Does this sound like you?- I dream of cruising Southeast Alaska, but I cringe at the thought of sailing aboard a huge cruise ship that can't get up close to the wildlife.
- I'd consider doing Alaska on my own, but I have no idea where to seek out the best spots to view whales, sea lions, seals, bears, and other animals.
- I prefer to travel with small groups of like-minded individuals.
- I want to be pampered on my Alaska cruise, but I could care less about formal night and the casino.
- I want to actually experience Alaska. I plan to hike, kayak, fish, swim, snorkel, and maybe even camp onshore.
- I'm an adventure seeker!
If that's you, visit InnerSea Discoveries' website and book an Alaska wilderness adventure. This cruise line is a new venture from the American Safari Cruises team and it focuses less on luxury and more on active, small-group adventures.
Choose from two small expedition ships: the 170-foot, 49-guest Wilderness Discoverer and the 157-foot, 49-foot Wilderness Adventurer. While the ships are small, the list of activities is long. Passengers can challenge themselves physically or simply relax. Options include hiking, paddle boarding, beachcombing, shore boat excursions, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, whale and bird watching, glacier viewing, yoga sessions, fishing, and more. There are even cave exploration excursions and overnight camping options on shore.
There are two seven-night itineraries available from Ketchikan to Juneau. One direction explores the western region and the reverse itinerary explores the eastern region. There's no duplication on the two itineraries, so you can create a 14-night round-trip back-to-back.
InnerSea Discoveries calls their trips the "un-cruise" and they are ideally suited for anyone who eschews traditional big ship cruising. Seven-night expeditions start at $1,795 per person, double occupancy.
The inaugural season of InnerSea Discoveries begins May 21, 2011 and lasts through September 3, 2011. Learn more from your travel agent or contact InnerSea Discoveries at 1-(877) 901-1009.
