Dear Adventurers,

                   An Un-Cruise adventure is unlike any other vacation. For many, it is a life changing experience. Nature
                   and wildlife as you’ve never experienced it. As CEO and co-founder of the company, I’d like to share
                   with you the inspiration behind the Un-Cruise.

                   I grew up on boats, lived on boats, and have worked on boats most of my life. At 27 years old, I made
                   a life changing decision to sell my marine business in Washington and take a job as captain of a day
                   tour boat in Alaska’s Glacier Bay National Park. My wife, baby boy and I made the long trip up on our
 Welcome           sailboat—one of many adventures.

 Aboard!           After a summer of showing visitors the grandeur of the glaciers, wildlife and wilderness and listening to
                   park rangers talk about ecosystems, their vast knowledge seeped into my brain and opened my eyes
                   to the natural world. The vast rivers of ice. The thundering sound when a chunk calves into the sea.
                   Listening to the sound of whales blowing nearby. I was a changed man. I wanted to share its beauty with
                   others in hopes of instilling that same wonder of nature and desire to conserve the wilderness for future
                   generations. And that inspiration leads us to today.

                   Uncover your Un–Cruise Adventure—then pack your bags and venture into some of nature’s most
                   exciting playgrounds for active exploration, eye–to–eye wildlife encounters, and living history. I invite you
                   to join us, and discover something special yourself.


                   Choose to Un-Cruise!

The Un-Cruise Story
             Unrushed. Uncrowded. Unbelievable.

What began in 1997 as yacht cruising in Alaska, pioneered by American Safari Cruises,
has evolved and flourished into a style of exploration we call Un-Cruise Adventures—
unmatched, hands-on small boat expeditions under the parent company of InnerSea
Discoveries. Today, the Un-Cruise concept offers several styles to choose from: Active
Adventures; Luxury Adventures; Heritage Adventures; and Charter Adventures—each
offering an alternative to traditional cruising. Explore areas inaccessible to larger ships, step
ashore in small communities, and get up-close with wildlife.


Our mission is this: Provide our guests an enriching adventure travel experience and inspire
an appreciation of local cultures and the natural world.


Small group travel is the heart of what we do. Our small yachts and expedition boats serve as
your platform in Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, Mexico’s Sea of Cortés, the Columbia & Snake
Rivers, and in the coastal waters of Washington & British Columbia. Expert Captains and guides
lead you on adventure—trekking into forests and engaging in local communities; kayaking
and skiff rides through serene wilderness; exploring along shore and searching for wildlife.
Un-Cruise Adventures are flexible and vary in order to limit impacts on fragile ecosystems.
Filled with unspoiled encounters, they focus on activities and excursions that complement the
wilderness, wildlife and culture in each destination—to change the way you see the world.


                                                                                                    Unexpected.   | 3

                   Uncommon casual adventures fully-focused on delivering unexpected experiences—

                   its natural environment; personal exchanges behind the scenes with locals; unmatched

                   presentations innovatively highlight your days. Whether you’re in the wilds of Alaska,
                   sunning in the Hawaiian Islands or Sea of Cortés, or honing your inner explorer in the
                   Pacific Northwest—we deliver.


                   Guests rave about the Un-Cruise experience and often comment on how genuine our
                   crew is, but our secret is really quite simple… we’re doing what makes us, and you,
                   happy; we work in thriving environments; we promote good health in our bodies and
                   on our planet; and we enjoy the freedom from perpetual hurry. We take life in and
                   give it back—and the best part… is sharing it all with you.

                                       Each style offers a distinct focus, personality, and range of activities. And depending on which style you choose

Activity Levels &
Action
Get Ready. Get Set. Go.

You could be kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) one morning and snorkeling
the next. Another day may offer a gentle afternoon shore walk or have you feeling the
muscles burn with a rigorous hike (even a little bushwhacking). And if you just feel like
taking it easy, that’s okay, too. For those who take their adventure on the lighter side,
you can enjoy riding in the skiff or chatting up the Captain on the bridge.


Whether you are looking for mild, moderate or rigorous outdoor pursuits, or a
more Zen wilderness experience, we offer activities to suit a variety of skill levels.
We rank our trekking excursions with an activity level to ensure the right fit: 1 – Easy;
2 – Moderate; 3 – Challenging; 4 – Strenuous; 5 – Difficult. Depending on where
you might be exploring, the Expedition Leaders and guides on board will provide
the insight needed for you to make a safe and enjoyable choice.


Gearing Up
Each expedition boat is equipped with top-of-the-line kayaks and SUPs. There is a
nominal daily use charge for snorkeling gear (except in Hawaii) and wet suits. Limited
quantities of hiking poles, binoculars, mud boots, and rain gear are available on board
for your use, but to ensure availability, fit, and comfort, we strongly encourage you to
bring your own. A detailed packing list is available on our website.

Activities may include:
   u Whale watching

   u Unbelievable kayaking and SUPing

   u Inflatable boat excursions

   u Morning yoga and stretching

   u Treks in the wilderness, to a cave, or along shore

   u Unequaled glacier viewing

   u Untamed wildlife observation

   u “Polar bear plunges”

   u Tropical beachcombing

                    snorkel gear, hiking poles, and rubber boots—are always provided. Connecting with your
                    environment happens naturally. Nature and encounters set the pace.

Comforts &
Exclusivity
Living the Good Life

Take a breather. Have a fantastic, easy-going day—stroll along a beach or take a
2-hour trek at modest elevation or to a “great to be alive” waterfall. Back on board,
go for a shore-hugging spin in the kayak or skiff, then into the hot tub for a double
bubbly of muscle warming and complimentary champagne. Nothing too extreme
and surely something you’ll feel good about. Inside and out.


Our small guest numbers keep your experience exclusive and personal. We engage
local experts to ensure you have an opportunity to learn as much about what you are
seeing and experiencing as you want. Experiences on or off the boat are designed to
provide adventures few travelers ever experience.


Personal Comforts
Each of our upscale boats is designed with your comfort in mind and appointed
with thoughtful touches that invite you to relax and unwind. Your crew sees to the
smallest details, each one eager to make your adventure extra special.

                    Long, long ago and far away… there’s no actual time travel involved; however, you will
                    transcend the modern era. Relive days of yore aboard a replica Victorian steamer on
                    an unparalleled journey. History comes to life. Learn and feel the spirit of an illustrious
                    past, with exhibits ashore and onboard Legacy reenactments, where our Legacy Leaders
                    bring back heroes of yesteryear.


                    Every destination has a beginning and when you sail aboard the Safari Legacy on one of our
                    Heritage Adventures, we bring it all forward. Period décor defines an atmosphere as elegant
                    and refined as the era; and modern amenities provide extra pampering. After a day of touring,

Living History
Visions of the Past

                                          Nautical history, human history, the history
                                          of nations—it tells many stories. And history
                                          doesn’t just come to life—we bring it to life. It
                                          comes alive in historic ports steeped in legend
                                          and fact; on tours that guide you through
                                          time; during visits with local historians and
                                          native peoples who unfold the past; and with
                                          characters of yore who join you to share their
                                          stories… our Heritage Adventures beckon.


                                             Perhaps your very ancestors sailed the seas
                                             making discoveries of their own and meeting
                                             fascinating personalities. Sharing that same
                                             sense of adventure you could find yourself
                                             being greeted by Teddy Roosevelt, founder
of the National Park Service; standing on the bow alongside John Muir, awed by the
thunderous crack of a glacier; or finding inspiration, as a budding photographer and
geographer, listening to the tales of Eliza Scidmore.

                                                               Unforgettable Moments

                    With a private charter, it’s all about you. Charters provide an excellent way to bring together
                    family, friends, or a corporate incentive group without the hassle of arranging provisions,
                    crew, or routes. With a wide range of sizes—22, 36, 60, 76, 86, 88—there’s a boat written
                    with your group size all over it. Let us tailor a Charter Adventure with your special focus in
                    mind—complete with activities, crew, and expedition staff. We handle all the details, leaving
                    you to sit back and soak in the experience of a lifetime.


                    Private Group Travel
                    For groups of travelers who share a common interest or mission, whether it be an affinity
                    group or a corporate team, we offer a full-service platform to meet your needs. Companies
                    can tap into team building activities and U.S. flag tax breaks. The privacy afforded by a
                    charter is unparalleled, and the natural settings and activities available for discretionary time
                    are incomparable. Imagine finishing up a meeting or socializing and then stepping out on
                    deck to photograph humpback whales or kayaking and sailing in a pristine cove.


                    Private Family Cruises
                    There are many reasons why families and friends take time to relax and travel together:
                    birthdays, retirement, reunions, anniversaries, weddings, or “just because.” These events
                    create lasting memories. Our boats are ideally suited for those unique occasions in life.
                    We’ll work with you to customize a Charter Adventure in which all the pieces come
                    together effortlessly. Simply tell us what you’d like, and we’ll make it happen.

Delivering Experience
                                                    Adventure-After-Adventure

                    Experts in the Field
                    In addition to getting extraordinarily close to nature and wildlife, we ensure that all
                    guests have opportunities to learn about what they are seeing and experiencing. We
                    engage local experts from the National Park Service to interpret, narrate, and share
                    dinner. U.S. Forest Service wilderness rangers sometimes kayak right up to our boats
                    and hop aboard to talk about natural history and their own special bond with the land.
                    And local historians bring history to life. Supplementing our onboard expedition team,
                    Captains, and other staff, these interpreters provide a tremendous resource for our
                    small contingent of guests.


                    Onboard Team
                    The best in the industry—our Captains, chefs, expedition team, hotel staff, and mates
                    are individually selected not only for their outstanding knowledge, customer service,
                    and safety skills, but also for their genuinely welcoming and enthusiastic personalities.
                    Our Expedition and Legacy Leaders are experienced guides with advanced training in
                    natural and/or cultural history. Our customer service staff is made up of energetic men
                    and women who are as excited about where you’re going as you are. Our Captains
                    and engineers have the certifications and skills to provide you with a safe and confident
                    exploration experience.


                          We’ve deservedly earned our reputation—one guest at a time.

Life Onboard
Escape to Wellness

Traveling is inspiring. It can also be nourishing. Refreshing. When you travel on an Un-Cruise
Adventure, connecting with your environment—on board or off—happens naturally.
Whether it’s the Captain’s Farewell Dinner or our complimentary yoga classes, we’ve
carefully crafted each activity with every aspect in mind.



                                   Culinary Sensations
                                 Our Executive Chefs create exquisite meals, using
                                 locally sourced fresh ingredients to reflect the flavors
                                 of your destination. Each day includes an early-riser
                                 breakfast of fresh fruit, baked-onboard pastries and
                                 breads, and a full breakfast complete with specialty
                                 items. Lunches range from pasta salads and sandwiches
                                 to homemade soups and ethnic dishes. Dinners offer
                                 a choice of entrées, including fresh seafood and meats.
                                 Vegetarian dishes are available and special dietary needs
can be met with advance notice. Hors d’oeuvres for the cocktail hour feature a variety of
appetizers and desserts are varied and plentiful. Fine spirits, wines, and microbrews are
served aboard all of our boats, with many even featuring sustainable cask wines on tap.


Aboard any of our Safari boats, unless we’re having a barbeque on deck or some other
special event, your meals are always served over several courses—with particular
attention to your personal preferences. A more casual-style dining experience is offered
on our Wilderness boats, where exceptionally high quality fare is generally served buffet-
style. All of our meals ensure fresh, healthful dining experiences.


Wellness, Fitness & Relaxation
Throughout the fleet, our onboard amenities allow you to escape through
complimentary yoga classes, relaxing in on-deck hot tubs or saunas, enjoying a good
workout on the fitness equipment, or being pampered by our Wellness Director/
Massage Therapist. Nature’s splendor takes care of the rest. And at the end of your
voyage, our onboard team will send you off with a renewed sense of beauty and spirit.


A complimentary massage is an included amenity aboard three of our Safari boats:
Safari Endeavour, Safari Explorer, and Safari Legacy. Massage is available aboard all
of our Wilderness boats, however, there is an additional charge for the service.
Depending on your massage therapist, your massage-style choices may include
traditional massage, lomi lomi, shiatsu, or a comfortable chair massage. (Safari Quest
does not offer massage or sauna.)


                  Rejuvenate your body as well as your spirit.

Alaska’s Inside Passage
Southeast Alaska & Glacier Bay National Park

Shaped by massive glaciers over millions of years, the temperate rainforest of Southeast Alaska (also
known as the Alaska Panhandle) reveals wildlife-rich fjords and spectacular scenery. The Tongass National
Forest—the largest in the US—is 16.8 million acres and constitutes the majority of area. Throughout
history, the channels and waterways along Alaska’s Inside Passage have served as an important travel
corridor for Native Tlingit, Tsimshian, and Haida peoples and gold-rush era steamships.


Recognized in 1986 as a biosphere reserve, in 1992 the 3.3-million-acre Glacier Bay National Park earned
its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, 15,000-foot mountains rise straight out of the ocean
and massive glaciers flow across the landscape, covering thousands of square miles. At different points
in history, explorers John Muir, Joseph Whidbey, and Captain George Vancouver each discovered this
unforgettable natural laboratory—today, receding glaciers reveal a landscape that has been covered with
ice for tens of thousands of years.


Rich in wildlife, brown and black bears, the endemic Alexander Archipelago wolf, Sitka black-tailed deer,
humpback whales, orca, salmon, bald eagles, harlequin ducks, scoters, and marbled murrelets call the area
home. Other features of the region include the Alexander Archipelago and Misty Fjords National Monument.

Alaska’s Heartland
                    The Alaska Range & Denali National Park and Preserve

                               Your Alaska experience wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Alaska’s interior. The
                               Alaska Range is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. Forming an east-west arc, it runs 400 miles
                               from central Alaska to the White River in Canada’s Yukon Territory. Parts of the range are
                               protected by central Alaska’s Denali National Park and Preserve and Lake Clark National Park
                               and Preserve. Low-elevation taiga forest, alpine tundra, and snowy mountains offer solitude,
                               tranquility, and wilderness. Large and small wild animals roam these lands—grizzly bears,
                               caribou, moose, and Dall’s sheep are just a few of the species that call the area home.


                               Encompassing a 6-million-acre subarctic ecosystem of extraordinary beauty and
                               astonishing wildlife is Denali National Park and Preserve, home to Mt. McKinley, whose
                               20,320-foot peak stands as the tallest in North America. Some of the densest bear
                               populations in the state of Alaska are found down on Cook Inlet and the Kenai Peninsula
                               near the entrance to Lake Clark National Park. Alaska’s Iditarod National Historic Trail
                               runs northward through both parks all the way to the northernmost reaches of Nome.


                                                   Combine your Un-Cruise Adventure with an

                                                           The Best Time to Visit
The “when to go” question comes up often. With Alaska travel, it’s almost always the first question asked.
Rain, bears, birds, whales, salmon, insects, sunlight, temperature, snow level, flowers, northern lights—how
much, how little, how long, what variety, how high, how low—these are all key interests when planning your
Alaskan vacation. It’s The Big Land, and therefore, there is no “cookie cutter” answer to these curiosities.

            The following guideline best describes when “skies are most blue”
                             and when salmon change hue...




    “I’ve Un-Cruised twice and it is the best way to see Alaska; a small group up close and

Unforgettable Adventures in Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico and Beyond

  • 1. Alaska u Hawaiian Islands u Mexico’s Sea of Cortés u Columbia & Snake Rivers u Washington & British Columbia Un-Cruise Adventures InnerSea Discoveries ✦ American Safari Cruises ™ Active u Luxury u Heritage u Charter Un-Cruise InnerSea Discoveries ✦ American Safari Cruises ™ November 2012 — April 2014
  • 2. Dear Adventurers, An Un-Cruise adventure is unlike any other vacation. For many, it is a life changing experience. Nature and wildlife as you’ve never experienced it. As CEO and co-founder of the company, I’d like to share with you the inspiration behind the Un-Cruise. I grew up on boats, lived on boats, and have worked on boats most of my life. At 27 years old, I made a life changing decision to sell my marine business in Washington and take a job as captain of a day tour boat in Alaska’s Glacier Bay National Park. My wife, baby boy and I made the long trip up on our Welcome sailboat—one of many adventures. Aboard! After a summer of showing visitors the grandeur of the glaciers, wildlife and wilderness and listening to park rangers talk about ecosystems, their vast knowledge seeped into my brain and opened my eyes to the natural world. The vast rivers of ice. The thundering sound when a chunk calves into the sea. Listening to the sound of whales blowing nearby. I was a changed man. I wanted to share its beauty with others in hopes of instilling that same wonder of nature and desire to conserve the wilderness for future generations. And that inspiration leads us to today. Uncover your Un–Cruise Adventure—then pack your bags and venture into some of nature’s most exciting playgrounds for active exploration, eye–to–eye wildlife encounters, and living history. I invite you to join us, and discover something special yourself. Choose to Un-Cruise! Dan Blanchard Captain & Owner 2 | Un-Cruise™
  • 3. The Un-Cruise Story Unrushed. Uncrowded. Unbelievable. What began in 1997 as yacht cruising in Alaska, pioneered by American Safari Cruises, has evolved and flourished into a style of exploration we call Un-Cruise Adventures— unmatched, hands-on small boat expeditions under the parent company of InnerSea Discoveries. Today, the Un-Cruise concept offers several styles to choose from: Active Adventures; Luxury Adventures; Heritage Adventures; and Charter Adventures—each offering an alternative to traditional cruising. Explore areas inaccessible to larger ships, step ashore in small communities, and get up-close with wildlife. Our mission is this: Provide our guests an enriching adventure travel experience and inspire an appreciation of local cultures and the natural world. Small group travel is the heart of what we do. Our small yachts and expedition boats serve as your platform in Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, Mexico’s Sea of Cortés, the Columbia & Snake Rivers, and in the coastal waters of Washington & British Columbia. Expert Captains and guides lead you on adventure—trekking into forests and engaging in local communities; kayaking and skiff rides through serene wilderness; exploring along shore and searching for wildlife. Un-Cruise Adventures are flexible and vary in order to limit impacts on fragile ecosystems. Filled with unspoiled encounters, they focus on activities and excursions that complement the wilderness, wildlife and culture in each destination—to change the way you see the world. Unexpected. | 3

Perhaps your very ancestors sailed the seas making discoveries of their own and meeting fascinating personalities. Sharing that same sense of adventure you could find yourself being greeted by Teddy Roosevelt, founder of the National Park Service; standing on the bow alongside John Muir, awed by the thunderous crack of a glacier; or finding inspiration, as a budding photographer and geographer, listening to the tales of Eliza Scidmore.

Let us tailor a Charter Adventure with your special focus in mind—complete with activities, crew, and expedition staff. We handle all the details, leaving you to sit back and soak in the experience of a lifetime. Private Group Travel For groups of travelers who share a common interest or mission, whether it be an affinity group or a corporate team, we offer a full-service platform to meet your needs. Companies can tap into team building activities and U.S. flag tax breaks. The privacy afforded by a charter is unparalleled, and the natural settings and activities available for discretionary time are incomparable. Imagine finishing up a meeting or socializing and then stepping out on deck to photograph humpback whales or kayaking and sailing in a pristine cove. Private Family Cruises There are many reasons why families and friends take time to relax and travel together: birthdays, retirement, reunions, anniversaries, weddings, or “just because.” These events create lasting memories. Our boats are ideally suited for those unique occasions in life. We’ll work with you to customize a Charter Adventure in which all the pieces come together effortlessly. Simply tell us what you’d like, and we’ll make it happen. 14 | Un-Cruise™

Delivering Experience Adventure-After-Adventure Experts in the Field In addition to getting extraordinarily close to nature and wildlife, we ensure that all guests have opportunities to learn about what they are seeing and experiencing. We engage local experts from the National Park Service to interpret, narrate, and share dinner. U.S. Forest Service wilderness rangers sometimes kayak right up to our boats and hop aboard to talk about natural history and their own special bond with the land. And local historians bring history to life. Supplementing our onboard expedition team, Captains, and other staff, these interpreters provide a tremendous resource for our small contingent of guests.

When you travel on an Un-Cruise Adventure, connecting with your environment—on board or off—happens naturally. Whether it’s the Captain’s Farewell Dinner or our complimentary yoga classes, we’ve carefully crafted each activity with every aspect in mind. Culinary Sensations Our Executive Chefs create exquisite meals, using locally sourced fresh ingredients to reflect the flavors of your destination. Each day includes an early-riser breakfast of fresh fruit, baked-onboard pastries and breads, and a full breakfast complete with specialty items. Lunches range from pasta salads and sandwiches to homemade soups and ethnic dishes. Dinners offer a choice of entrées, including fresh seafood and meats. Vegetarian dishes are available and special dietary needs can be met with advance notice. Hors d’oeuvres for the cocktail hour feature a variety of appetizers and desserts are varied and plentiful. Fine spirits, wines, and microbrews are served aboard all of our boats, with many even featuring sustainable cask wines on tap. Aboard any of our Safari boats, unless we’re having a barbeque on deck or some other special event, your meals are always served over several courses—with particular attention to your personal preferences. A more casual-style dining experience is offered on our Wilderness boats, where exceptionally high quality fare is generally served buffet- style. All of our meals ensure fresh, healthful dining experiences. Wellness, Fitness & Relaxation Throughout the fleet, our onboard amenities allow you to escape through complimentary yoga classes, relaxing in on-deck hot tubs or saunas, enjoying a good workout on the fitness equipment, or being pampered by our Wellness Director/ Massage Therapist. Nature’s splendor takes care of the rest. And at the end of your voyage, our onboard team will send you off with a renewed sense of beauty and spirit. A complimentary massage is an included amenity aboard three of our Safari boats: Safari Endeavour, Safari Explorer, and Safari Legacy. Massage is available aboard all of our Wilderness boats, however, there is an additional charge for the service. Depending on your massage therapist, your massage-style choices may include traditional massage, lomi lomi, shiatsu, or a comfortable chair massage. (Safari Quest does not offer massage or sauna.) Rejuvenate your body as well as your spirit. Uncorked. | 17

  • 19. Alaska’s Inside Passage Southeast Alaska & Glacier Bay National Park Shaped by massive glaciers over millions of years, the temperate rainforest of Southeast Alaska (also known as the Alaska Panhandle) reveals wildlife-rich fjords and spectacular scenery. The Tongass National Forest—the largest in the US—is 16.8 million acres and constitutes the majority of area. Throughout history, the channels and waterways along Alaska’s Inside Passage have served as an important travel corridor for Native Tlingit, Tsimshian, and Haida peoples and gold-rush era steamships. Recognized in 1986 as a biosphere reserve, in 1992 the 3.3-million-acre Glacier Bay National Park earned its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, 15,000-foot mountains rise straight out of the ocean and massive glaciers flow across the landscape, covering thousands of square miles. At different points in history, explorers John Muir, Joseph Whidbey, and Captain George Vancouver each discovered this unforgettable natural laboratory—today, receding glaciers reveal a landscape that has been covered with ice for tens of thousands of years. Rich in wildlife, brown and black bears, the endemic Alexander Archipelago wolf, Sitka black-tailed deer, humpback whales, orca, salmon, bald eagles, harlequin ducks, scoters, and marbled murrelets call the area home. Other features of the region include the Alexander Archipelago and Misty Fjords National Monument. “We had the most amazing time of our lives and would recommend this cruise to anyone.” — ­ Anne R., Scotland Undiscovered. | 19
  • 20. Alaska’s Heartland The Alaska Range & Denali National Park and Preserve Your Alaska experience wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Alaska’s interior. The Alaska Range is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. Forming an east-west arc, it runs 400 miles from central Alaska to the White River in Canada’s Yukon Territory. Parts of the range are protected by central Alaska’s Denali National Park and Preserve and Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. Low-elevation taiga forest, alpine tundra, and snowy mountains offer solitude, tranquility, and wilderness. Large and small wild animals roam these lands—grizzly bears, caribou, moose, and Dall’s sheep are just a few of the species that call the area home. Encompassing a 6-million-acre subarctic ecosystem of extraordinary beauty and astonishing wildlife is Denali National Park and Preserve, home to Mt. McKinley, whose 20,320-foot peak stands as the tallest in North America. Some of the densest bear populations in the state of Alaska are found down on Cook Inlet and the Kenai Peninsula near the entrance to Lake Clark National Park. Alaska’s Iditarod National Historic Trail runs northward through both parks all the way to the northernmost reaches of Nome. Combine your Un-Cruise Adventure with an Alaska Land Package or Hotel Stopover See page 58 for details. 20 | Un-Cruise™
  • 21. Timing is Everything! The Best Time to Visit The “when to go” question comes up often. With Alaska travel, it’s almost always the first question asked. Rain, bears, birds, whales, salmon, insects, sunlight, temperature, snow level, flowers, northern lights—how much, how little, how long, what variety, how high, how low—these are all key interests when planning your Alaskan vacation. It’s The Big Land, and therefore, there is no “cookie cutter” answer to these curiosities. The following guideline best describes when “skies are most blue” and when salmon change hue... “I’ve Un-Cruised twice and it is the best way to see Alaska; a small group up close and personal with a lot of whales, seals, sea lions, sea otters, bears, glaciers, etc.!” — Libby S., Paw Paw, MI ­ ­­ Undescribable. | 21
