AdventureSmith Explorations, the leader in small-ship adventure cruises, is making it easier than ever to explore less frequented areas of Alaska with new cruise itineraries and charters. This summer, travelers can circumnavigate Prince William Sound for the first time aboard a 36-guest yacht, participate in a new ice-focused itinerary in the Inside Passage, or design their own private experience of North America’s premier wilderness aboard an 8-12 passenger chartered ship.

The active travel company that secures matches between adventure-seeking clients and a treasure trove of small, expedition ships, AdventureSmith Explorations, beckons families with a line-up of 2012 child-friendly cruises from Alaska to Borneo.
