It’s all about taking it slow. And that’s what’s ironic about river cruising – the world’s fastest-growing cruise trend.

“I’ve done a number of river cruises, most recently one from Vienna to Nuremburg to

see the Christmas markets and I’m absolutley hooked!” says Janet Chambers, Maritime Travel counsellor, Vernon, BC. “I can de� nitely see why river cruising attracts such a high number of repeat clientele. You’re made to feel really special on board, with the very

best of food and wine and highly personalized service, while at a really leisurely pace with a relatively small number of fellow cruisers.”

Best of all, you can enjoy a river cruise at any time of year.

Intriguing, relaxing and breathtakingly beautiful – these are some of the superlatives that Alaska conjures. “Alaska is one of my favourite destinations,” says Natasha Koenig, Maritime Travel counsellor, Kelowna, BC. “It o� ers literally thousands of miles of scenic coastline that make it a draw for cruise ships, from the charming islands of Ketchikan to Glacier Bay National Park and on to such iconic

Alaskan frontier towns as Skagway.”

For sure, passengers enjoy trolling Alaska’s history and frontier ambiance, but the 49th state’s main calling cards are its wildlife and scenery. “You get to witness wonders like the roar of calving ice atop bright blue glaciers, or sightings of bears, seals and seabirds in their natural tundra habitat – right from the deck of your ship. It’s almost

beyond words,” says Natasha.

Alaska itineraries typically comprise seven- 11- or 12-night cruises from Vancouver, Anchorage, San Francisco and Seattle to ports along Alaska’s Inside Passage and along the Gulf of Alaska. � e Alaska cruise season runs from May to September. See your Maritime Travel cruise expert for all the details.
