No place on earth is as awe-inspiring as the “Last Frontier” of Alaska, and there’s no better way to experience this magnificent destination than by cruise ship. Spectacular scenery unfolds as your ship sails peacefully past walls of blue ice, cascading waterfalls, and pristine forests. As you stand on your private veranda, you might spot a humpback whale. Eagles soar overhead. A calving glacier cracks and plunges into the sea. A cruise in Alaska is an unforgettable adventure and the ultimate travel incentive – close to home but a world apart.

Amazing Experiences – Your group can do things in Alaska they can’t do anywhere else in the world – stand on a glacier, watch pods of whales, and step back in time to history’s biggest gold rush. Go dog sledding on Mendenhall Glacier, take a seaplane tour over Misty Fjords, bike along wilderness trails, hike through glacial valleys. For the ultimate Alaska adventure, try a canopy expedition that combines ziplines, a suspended bridge, an off-road vehicle, a high-speed watercraft and a gold mine – WOW!

Group Options: In the February issue of Meetings West Magazine, Maria Lenhart explores the possibilities in her article “Cruising Alaska”. Landry & Kling CEO Joyce Landry reminds Meetings West readers that an Alaska cruise is a great value option for meetings and incentive programs, and offered some excellent  advice for planners:

“Alaska is a tremendous value right now—you can negotiate much better than in the past,” says Joyce Landry, CEO of Landry & Kling Cruise Event Services, a Miami-based company that specializes in cruise meetings. “I recommend taking advantage of the situation because you are not likely to see these prices again.”
