Clipper Cruise Lines

Unlike many of the larger cruise lines, which aim to please everyone, Clipper Cruise Lines is a small ship cruise line with a clear goal: provide top-of-the-line adventure cruises for nature
lovers. Their mission statement to provide discerning travelers with a thoughtful way to see great natural beauty. To this end, they use small ships with access to secluded waterways that 800-passenger cruise ship would never consider.

Like many birds, Clipper Cruise line ships are migratory and follow the sun, northbound in the summer and southbound in the winter, always ready for spontaneous discoveries -- a pod of whales, a school of dolphins, or a scenic highlight. Their crews provide a welcoming, unpretentious environment, leaving you free to set your own pace. You may opt to explore on
your own, join a shore tour, or just relax on deck or in our smoke-free lounge.

Unique in Priorities and Style
With its emphasis on natural beauty and less-charted waters, it's no surprise that a Clipper Cruise Line vacation would feature wonderfully fresh cuisine. Clipper has established an ongoing relationship with some of the most prestigious culinary institutes in America, the source of our outstanding chefs. Using the freshest of ingredients possible - seafood, fruits, vegetables - they prepare each meal from scratch, just as one would expect in a small gourmet restaurant ashore. They feature healthy American and regionally influenced cuisine and offer a variety of choices at each meal, including "light" selections and half portions. Each dish is individually cooked to order, and passengers enjoy single leisurely open seatings, providing opportunities to make new
friends.

The lifestyle aboard Clipper ships is informal and relaxed, with an ambiance made possible by
small numbers of passengers and excellent service provided by our personable young crew. All of the ships feature well-appointed interiors that provide welcome settings without being ostentatious, and all have elegant, window-lined dining rooms and lounges, as well as in comfortable, all-outside cabins. If you're looking for a cruise line to take you to the fjords of Norway on a honeymoon cruise, or planning a cruise vacation to the real Alaska, Clipper Cruise Lines might be just the company for you.
