This Pacific Northwest whale-watching cruise is more intimate, less intrusive

Romantic elegance

Sailing with Outer Shores Expeditions is not only a less intrusive foray into this unique marine habitat, it’s also one of the most civilized. Built in Victoria, British Columbia, in 1974, Passing Cloud is a beautifully appointed, sturdy ship designed by William James Roué, who built the famous racing schooner Bluenose — commemorated on the Canadian dime.

Equipped for oceanic voyages, this elegant ship has all the modern gizmos — radar, GPS, VHF radios, EPIRB, digital chart plotter, and satellite phones.
