Rudyerd Ketchikan Bay Misty Metlakatla Fjords National Monument EXPERIENCE OUR ALASKA

Dear Alaska Explorer, We invite you to share in the sense of adventure we feel while exploring Southeast Alaska’s Inside Passage. It is challenging to describe its beauty—lush green rainforest, rocky coastlines, thousands of stunning passages, bays, and coves—words don’t seem to do it justice. Perhaps the state’s nickname comes the closest to a perfect summary; this truly is The Last Frontier. As you stand on the quiet deck of one of our small ships cruising the waters of a remote passage, you will feel this frontier spirit. You will sense it as you paddle a kayak to the beautiful calls of bald eagles soaring overhead, or while listening to the “white thunder” of a glacial calving in a turquoise fjord. As your taste buds meet fresh Alaska king salmon you’ll taste the frontier, and you will feel it as you watch the sun go down next to a beach bonfire while toasting a perfect golden brown marshmallow. Experiencing this frontier offers a chance to escape from our fast-paced, modern age. One of the many reasons our family enjoys exploring the Inside Passage is simply to feel the peace that comes from leaving technology and other distractions at the dock. It gives us a time to reset, clear our minds, and appreciate the gift of unspoiled wilderness. As an Alaska Native family-owned company, we offer our guests a unique, insider’s view of Southeast Alaska. This brochure serves as a comprehensive reference to our True Alaska difference. We invite you to read about our 2018 itineraries in detail, starting with our quick guide to choosing a voyage on page 20. Keep in mind that all of our itineraries feature several marquee elements of a True Alaska experience, including spectacular wildlife destinations, dramatic glacial fjords, hiking, skiff excursions, kayaking, Alaska Native cultural immersion, and a visit to our exclusive Orca Point Lodge. On page 23 you can read about our exciting new offering, the 10-night Alaska’s Frontier & Wilderness Quest. An Alaskan Dream Cruises expedition allows you to enjoy a relaxed ambiance coupled with excellent service in one of the most incredible areas in the world. Pack your favorite jeans and sweater and get ready for True Alaska adventure in The Last Frontier! – Dave, Lauren, Zaide, & Zia Allen Bob & Betty Allen

Meals feature a variety of menu options, including meat, seafood, and vegetarian selections.

Such locally harvested specialties include king salmon, halibut, rockfish, shrimp, and crab—cooked and prepared to a standard any Alaskan would recommend.
