San Juan and Taste of Gulf Islands Cruise - 7 day
Our cruising region is comprised of hundreds of islands
ranging from small rocky outcrops to large forest-clad
and mountainous masses. The waters are rich with seafood...
salmon, rockfish, scallops, Dungeness Crab, mussels and
clams. Wildlife abounds on the land and in the sea.
You're just as likely to encounter tiny squirrels,
deer and migratory birds, as you are to see seals,
Sea lions, and Orcas. Have you ever seen a whale breach...
heard the whoosh of air exhaling through its blowhole or
been amazed by the sheer beauty of a pod of Orcas gliding
through glassy waters?
