Alaskan Dream Cruises’ is adding a new ship and three new itineraries to its portfolio for next year. The 207-ft. Chichagof Dream, scheduled to set sail on its inaugural voyage in June 2016, features four decks and 37 staterooms, as well as new carpets and furnishings in guest suites and communal spaces. The 74-passenger renovated vessel also features viewing areas on the bow and aft promenade decks that allow guests to take in the Alaskan scenery.
Not only is Alaskan Dream Cruises introducing a new ship in 2016, but it is also launching three cruise itineraries. The new True Alaska Exploration itineraries, sailing between May 10 and Sept. 7, take guests into the Alaskan wilderness for 8-, 9- or 11-day voyages. Guests can soak up the local culture on the 9-day Alaska’s Inside Passage Sojourn itinerary while visiting various towns, including Metlakatla, a borough that is home to the indigenous Tsimshian community; and Thorne Bay, a city once hailed as the largest logging camp in the world. Naturalists and cultural heritage guides share the area’s history and general information with guests during the tours. Onboard books on Alaska’s history, Alaska-made products and spirits, and chef-prepared dishes made with local ingredients and seafood are highlighted. Rates start at $4,519. All bookings made before Oct. 31 receive a 3 percent discount. For more information and additional itineraries, visit alaskandreamcruises.com.
