TRAVEL TRENDS

Family, Friends, and Reunions

November | 2024

Happy Fall, Cruise Dreams Friends!


Last December you agreed to become part of the Cruise Dreams Waves to You eBlasts.


We didn’t forget – life just got in our way a bit. Individual travel has kept us very busy, and we’ve been working diligently to design incredible group trips for 2025 through 2027. It’s a wonderful position to be in, but life added some unexpected health and elderly parent issues that carried us off course a bit.


We’re now excited to bring you the first Cruise Dreams Waves To You eBlast, where we’re focusing on some current travel trends, like multi-generational travel, kindred spirits group travel and

reunion travel.


I hope you like it! I’d love to hear what you think.


Waves to you and smooth sailings ahead,

For your next family vacation, it's time to think BIG.


As the country's largest state, Alaska serves up some unforgettable

family-friendly adventures and offers a vast array of activities, with something to suit just about everyone’s interests and abilities.


From 7-night getaways to immersive, 10- to 14-night Cruise Tours that combine the wild, forested beauty of Alaska’s coast with the majesty of Denali National Park, there’s an Alaskan cruise style and length to suit your group.

 

Choose a cruise-only option that sails round-trip from Vancouver or Seattle or one way between Vancouver and Seward, or choose a Cruise Tour that adds a 3- to 7-night land tour to the one-way cruise.
