I accompanied a group of 12 to Alaska this past summer. We flew into Seattle, saw some of the sights, and then flew to Juneau to start our Adventure Cruise. What a wonderful Adventure. We saw glaciers, hump-back whales and other fascinating things…we would do this again. Thank you for such a great time!

I appreciated all the information that was given before I left on the trip. Our Guide, Jerry filled in all the other interesting information on what to expect. I felt safe, well feed and learned so much from a trip 45 mins from USA…I want people to see the beauty of the country, the people and their wonderful culture. I so loved the music. I am playing the CD’s often that I bought from the musicians. A trip I would like to do again. Thank you.
