CRUISE NEWS
--In case you missed it, ice skating rinks, giant trampolines and rock-climbing walls on board cruise ships are old news, along with wine cellars and menus from celebrity chefs. The latest innovations for having fun in the middle of the ocean include a bowling alley aboard the Norwegian Pearl, and a Flowrider, which lets you ride an artificial wave, on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas. "They're trying to outdo each other in terms of innovation," said Celebrity Cruises President Dan Hanrahan. "We're betting that a roller coaster is going to be next," say some jokingly in the business. In addition to an industry-wide emphasis on gee-whiz features, other trends in the cruise industry include the continued popularity of family cruising and European ports of call, along with overall growth, with a record number of guests last year and 30 new cruise ships under construction through 2010.

Regent Seven Seas
Alaska
this is what the Earth must have looked like at the dawn of Early Man. More wilderness than can be charted. More wildlife than can be counted: bears, bald eagles, moose, deer, whales, spawning salmon. Its immensity overwhelms. Glaciers advance and retreat forming ridge after ridge of mountain peaks receding into the distance. In spring, swift streams somersault over 1,000-foot precipices in a headlong rush to the sea. Dense, dark green primordial forests stretch as far as the eye can see. Everything seems larger than life. But it’s not just the size; it’s how you fit into its gigantic proportions that is the soul-searing beauty of an Alaska cruise vacation. With activities and tours that range from the mild to the wild, no wonder they say that once you’ve been to Alaska, you never really come all the way back.
