Currently, the Canadian dollar is substantially lower than the US dollar.

As a result, when you convert the price of our trips to USD, it works out to about 20 to 25% less. (Even our Alaska trips, which are priced in Canadian dollars.) 

For example, on Nov 2, 2018, a trip priced at CAD $5,000 would be about USD $3810!

Take your family and friends for a journey through the natural and cultural history of the British Columbia / Alaska coast.

Our boutique ships are perfect for full ship charters – an extended family can fill a ship for a personalized trip. (Contact us about the possibility of larger groups.)

And, you can charter an entire trip with fewer people than a full ship, too!

Full Ship Charter Bookings vs. Family and Friends Trips (Booking As Individuals)

1. Full Ship Charter

• Chartering a full trip as a group with one payment for deposit and one payment for final balance.
• If a member of the group decides they cannot come, the booking still stands at the same price because the trip is the exclusive charter of the entire ship.
• On the tugboat Swell: Is for up to 12 guests. The fare is the equivalent of the fare for 12 guests, plus the sustainability fee and GST.
• On catamaran Cascadia: Is for up to 24 guests (22 in Haida Gwaii). The fare is the equivalent of the fare for 24 guests, plus the sustainability fee and GST. *Special rates may apply for 2019, contact us for more information.
• On the schooner Maple Leaf: Is for up to 8 guests*. The fare is the equivalent of the fare for 8 guests, plus the sustainability fee and GST. *Contact us about a possible additional guest or two on the Maple Leaf only.

2. Family-Friends Trip with Individual Bookings

• Exclusive right to book onto a trip for a set period of time, in order for a series of friends and family members to all book the same trip together.
• Includes a deadline after which other people can book onto the trip if it is not fully booked by the friends and family members.
• Does not exclusively reserve the trip, unless the trip is filled up by the friends/ family members.
• Each party books and pays individually. If they cancel, the regular booking refund policy applies. Their place would be filled either by other friends/family members in the group or by other people who would like to book on the trip. This is governed by the exclusive booking deadline.

Trips do start filling early, so to reserve a full ship charter, please contact us as soon as you are able, so that you can get the dates you want.

For decades, many solo travellers have enjoyed their trips and come back to experience more of the coast with us. Why?

It’s Experiential

Every minute on a trip can be a great experience, as we are travelling with just a small number of guests on beautiful ships, full of character. Our expert guides, mariners and crew are always available for conversation or to share their skills — it’s like having a number of other build-in solo travellers already on the trip with you. And because our trips are taken by people who want to really experience the nature and culture of an area, there is a great camaraderie that builds, between all guests.

Flexible Booking Options

Maple Leaf (schooner): There is no single supplement. Instead, you share a sleeping area with one other person of the same sex. But this trip is not about being in your bed — it’s about watching wildlife on deck, sharing a great meal in the galley, going ashore, touring in the small boats, and so on.

 Swell (tugboat): Book one of her cozy cabins to yourself for less than the price for two people in it, and for 150% of the price of a shared single.

Cascadia (catamaran): When you book, let us know you’re if you’re interested in sharing a cabin with another person of the same sex and if we can, we’ll match you up with a roommate. If you book a cabin to yourself, it’s the same 50% single supplement. If you share, we refund the single supplement.
