Hi Raye.
"Wanted to thank you for your help in our Alaska
trip. Can't tell you how much we enjoyed going back
to my home for 2 years. The cabin worked out very
nicely. The window was more than adequate. In fact
we noticed that very few travelers were using their
balcony so the money saved was a good decision. Your
advice on the White Pass Railway was really
appreciated. It'll be difficult to take another
cruise that would be as rewarding as this one was.
But we may try again next Summer or the year after,
Any really really great bargains show up let me
know. Thanks Again."

EXCLUSIVE
Mini-Group
Rates
For as little as 6 guests, (3 cabins).
Did you know the most overlooked way to stretch your
dollar is to form your own Alaska cruise group.
Traveling with family or friends, can lower
costs enough so you can travel even when the economy
is not that good.
Every company needs that small advantage,
something to set you apart from your competitor.
Through our mini-group program, we are able to
offer even first-time cruisers discounts, cabin
upgrades, onboard credits and amenities that
help you save money and give us a competitive
edge.

" Raye, still unpacking and catching up on sleep but
we wanted to thank you for all your help in planning
our Alaska trip. We all had a wonderful time. The
weather was more than ideal. Landscapes, day trips,
wild life and the cabin were perfect. If only we had
more time to take full advantage of everything.
Thanks for all your suggestion and expert advice. We
could not of done it without you (or if we did, not
nearly as well). So many places to see in the
world, but if we head out by ship again, we'll
definitely be in touch. "

Raye & Marty Trencher's Alaska Cruise
Tips:
By Land and Sea!
An Alaska Cruise tour offers a cruise
voyage, land-based lodging, and rail
travel all in one itinerary. So, you can
get the most out of your Alaskan
adventure -- by land and sea. The best
of both worlds! Combine the 7-day Voyage
of the Glaciers cruise with a 3 to 8
night stay on land. You just have to
decide where you want to go.
Summer's the best time of year to
explore Alaska's
spectacular wonders — from Ice Age
glaciers and frontier towns to miles of
unspoiled scenery. And the bays and
mountains of Alaska are best appreciated
from your elegant cruise ship, domed
railcars and deluxe motorcoaches. Plus,
take advantage of great fares for 3rd
and 4th guests.

"I just wanted to let you
know that we just got back from our Alaska
trip....... It was Great! Took lots of pictures
(which we haven't had time to look at yet), ate
and ate and ate on the ship. I think it can be
summed up by quoting the tour director.....
"This is NOT a vacation, it IS an adventure"
Thanks so much for the wonderful dinner at the
Pinnacle Grill. The food and service was superb!
All of us really enjoyed it! Thanks again, for
all your help in coordinating our trip" --

Denali
National Park
See
Denali National Park, Mt. McKinley
and
the wildlife of Alaska.
Travel via scenic
domed railcars; deluxe,
restroom-equipped motor coaches;
Overnight at deluxe “rustic” lodges;
great wildlife and scenery only on an
Alaska cruise tour can you experience
all that Alaska has to offer.
Denali National
Park is located 240 miles
north of Anchorage, and encompasses 6
million acres of forests, tundra,
glaciers and mountains - that's larger
than the entire state of Massachusetts.
Yet only 90 miles of main road traverses
the park, leaving the moose, caribou,
sheep and bears free to roam a wide area
of land untouched by man. Denali
National Park has long been a place of
refuge for those with the will to
survive its rugged terrain. Indeed, only
the strongest plants flourish in this
world of sub-arctic wilderness. Species
of mosses, lichens, fungi, algae, and
others spangle the slopes and valleys of
Denali. Deep pools of frost collect just
beneath the park's surfaces, and only
the thinnest sheen of topsoil thaws
enough each year to stimulate new life.
But the fragile nature of the region
leads to continuous rebirth. New rivers
can spurt up in days and flowers bloom
just in time to serve as supper for
hungry wildlife.

"Thrill to white thunder in Glacier Bay, marvel at sunlight at midnight and close-ups of whales, eagles and caribou. Delight in Mt. McKinley's majesty and meadows carpeted with wildflowers. Amid unsurpassed grandeur and serenity, the true wilderness of Denali is calling." Catch sight of a humpback whale or wolf pups frolicking in the snow. Alaska is as rustic and romantic as one could ever imagine. Whales, Wonders and Wilderness... This is Alaska!
Denali National Park
When you plan your Alaskan vacation, do you plan to encounter a striking landscape, a place so expansive that it shelters more than six hundred-fifty species of flowering plants and thirty-seven mammal species?
Do you envision your Alaskan tour to include a dizzying six million acres filled with large caribou, moose, and grizzly bears, and offset with startlingly small flowers, miniaturized to suit Alaska's short growth season?
Of course we're talking about...
