As we venture towards a new year, I can't help but wonder... where did 2016 go? It seems like just yesterday I was dreaming of the adventures I would take in 2016. Did you take the time in 2016 to do amazing things? Did you see the wonders of the world? 

This week, our agents chose Alaska as our destination for the e-newsletter. It's the last 'wild' frontier in the US. Small ship cruises are the best way to visit - the small ships can maneuver close to shore in search of wildlife sightings, and the Captains are experienced in watching for whale pods and other animals. And the ships can get right up next to a glacier in hops of hearing a glacier calve.

Cruise National Geographic with Lindblad's new expedition small ship, the NG Quest! Their inaugural cruise will be their first positioning cruise to Alaska. Join the new 100-passenger ship on its 12-night cruise from Seattle to Sitka, watching for dolphins and whales, deer and bears and more all along the way! This cruise is an expedition, so be ready to actively experience the natural wonders of Alaska.

2017 Departures: June 26 northbound; Sept 2 southbound.

Prices start at $9390 pp/do
