InnerSea
Discoveries/American Safari Cruises officially changed its name to
Un-Cruise Adventures to kick off the 2013 season. The cruise line has
seven boats that carry a range of 22 to 88 guests to Alaska, Mexico,
Hawaii, British Columbia and coastal Washington and Columbia and
Snake Rivers. Along with the new name, Un-Cruise Adventures is
introducing a new cruise ship in August, the 88-guest S.S. Legacy,
which will sail two 11-night Gold Rush Legacy cruises between Seattle
and Juneau. The replica Victorian steamer features a Heritage
Adventure program, which combines on-board presentations with tours
ashore. The ship will visit various historic ports including
Ketchikan, Juneau, Sitka, Wrangell and Skagway, among others, along
the route and include a tour in each town, consisting of guided
visits to museums and historical sites.
Anchorage-based
Rust’s Flying Service is kicking off 2013 with the introduction of
the Pilot for a Day tour. This on-demand adventure allows for groups
of up to four to create a six-hour, completely customizable
flightseeing trip, with the help of an experienced Rust’s pilot.
Rust’s Flying Service recommends three different itineraries for
this tour, all departing from Anchorage. From there, guests can
choose to fly north to view Mount McKinley and land on a remote
wilderness lake for a short hike; or they can travel out to Prince
William Sound to view the Skilak Glacier, tour the Harding Ice Field
and land in a remote shore side location for lunch; or head west to
Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, land in the lakeside community
of Port Allsworth, visit the homestead of Alaska pioneer Dick
Proenneke in Twin Lakes and fly through Merrill Pass in the Alaska
Range.
