Just last month, InnerSea Discoveries made a big announcement. The small ship active-adventure cruis

I'm just back from Alaska and a week's cruise on the Wilderness Discoverer of InnerSea Discoveries. The company beach hotels in dubai bills its small ship adventures as "un-cruises", but whatever you call it, the week was a terrific vacation. We kayaked, hiked, explored in small boats, and enjoyed numerous wildlife sightings and other adventures. I'll be adding beach hotels in dubai photos and more on the cruise over the next few weeks.
Just last month, InnerSea beach hotels in dubai Discoveries made a big announcement. The small ship active-adventure cruise line will add a third ship to its Alaska fleet in the summer of 2012. The new company sold out its two small ships, the Wilderness Discoverer beach hotels in dubai and Wilderness Adventurer, for its first season in 2011. Now the company beach hotels in dubai has acquired the 76-guest Wilderness Explorer, beach hotels in dubai formerly the 86-guest Spirit of Discovery. After significant renovations to add features and amenities found on the company's other two ships, the Wilderness Explorer will sail weeklong adventures between Juneau and Sitka, Alaska beginning June 2, 2012.
This new InnerSea Discoveries' itinerary will include three days inside Glacier Bay National Park. A National Park Ranger will stay aboard the ship for the full three days to provide interpretation on the area's history, culture, geography, plants, and wildlife. The park ranger, along with shipboard expedition guides, will also lead guests on hiking and kayaking expeditions within Glacier Bay. Other areas to be explored include Icy Strait, Chichagof Island and Peril Strait. In May and August, two-week repositioning cruises between Seattle and Juneau (and reverse) will be offered.
The new "Northern Passages & Glacier Bay" itinerary will sail from Juneau on Saturdays linking it to the line's two other vessels---the 60-guest Wilderness Adventurer and 76-guest Wilderness Discoverer---which sail between Juneau and Ketchikan (and reverse) on weeklong adventures beginning and ending on Saturdays. An all-encompassing three-week beach hotels in dubai voyage combines a two-week roundtrip Juneau cruise with a weeklong cruise on the Wilderness Explorer.
Three cabin categories consist of 21 Trailblazer, 13 Pathfinder and 4 Explorer cabins. Bed configurations include twin or queen with many more made convertible during renovation. Cabins will feature flatscreen televisions with DVD players, iPod docking stations and eco-friendly bath amenities. All cabins feature a large, beach hotels in dubai view window.
During renovation, two hot tubs will be added with one on the bow and one on the aft sun deck. A sauna and exercise equipment will also be added to the aft sun deck. The lounge bar will be expanded with the addition of 10 taps serving a selection of microbrews and cask wine. To ensure ample space for included adventure activities, a new swim step will be added to the ship's main deck aft. The extra space will serve as a launch pad for excursions and host a kayak launch platform able to quickly and safely launch five kayaks at a time.
Like her sister ships, the Wilderness Explorer will venture into Alaska's wilderness, with expert naturalists leading hiking and kayaking tours of varying lengths and activity levels. Guests may also enjoy open paddling. Other adventure activities include stand-up paddle boarding, skiff explorations and whale watching. Snorkeling gear is available for a fee. Flexible itineraries and few set port times allow the ships to seek out wildlife and maximize viewing time for guests.
Other shipboard amenities include an Alaska reference library, DVD library and board games. A professional masseuse is part of the crew and massages are available for a fee. An underwater camera mounted on the ship's bow will stream video from the underwater world to flatscreen televisions in all guest rooms and the lounge. Healthy and hearty meals feature fresh ingredients including locally caught Alaskan seafood.
Prices for the 7-night cruises aboard the Wilderness Explorer start at US$3,095 per person, double occupancy, and include transfers and all activities except optional excursions like snorkeling or flightseeing. Port charges of US$167 per person per week, massages, spirits and gratuities are extra.
