruises pioneered yacht cruising in Southeast Alaska 12 years ago, and operates three luxury yachts carrying 12, 22 and 36 guests sailing round trip from Juneau between mid-May and early September. In addition, the yachts operate on the Columbia & Snake Rivers, Mexico’s Sea of Cortés and interisland Hawaii (new for fall 2011). Guests can expect a superlative yacht experience combined with adventure in a casual, yet elegant atmosphere.
InnerSea Discoveries offers highly experiential adventure cruises aboard two 49-guest small ships, the Wilderness Adventurer and Wilderness Discoverer that will sail between Juneau and Ketchikan. The boats were purchased in October 2009 and are currently undergoing major renovations to prepare them for an outdoor-oriented small-ship experience for the 2011 Alaska season.
We welcome passengers who were booked via other means to contact us and ask for Neil Gorfain, CEO of TheCruiseOutlet.com who will personally work with each client needed assistance from the demise of Cruise West.
