Welcome to American Safari Cruises

The moment you step aboard the yachts of American Safari Cruises you'll know you've found something special. Your Captain personally welcomes you, and the crew greets you with hors d'oeuvres and champagne as your yacht cruise begins. You have become a pampered guest, one of the very few, who will leave the crowds behind to journey through some of the most magnificent destinations in western North America and Hawaii.

Our yachts cruise during daylight hours only, maximizing the opportunity to experience the destination and to view wildlife. Each inclusive yacht cruise or yacht charter features a professional Expedition Leader/Naturalist and local guides that provide educational lectures and narration on the destinations as well as arrange behind-the-scenes visits, shore excursions and guided hikes.

Accommodations are elegant in a casual atmosphere. The staterooms feature TV/DVD players, private baths, some with Jacuzzi tubs, Tempurpedic® memory foam mattresses and heated tile bathroom floors. Our flagship yacht, the Safari Explorer, has NEW Commodore Suites featuring a separate sitting area and a sliding glass door overlooking a small balcony. The Safari Explorer also offers an overall spa influence with complimentary massages from an onboard masseuse, yoga classes, sauna, and on-deck whirlpool spa and exercise equipment.

Our inclusive yacht cruises and charters provide exceptional cuisine, complimentary fine wines, premium spirits and a 2-to-1 guest-crew ratio. In addition to exercise equipment and a whilrpool spa, each of the yachts carries mountain bikes, kayaks, skiffs and other watercraft, and their relatively small size enables them to go where big ships cannot.

Whether you are at anchor in the deep reaches of a glacial fjord in Alaska, viewing a mother bear with her cubs along the British Columbia coast, snorkeling among sea lions in Mexico's Sea of Cortés, following the path of Lewis & Clark on the Columbia and Snake Rivers, tasting wine in Washington’s wine country or scuba diving off the islands of Hawaii, American Safari Cruises will take you there in luxurious, personal style.
