(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 20, 2009 ) WATERTOWN, Mass;—Experience the breathtaking beauty of one of the most astounding places on earth. Cruising the Inside Passage with Thomson Family Adventures takes families deep into the bays, fjords and wildlife rich coastline of Alaska. With only one trip available this summer now is the time to book this Alaska adventure for the whole family! Alaska: Cruising the Inside Passage takes place July 18-25, 2009; prices $6190 adult, $6190 teen, $5990 children under 12 years, plus internal air $300.

Based aboard the small private ship the Sea Wolf, which accommodates just 12 people, families explore the Alaskan coastline with access to places most tours can’t go. Daily kayaking, short hikes and cruising put each traveler front and center to experience the roar of glaciers, the quiet beauty of ancient forests and wildlife abound. Throughout the journey cruise against the backdrop of 15,000 foot peaks with brown bears sauntering along the shoreline and whales, sea lions, porpoises and sea otters frolicking in the sea.

From the dramatic, truly breathtaking glaciers, to the highest mountains in North America, to the pristine seas- home to some of the world’s most wondrous creatures- this is a vacation that won’t soon be forgotten. Children of all ages delight in the curious sea otters that swim alongside kayaks and giant icebergs as they slough off glaciers into the sea below. On this vacation families explore remote, untouched parts of Alaska that few people ever have the opportunity to see, all under the expert guides who are passionate about this extraordinary land.

Thomson Family Adventures client Michael Bernstein described the trip best upon return home from his Alaskan adventure- "We are now home from our fourth trip, this time the Alaska Adventure on the Sea Wolf. I can't imagine a better week in Alaska. We were paired with a wonderful company, as has always been true on our Thomson trips. The crew and staff were phenomenal. The boat was perfect and Alaska is truly majestic.”
