Save 20% on Coastal Odyssey Route - Sept. 3, 2008 aboard the Spirit of Oceanus

The most rewarding exploration of Alaska focuses on the Great Land itself-the islands, seascapes, glaciers, wildlife-and the friendly people and their unique cultures and communities. The comfortable small ships of Cruise West are simply the best-and sometimes the only-way to explore the natural wonders of Alaska up-close. Observe wildlife and glaciers at close range. Experience the unexpected delights that can result when there is the flexibility to change plans at a moment's notice, and to access areas where a big ship couldn't hope to go. Your Cruise West Exploration Leader and guest speakers will provide educational and entertaining insights to your cruise experience. AK_2008.pdf
