Hi friends!
I just returned from my first Alaskan cruise. It was amazing! I've sailed the Caribbean several times and I love it - but there's just something remarkable about Alaska. We saw Bald Eagles, Harbor Seals, Humpback Whales, Orcas, Salmon "Running", and some of the most incredible scenery anywhere. You simply HAVE to see Alaska.
And I have good news. We're going back and we'd love to take you with us!
We have two options ... the 7 day Holland America cruise on the Nieuw Amsterdam ... or the 11 day cruise-tour. The tour takes you beyond the cruise by glass-domed luxury train to Denali National Park and McKinley Resort. After two days there with an included guided tour of the park, we travel by coach to Fairbanks and end our time with a paddle-steamer river cruise (included). I can't wait!
Details about these options are found here. But if that particular journey doesn't work, you can go here to see everything available for Alaska in 2025.
But read to the bottom of this email to learn how I can make it even better for you!
::: ABOUT GROUPS :::
Whether you’re planning a family reunion, a friends’ getaway, or a team-building retreat, group travel offers a range of advantages that make it an experience to remember.
Here are a few reasons why group travel is a fantastic option:
- Cost Savings: Traveling as a group often means you can take advantage of special discounts on flights, hotels, and excursions, helping everyone save on costs without compromising on quality.
- Shared Experiences: There’s nothing quite like exploring new destinations with a group. From sightseeing to trying local cuisine, the memories you create together will last a lifetime.
- Convenience: Let me take care of all the planning! When traveling as a group, you have the benefit of a tailored itinerary that fits everyone’s preferences. No more worrying about the details—just sit back and enjoy the adventure.
- Safety in Numbers: Exploring new places is exciting, but it’s also reassuring to know that you have a group of people by your side. Group travel offers an added layer of safety and support during your journey.
- Unique Group Activities: Many destinations offer activities specifically designed for groups, such as private tours, cooking classes, or adventure excursions. These experiences bring everyone closer together and add a special touch to your trip.
What types of groups benefit from traveling together?
- Large families celebrating a reunion or milestone event
- Bridal parties looking for a fun and relaxing getaway
- School reunions reconnecting after years apart
- School trips that bring education to life with real-world experiences
- Church groups or spiritual retreats seeking inspiration and reflection
- Affinity groups with shared interests or hobbies, such as wine lovers, art enthusiasts, or history buffs
