The new Wild Alaska Seafari was designed to provide guests with
the experience closest to a true explorer. While the major ports and places have
been identified, the sequence and timing will be determined by Mother Nature and
the captain of the
Spirit of Alaska.
 On
select journeys, there will be professional photographers onboard to offer
guidance on how to capture the best shots.
Programming has been designed for the more active traveler, so inflatable raft
excursions have been planned during the day and evening, to maximize the
adventure experience. Routes will be carefully timed to ensure that the ship’s
location is designed for the best possible light. Guests will visit Pelican, a
town that is only accessible by ship, and the West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness.
The Icy Strait represents more than 13 shore opportunities along the more than
100 miles of coastline. Each cruise experience will differ depending on the
whims of the wildlife and the captain’s instincts for the best guest experience.
Some overnight anchorages will be scheduled. A pre-night package includes a
presentation by local photographers and an early morning photo shoot at Eagle
Beach.
The “Wild Alaska Seafari” can be combined with an optional five-night land tour
within Denali National Park and Preserve, home to Mount McKinley, North
America’s largest mountain. The Denali experience offers a visit to the home and
kennel of Mary Shields, the first woman to run the Iditarod, a tundra wilderness
tour, and optional excursions like rafting or flightseeing.
In addition, Cruise West will continue to offer the following itineraries in
2011. For each itinerary, Cruise West provides a shore excursion in every port.
“Alaska’s Inside Passage” is a seven-night roundtrip from Juneau, “Gold Rush
Inside Passage” is 10 or 11 nights between Seattle and Juneau, the four-night
“Glacier Bay Highlights” is roundtrip from Juneau, and the four-night “Glaciers
of Prince William Sound” is a roundtrip from Anchorage'
