Coming May 18th, 2012 you have the opportunity to take a 9-day Alaskan cruise starting at just $598 with Educational Opportunities! You'll visit beautiful locations such as Juneau and Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska; Victoria, British Columbia and you will depart from Seattle Washington.
During your trip there will also be faith-based lectures from Dr. Bob Tuttle; Professor at Asbury University (Orlando) and author of over a dozen books including Shortening the Leap, From Honest Doubt to Enduring Faith. Here are some highlights of the cruise itinerary:
Juneau: The capital of Alaska, was founded during a gold rush in 1880. Today, the former gold-mining town counts among its riches some of Alaska's most spectacular scenery. Nestled at the foot of Mt. Juneau in the Alaska Panhandle, it faces the water from the mainland side of Gastineau Channel. Several magnificent fjords are located along the channel coast, and the majestic Mendenhall Glacier, a favorite of visitors, is nearby.
Tracy Arm Fjord: Nestled between 3,000-foot high granite walls, the narrow, twisting slice of ocean called Tracy Arm Fjord weaves through the Tongass National Forest for roughly 35 miles. The shoreline is spotted with waterfalls created by melting snowcaps and trees sprouting at odd angles from rocky outcroppings. You will have ample time to admire the landscape and perhaps catch sight of a few native animals as you cruise through this port.
Victoria, British Columbia: Located on the southern tip on the island of Vancouver in British Columbia, the city of Victoria is probably best known for its mild climate and active outdoor lifestyle. (In fact, the city has been named the "fittest city" in Canada more than once.) As the capital of British Columbia, the city is very tourist-friendly. Among the many attractions are world-famous gardens, its 150 years of British history, gourmet dining and fantastic shopping.
