North to Alaska!!!


For the second season, Dee will be headed to the Inside Passage of Alaska as an Exploration Leader with Cruise West. She is the on-board naturalist and Cruise Director all rolled into one. "Most people who talk to me about Alaska think it is too cold, all ice and polar bears. In reality, the Inside Passage is a temperate rain forest and although cool, around 54F give or take a few degrees, it is a beautiful, lush place." Dee will be aboard the M/V Spirit of Endeavour. This ship is 217 feet in length and accommodates 102 guests maximum. The Endeavour will be taking guests one way from Ketchikan to Juneau or reverse for 9 days and 8 nights. The trip will include Misty Fjords National Monument, Petersberg, Frederick Sound and Tracy Arm, Sitka, Glacier Bay NP, Skagway and Haines. Wildlife that has been seen include: Bald Eagles, Brown Bears, Black Bears, Gray Wolves, Mountain Goats, Humpback Whales, Orca, Tufted and Horned Puffins...just to name a few. If you would like more information please contact GTG.
