Hello once again from beautiful Lynnwood, Washington.
The sun is coming up earlier, staying out later, and the temperatures are slowly inching up the thermometer. This means that summer should be here soon!
A couple of months ago, I sent out an e-mail about our Seabourn cruise to the North Cape, visiting Norway and Denmark. This is truly one of the most scenic cruises in the world. Although we had room for 120 travelers, we sold-out in less than 24 hours. Seabourn gave us an additional 30 spots and those were filled up by our growing wait list.
Then, Seabourn gave us 120 spots on the same cruise in July. We sent out an e-mail offering the new date and that filled up in a day. Now, Seabourn is opening 25 more cabins on the July date at our special group rate.
We now have room for an additional 50 Travel With Alan travelers to join our group. This is a spectacular itinerary, all the way to the Arctic Circle and in the peak summer season. This departure gives you one of the world’s best cruise itineraries, aboard one of the world’s best ships, and at the best time of the year...and at an amazing price. If you missed this opportunity last time, you get a second chance. I am sending the email from last time to show you all you are getting, updated with the new dates. Give us a call or book online to reserve your spot!
Sincerely,
Alan Schiller
Group Coordinator

Hello once again from Lynnwood, Washington.
Nearly 20 years ago, I went on a cruise with a group that was one of the cruises I had ever taken. Since then, I have been unable to get any sort of a group deal on this itinerary. There is a short “peak season” and these cruises have so much demand.
The cruise I am talking about is a voyage up the Norwegian Coastline to Norway’s North Cape. This is definitely the most scenic cruise I have ever taken. This year, we are offering this cruise aboard the Seabourn Ovation. This smaller ship can get much closer to the scenic fjords, the majestic cliffs, the spectacular waterfalls and to the rugged coastline of Norway. The extra bonus is that this cruise is over the summer solstice…with Northern Norway’s famous midnight sun. This is a trip you will never forget!
Join our group on July 6th, as we fly from cities across the U.S. and Canada to Copenhagen, Denmark. Upon arrival in Copenhagen, you will transfer to a first-class hotel for a two-night pre-cruise package. We will have a “Welcome Dinner” for the whole group on the first evening. The next day, we will have a city tour along with a narrated canal cruise through Copenhagen’s canals and waterways. At your leisure, any time after the tour and into the evening, you will have admission tickets for Copenhagen’s famous in-city amusement park, Tivoli Gardens. These are spectacular gardens with amusement rides, beer halls, restaurants, shops and more. There are also shows and performances throughout the park.
The next day, you will leave the hotel, then be transferred to the pier where you will board the spectacular Seabourn Ovation for a 14-night cruise up the coast of Norway.

These are amazing ports, and you will be able to enjoy them from the open decks, the indoor lounges, and from your suite’s private balcony aboard the Seabourn Ovation.
Aside from the beautiful scenery and charming Norwegian Coastal towns, you will also be able to enjoy all of the amenities of your ship, the Seabourn Ovation. The Seabourn Ovation carries 600 guests…each one pampered in ultimate luxury. The minimum suite on the Ovation measures more than 300 square feet, including the veranda.
Here are some of the features in every Suite on the Ovation:
· A full-length window and glass door to private veranda
· Comfortable living area
· Queen-size bed or two twin beds
· Dining table for two
· Walk-in closet
· Interactive flat-screen television with music and movies
· Fully stocked bar and refrigerator
· Makeup vanity
· Spacious bathroom with separate tub and shower
Also, Seabourn ships are nearly all-inclusive, with fine wines, top spirits, caviar and more all included. Even the tips are included. On Seabourn, the answer is almost always “yes”. The crew are all there to spoil you and make certain that you have the best vacation possible.
Even though this ship carries only 600 guests, the Seabourn Ovation offers almost all of the features of a larger ship. There is a beautiful showroom with different shows every night. There are lounges with live music. There is a small casino and a beautiful gym and spa. There are different dining options, from a casual lunch by the pool to multi-course fancy dinners and more. The Seabourn Ovation is often able to dock closer to town and call on some of the ports that the larger ships cannot. Along the Norwegian Coastline, the Ovation can navigate much closer to the rugged coastline, giving you a much better view.
As usual, the best part about this tour is the price….just $8950 per person, based on double occupancy, for a Veranda Suite. This price is about what you’d pay for the cruise by itself anywhere else….but with all of our “extras”, this is an exceptional value. Our package includes round-trip coach air from most major U.S. and Canadian gateways. Business Class and Premium Economy air are available on request, as well as air deviations. Any of these must be requested at the time of booking. If you request these air upgrades or deviations, you will be called within one week with the quote. We also have upgrades available to a “V3” suite for $650 per person or to a “V4” suite for $850 per person. These suites have unobstructed views and more mid-ship preferred locations. The “V4” staterooms take you more mid-ship on the higher decks.
Our package also includes a two-night pre-cruise package in Copenhagen including:
· Two nights at a first-class hotel
· Welcome dinner
· Breakfast daily
· Copenhagen city tour
· Copenhagen canal cruise
· Admission to Tivoli Gardens
· All transfers
All of these features make a fantastic 16-night/18-day vacation. This one will book up quickly. Space for this cruise is limited.
