Most of our business is that of helping people plan their own private land-based or cruise-based vacations.  But we also lead several groups per year to various places in the world...both cruise AND land-based trips!

So that you don't have to go through all of our blog entries to find all of the upcoming trips we hope to escort, here is a summary of them...we've also included a link to a blog entry with the specifics about each trip.  

At the bottom of most of these blog entries you will see a link to a PDF document...click on this link to view and/or download a flyer with more specifics about that particular trip. 

If you have a few friends or family members who want to go to a specific part of the world, let us know and we will put a custom trip together for you!

Here is the summary of our upcoming escorted trips:​​

• 14-night LUXURY Small-ship Alaska Cruise with Seabourn Cruises.  Get up close with whales and other sea life.  July 24, 2020. Blog link: two-luxury-alaska-cruise-options-for-2020.html
• 7-night California Coastal Princess Cruise departing April 24, 2021.  This cruise will be a celebration of the 25th anniversary of our agency findacruisedeal.com. We hope as many of our clients, friends AND newcomers will join us on this special voyage!  
• In 2021 we will lead another group on an African Safari.  We do so every other year!  This time we will likely be going to Botswana with an optional post-safari trip on Rovos Rail from Victoria Falls to Pretoria.  There is a blog post on this page where you can download a flier about this trip.  Please send us an e-mail if you are interested in joining us!  Blog link:  africa-2021.html

There is nothing like Alaska!  Our owner has been there twelve times and keeps going back for more.  While we can help you with your Alaska cruise at all budget levels (contemporary, premium or luxury), in 2020 we hope to lead one or two groups above the luxury ships of Seabourn Cruises.   

One of the advantages of small ship cruising (only 450 passengers!) is the fact that vessels of this size can get in to locations the large ships cannot navigate.   And, if you see a pod of whales, the larger ships just keep cruising.  But with the ships of Seabourn they know this is why you came to Alaska!  With Ventures by Seabourn you even get the opportunity to kayak among the glaciers (not included in cruise fare).   Beverages and gratuities are included with this luxury cruise line too! 

1. Departing July 24, 2020 for 14 nights, round trip from Juneau, Alaska.  This itinerary visits Tracy Arm, Misty Fjords, Prince Rupert, Alert Bay, Seymour Narrows, Decision Passage, Hubbard Glacier and many more exciting places you simply won't wee on other cruise lines.  A flier for this cruise can be downloaded from the links below.
2. Departing Vancouver on October 2, 2020 this is two itineraries in one!  After sailing Alaska/Canada locations such as Queen Charlotte Sound, Snow Pass, Stevens Passage, Tracy Arm and Sitka, you will relax at sea as the ship sails to Los Angeles.  Along the way visit San Francisco, Monterey and Santa Barbara.   A flier for this cruise can also be downloaded from the links below.  

We hope you'll join us for one of these two luxury cruises...OR we can help you book ANY cruise line for the 2020 season and beyond.  We are Alaska experts!  

Earlier this summer I returned from my tenth trip to Alaska.  This time I had about 20 findacruisedeal.com clients with me.  As a result of my frequent trips to Alaska and my 20 years in the cruise business I've gained a great deal of knowledge about this destination. 

I'm hoping this Alaska tip on my blog will help our current and future clients as they plan their own first, second or multiple trip to this great state!  I always tell people that if they can only go on one cruise in their lifetime, Alaska is the place to go.  I never get tired of this destination. 

I remind our readers in this and every tip...  You do NOT save money by booking your Alaska cruise direct with the cruise line.  Please call us to let us help you plan the Alaska cruise that is best for your situation.  We always try to find the best possible deal for our clients...and you will likely receive added benefits you would NOT get booking direct!

What are the itinerary options for an Alaska cruise?  While there are cruise lines that offer unique itineraries, more than 90% of Alaska cruises are either:

 a) Round trip from Seattle
 b) One way between Vancouver and Anchorage (Northbound or Southbound)

And, more than 90% of Alaska cruises are 7 nights in duration.  (Again, there are other options.)  For example, one cruise line offers 10-night cruises from San Francisco. 

So many people choose the round trip Seattle option because of the convenience of a round trip flight within the Continental USA.  But should you choose the itinerary strictly because of the convenience of the flights?  I much prefer the northbound or southbound cruises to the round trip cruises.

Add-on Land Packages:  For those sailing round trip from Seattle or Vancouver we can add on a pre or post-cruise land package to Whistler, Jasper and/or Banff, Canada!  For those doing a one-way cruise between Anchorage and Vancouver, we can add a 3-7 night pre or post-cruise land package with such destinations as Denali National Park, the Yukon, Fairbanks and many other stops in the interior of Alaska.

Cruise Line Options:  There are many different cruise line companies that sail to Alaska...from the most budget of lines to the top-of-the-line luxury lines.  One of the benefits of working with an agency like findacruisedeal.com is that we help you select the correct cruise line for your situation and budget.
