2008 Quilt Camp at Sea Cruise to Alaska  August 10-17, 2008

  Ship:  Aboard Holland America Lines luxurious ms. Westerdam

Ports of call:    Glacier Bay; Juneau, AK; Sitka, AK; Ketchikan, AK; and Victoria, B.C.

Featuring quilting instructors including Jean Wells, Becky Goldsmith, Laura Denison, Elizabeth Spannring, Roxanne Carter, Sharon Gunkel, Kathy Scott, and Lisa Kirby  Optional fishing expeditions will be available for cruisers in the port cities of Juneau and Sitka through Holland America Line (and the spouses of quilters on past cruises have highly recommended these expeditions)! 

Expect the unexpected…. while sailing through the spectacular glacier wilderness where a massive glacier caves, a bald eagle soars above, a humpback whale clears the water and the night sky awakens to waves of color. This cruise immediately follows the Association of Pacific Northwest Quilters (APNQ) 2008 Quiltfest in Seattle.  For details on the 2008 Quiltfest, visit www.APNQ.org and plan to join us August 8-10, 2008 at Quiltfest and then sail away on the cruise!!

We will sail from Seattle aboard Holland America Line's beautiful vista class ship, the ms. Westerdam, with the breathtaking scenic beauty of Alaska awaiting us in Glacier Bay,  Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, and Victoria.  If you have not previously sailed to Alaska, you will soon discover why this cruise destination is one of the most popular and why so many cruisers return to Alaska again and again......... 

Rates shown below do not include the fuel supplement of $5.00 per person per day that is being added to all sailings on or after February 1, 2008 due to escalating fuel prices.  This supplement will appear separately on balance invoices in order for it to be adjusted if the fuel supplement is decreased or increased prior to the final payment date for this cruise.

**PLEASE NOTE:  The above rates for Alaska do not include the new Alaska State Visitor's Tax Assessment of $50.00 per person that has just been added for cruises to Alaska beginning in 2007.  This new assessment will appear on your invoice as a separate entry so that if the tax is reduced, your cruise balance will be reduced.  Taxes are subject to increases and decreases that will be reflected on final cruise balance invoices.  The total cost of each cruise package includes: Cruise fare in the stateroom category you select; all on-board meals including late night buffets; port fees, taxes, and government fees; and attendance at the private one hour Bon Voyage cocktail party.  The separate $100.00 quilting fee (waived for APNQ members with active membership through 2008) includes:   The use of sewing machines during classes; two quilting classes; a souvenir tote bag; and the opportunity to win GREAT door prizes!  Not included in cruise package rates are gratuities, transportation to or from the ship in Seattle, items of a personal nature, travel insurance, and shore excursions or other optional activities available through Holland America that are not included in the cruise fare for all passengers on this cruise.  A maximum of two quilters may register in the same stateroom.
