Join
Oakton Community College on a family study/tour to Alaska. Weekly
departures are scheduled through September 2005.
Spend
a week cruising along the Inside Passage of Alaska while the captain
provides classes and lectures that appeal to both children and adults.
Search for sea otters and humpback whales, or find yourself face-to-face
with bears fishing for salmon. View magnificent landscapes, including
the Misty Fjords, Lynn Canal, and Glacier Bay.
The
ship will dock at various ports to provide added educational experiences
throughout the trip. Visits include the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush town
of Skagway, St. Michael's Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Sitka, and
Haines, site of Alaska's oldest army fort. Spend a day at Glacier
Bay National Park, as an experienced ranger navigates the icy rivers.
