In Harriman’s Wake - Travel in the Historic Wake of the Harriman Expedition Cruise - 25D /24N

BearCruise In Harriman’s Wake from Vancouver to Nome and the Russian Far East. This cruise is a magnificent combination of our two Grand Voyages and an adventure not to be missed. This once-in-a-lifetime journey follows the famed 1899 expedition of Edward Henry Harriman on the beautiful Spirit of Oceanus. See thundering calving glaciers, amazing wildlife, and visit the homeland of welcoming distant cultures. In 1899, America’s most powerful railroad magnate, Edward Henry Harriman, personally organized and funded what was to become the most significant scientific expedition ever undertaken in Alaskan waters. Today you can follow in their wake.

Spirit of Oceanus
Cruise West’s first oceangoing vessel is also our most spacious and luxurious. Equipped with stabilizers, the Spirit of Oceanus opens up whole new horizons for our style of up-close, casual small-ship cruising. In Alaska, that means the Gulf of Alaska and the remote vastness of the Aleutian Islands and the Bering Sea. Our flagship hosts just 120 guests in comfortable outside suites, each with a picture window or porthole. The 15 suites on the Sun and Sports Decks feature private teak balconies, the first in our fleet. Other cabin amenities unique to the Spirit of Oceanus include a walk-in closet or wardrobe, a large marble bathroom, and a lounge area. Each suite also features an in-room safe and satellite telephone access
