MAY 24 – JUNE 1, 2008
Aboard the Star Princess

Escorted by Dick and Jan Pautz

A message from Peggy Crull – Cruise & Tour President

Dear Traveler:

Have you been dreaming of visiting “The Great Land” Alaska but always found the prices too high for your dreams to become reality? In 2008, your Alaskan dreams CAN come true by joining our escorted* Alaskan cruise vacation aboard the beautiful Star Princess of Princess Cruises.

We are delighted to have Alaska veterans Dick and Jan Pautz personally escorting* this cruise, departing on May 24th. This is our favorite time of year for Alaska, when the weather is historically drier and clearer than later in the summer. You’ll fly from Milwaukee to Seattle, Washington, non-stop on MIDWEST AIRLINES. There, you’ll enjoy an overnight stay at the beautiful Westin Hotel, perfectly situated in the heart of downtown Seattle. The following morning, embark on a sightseeing tour that takes in the Seattle highlights, then board the beautiful Star Princess.

The 109,000-ton Star Princess was newly built in 2002 at a cost of about half a billion dollars. This state-of-the-art vessel has all the latest amenities and creature comforts. And speaking of comfort, take a look at our staterooms shown in the enclosed brochure. Combine the luxury of the Star Princess with flexibility and a relaxed atmosphere offered by the Princess Personal Choice Dining and you’ll find yourself aboard the perfect Alaskan cruise. Now take a look at where you’re going!

Your cruise takes you from Seattle through the famed Inside Passage to Alaska. Imagine being out on deck as you glide along Alaska’s marine highway, with the possibility of bald eagles soaring overhead or wildlife on a nearby shore. Your first port of call will be Ketchikan, Alaska’s southernmost city and home to Alaska’s largest Native population.

One of the highlights of your cruise will be your morning cruising majestic Tracy Arm Fjord. Marvel as the captain maneuvers the Star Princess through the narrow fjord, and be on deck (or on your private balcony!) with binoculars in hand in case of wildlife sightings!

Next comes Juneau, Alaska’s stunning capital city. Here you can relive Klondike history and actually try your hand at panning for gold…hike through thick forests…or raft down the Mendenhall River – just a few of the possibilities.

Next stop, Skagway, where you’ll gain a real sense of what Alaska was like during the gold rush days. Explore Skagway by narrow-gauge train, high-speed catamaran, motorcoach, mini-bus, horseback, helicopter, floatplane, dog sled or on foot! The optional excursion possibilities are nearly endless!

Final port…Victoria, British Columbia, home to magnificent Butchart Gardens, a stunning 55-acre floral extravaganza and National Historic Site of Canada.

  • Non-stop MIDWEST AIRLINES flights
  • ¨
  • Transfers between airport and ship from Milwaukee (other cities on request)
  • All meals and entertainment aboard ship
