| Description | This magnificent ship provides a smaller, more intimate environment than many cruise liners. With more glass than any other type of ship in the fleet, this ship offers some of the best views around. A variety of accommodations are available for every budget, from suites and balcony rooms (a true must in Alaska) to inside staterooms if you prefer. Some highlights of this ship include the Full service Spa, Specialty dining options and a Casino. One of the benefits of this cruise is being able to sail deeper into the beauty and wilderness of Alaska, because it is one way. Also, sailing from Vancouver is great--we could plan a gathering night before the cruise. Also, cruisetours are available for this cruise--you/we could add days to explore the magnificence of Denali. |
