OCEANIA Cruises will showcase the natural wonders of Alaska’s ‘Last Frontier’, on a season of seven to 20-day sailings between May and Sep this year.
Cruising from Los Angeles, Seattle, and Vancouver, travellers looking to go beyond the typical tourist sights and discover unique perspectives on local cultures and cuisines have 14 departures to choose from aboard the 656-guest Regatta.
Highlights include Oceania becoming the very first cruise line to call into Klawock, on Prince of Wales Island, which features one of the most extensive collections of totems in the world.
In Wrangell, explorers can learn the daily happenings of a local from an Alaskan guide, fishing for traditional catches such as salmon and halibut, and discovering the native Tlingit’s influence on the community.
More than 250 tours and excursions, which have been curated by local community members for this season, are offered in Wrangell, as well as Ketchikan, Sitka, Juneau, and other destinations.
Thrill-seekers can go glacier-trekking on Mendenhall Glacier and sea-kayaking through the coastal waterways travelled for centuries by the Aleuts, while national park excursions offer an opportunity to savour the region’s incredible natural beauty.
Meanwhile, foodies will enjoy authentic culinary classes and craft beer tastings.
Travellers booking this month can save with Oceania’s 20th Anniversary Sale, which offers free shore excursions, a free beverage package, or a free shipboard credit, plus up to $800 shipboard credit per suite or stateroom.
“We’re delighted to offer our guests a fresh perspective of Alaska, one filled with touching personal moments connecting with nature, people and cuisine,” stated President Frank Del Rio Jr.
“The innate beauty of our small ships, especially in a destination like Alaska aboard our intimate Regatta, allows guests access to small ports and remote harbours not offered by others.”
