EXPERIENCE OUR ALASKA
Dear Alaska Explorer,
Growing up in Sitka our family was busy operating boat tours for Alaska’s travelers
and building vessels in our Jamestown Bay shipyard. During our off hours we were out
exploring the Southeast waters. This spirit of discovery has stayed with us through the
decades and remains as much a part of us today as it was in our childhood.
Our adventures have brought us to countless bays, coves, and inlets in this remarkable
region. We enjoy hiking, fishing, camping, kayaking, and sometimes, just relaxing next to a
beachside fire. Equally as fascinating as the wildlife and landscapes are the people we’ve
met along the way. From loggers to fishermen, Alaska’s personalities are diverse but tied
by a common thread — a deep love of the place we call home. There is a distinct lifestyle in
this wild frontier, and residents are accustomed to watching out for each other. We’ve come
to call this singular level of warmth and friendliness True Alaskan Hospitality. Although this
phrase didn’t exist until a few years ago, the idea has been practiced by our family ever since
we resurrected a sunken yacht and outfitted it for sightseeing tours in the spring of 1970.
Alaskan Dream Cruises’ itineraries are designed to ensure you will enjoy an authentic and
personal Alaska experience. At the conclusion of each day, you’ll feel that you’ve done
much more than just travel through the Inside Passage. You will realize you’ve witnessed
the region through the lens of a resident. You will have experienced natural interactions
with local peoples and indigenous cultures and have walked the streets and gravel roads
of towns and villages which rarely see outside visitors. There are opportunities to step
onto pristine shorelines and into the cover of dense old-growth forests through specialuse permits with the Forest Service, Glacier Bay National Park, and private landholder
organizations. At the conclusion of each day’s adventures, you’ll find your chosen vessel
to be a relaxing retreat, where guests dine on regional cuisine and learn from compelling
evening presentations. You’ll also interact with officers and crew that embrace and
embody True Alaskan Hospitality.
Though we’ve spent decades exploring this region, we have yet to run out of new places
to explore. The wildlife continues to fascinate us and the grandeur of the scenery is never
taken for granted. We invite you to join us for a journey through True Alaska. We cannot
wait to share our passion for this unspoiled and untamed land with you.

THE TRUE ALASKA EXPERIENCE
For millennia, our Tlingit ancestors thrived in the temperate rainforest of Southeast Alaska.
The sea, rivers, forests, and shorelines
were teeming with wildlife and vegetation,
providing an abundance of all the
necessities of life. Villages were established
in strategic locations for trade, security,
and food. Eventually, nations around the
world heard whispers of the remarkable
region and explorers from all walks of life
sailed to the area, drawn by the allure of
rich natural resources. Fur traders sought
valuable pelts—most notably the prized
pelt of the sea otter.
2
| A L A S K A N D R E A M CRU I S E S 2017
Fishermen devised methods of harvesting
the vast resources of salmon, halibut,
king crab, and other species. Others
followed dreams of striking it rich in
the gold fields, or of frontier lifestyles
in floating timber camps. Once such
adventurous spirits experienced a taste
of Alaska they often stayed, establishing
small communities in the shadows of
massive glaciers, along salmon-laden
rivers, and unspoiled islands. Today, the
communities of the Inside Passage are
as diverse as her striking landscapes.
Our all-inclusive, small-ship itineraries
offer a mix of excursions in these
intriguing towns and Native villages, and
adventures in raw wilderness bays and
glacial fjords. This approach offers travelers
a comprehensive look at all the Inside
Passage has to offer. Every Alaskan Dream
Cruises experience is hand-picked for its
value in immersing you in True Alaska.
PREMIER WILDLIFE VIEWING
As pioneers of Alaska cruising, and after nearly 50 years of operation,
we’ve developed an unrivaled knowledge of the region’s most
abundant wildlife areas.
Our routes are designed to travel
through these places, while allowing
ample time for up-close encounters. If
wildlife viewing is high on your list of
priorities during your travels to Alaska,
you’ll discover the benefits of our local,
insider knowledge.
Commonly sighted terrestrial animals
include both brown and black bears,
mountain goats, and Sitka black-tailed
deer. Occasionally, wolf and moose
are seen. Of course, Southeast Alaska
is famous for its seasonal migration of
humpback whales, which are engaged
in almost constant feeding behaviors.
Orcas, Steller sea lions, harbor seals,
Dall’s porpoise, harbor porpoise, and sea
otters are also frequently spotted on our
expeditions. Shipboard hydrophones
enable us to listen for marine mammal
communication.
WWW.ALASKANDREAMCRUISES.COM

EXCLUSIVE ACCESS
In order to secure hiking opportunities in some of the region’s most
beautiful and secluded areas, we operate under special land-use
permits granted by the U.S. Forest Service.
Exclusive agreements with our local
friends and neighbors and our privatelyowned land provide us even further
access. With such permissions, Alaskan
Dream Cruises guests enjoy several
hiking excursions on every expedition.

| A L A S K A N D R E A M CRU I S E S 2017
From dense old-growth forests
with towering spruce trees and lush
underbrush, to expansive tidal flats,
there’s no better way to appreciate the
biodiversity and profound serenity of
the land than by foot.
ACTIVE EXPLORATION
Alaskan Dream Cruises is an ideal fit for travelers with a passion for
adventure and hands-on discovery.
Our itineraries are filled with
opportunities for active exploration, both
in intriguing ports of call and in remote
wilderness areas.
All of our vessels carry expedition craft
that enable us to get even closer to the
land and sea. Our Demaree Inflatable
Boats (DIBs) are skiffs, which are called
upon for shallow-water and glacial fjord
exploration. These nimble vessels are
also used as beach landing craft to allow
remote hiking opportunities in areas not
accessible to larger craft. Kayaking is also
an integral part of every Alaskan Dream
Cruises experience. To ensure guests
of all skill levels are able to enjoy this
exciting activity, we’ve designed custombuilt kayak launchers for easy and safe
loading and unloading.

FRESH ALASKA CUISINE
Excellent culinary fare is an important trademark of True Alaskan
Hospitality.
Meals feature a variety of menu options,
including meat, seafood, and vegetarian
selections. Of course, we take pride
in presenting a “Taste of the Inside
Passage” through our strong emphasis
on fresh Alaska cuisine options. From
the company’s beginnings, we’ve worked
with local seafood processors to secure
the freshest catch available. Much of
the seafood you’ll have the opportunity
REGIONAL BEER,
WINE, & SPIRITS
Our full-service bars are staffed by
friendly bartenders who are ready to serve
you according to your unique beverage
preferences. Bars are stocked with Alaska
beers, Pacific Northwest wines, and locallydistilled spirits. Due to the intimate setting
of an Alaskan Dream Cruises voyage, it
won’t take long before your bartender
knows your name and favorite beverage.

to enjoy will have been caught just days
prior by local fishing vessels. The catch
is immediately chilled and delivered to
buyers, preserving its superior flavor
and texture. Such locally harvested
specialties include king salmon, halibut,
rockfish, shrimp, and crab—cooked and
prepared to a standard any Alaskan
would recommend.
SUSTAINABILITY
At Alaskan Dream Cruises, we understand the importance of
sustainability, environmental respect, and giving back to the community.
Purchasing local seafood goes beyond
great taste and convenience. The fishing
men and women of Alaska are our friends
and family members. Each small fishing
vessel is a family business, which boosts
our local and state economies. The fishery
is managed with great care to assure the
longevity of wild stocks, which will allow
this healthy resource to remain intact for
generations to come. We’re proud to serve
wild Alaska seafood, thus supporting the
region’s vibrant commercial fishing industry.

ORCA POINT LODGE
All of our itineraries feature a relaxing evening at our exclusive
Orca Point Lodge on Colt Island.
This private retreat provides peaceful seclusion with modern comforts in
an idyllic wilderness setting. The stunning views from shore include scenic
Stephens Passage, as well as Admiralty Island National Monument.
EVENING HIGHLIGHTS
• Indulge in king crab legs, served with hot,
melted butter, flame-grilled salmon, prime
rib, and delicious sides
• Visit the marine-life touch pool, with
intriguing intertidal invertebrates such as
sea stars, anemones, and hermit crab
• Peruse our beautiful gift shop, featuring
local art, salmon products, and other
Alaskan-made items
8
| A L A S K A N D R E A M CRU I S E S 2017
• Enjoy easy beach access for a relaxing
stroll next to the water’s edge
• Nestle up to a cozy, beachside fire to
roast s’mores and share stories with
fellow travelers
• Scan the shoreline of Admiralty Island
and the waters of Stephens Passage
through our spotting scopes
ENRICHMENT
Our guests visit Alaska in search of a personal connection to the places and people.
We believe this deeper level of
understanding is exactly what is needed
to gain a true appreciation of the region.
To this end, we staff our vessels with
knowledgeable expedition leaders, who
act as personal guides on every voyage.
Our Naturalists focus on the biology,
geography, and ecology of the Inside
Passage, while our Cultural Heritage
Guides are well versed in the lifestyle,
legends, and practices of Southeast
Alaska’s intriguing cultures. Having these
guides by your side for every step of
your journey—from kayak expeditions
to dining—ensures no question will
ever go unanswered. Evenings feature
compelling educational programs in our
onboard lounges. You can also choose to
further your understanding of the region
by delving into your ship’s library, which
features literature pertaining to the
nature and history of the Inside Passage.
When you retire to your room at the
end of each day, you’ll find a nightly
turndown letter, which details the next
day’s activities and provides a sneak
peek of the local history, geography, and
wildlife of the area you’ll be visiting. Of
course, this is just the preliminary plan.
Alaska often provides spontaneous,
once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
We allow our discerning officers the
time and flexibility to adjust the daily
schedule when unique occasions arise.
OPEN WHEELHOUSE
You’ll find that the relaxed ambiance of
our expeditions creates an environment
that is ideal for learning through new
perspectives. Such is the case with our
open-wheelhouse policy. We encourage
guests to visit the Captain and Officers
throughout the journey, as conditions
permit. While on the bridge, travelers
are able to see the charted course, hear
ship-to-ship communications, and listen to
stories from experienced Alaskan mariners.

INSPIRING CULTURES
Alaskan Dream Cruises itineraries offer an opportunity to discover
three distinct Native cultures, the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian,
through visits to intriguing villages.
These communities are among the leasttraveled places in Alaska, and a visit can
be a powerful experience. To witness
the spiritual way in which the indigenous
people of Alaska are connected to the
earth and to each other is inspiring.
Many of the remarkable residents
continue to subsist off the land and sea.
As local Alaska Natives ourselves, we are
grateful to be welcomed with open arms
by our friends in several villages.
As you walk the streets and forests
of these communities, you’ll have the
opportunity to enjoy several planned
experiences, from dance shows to
carving demonstrations. You may even
witness several events unique to village
life: a hunter’s return after a successful
hunt of seal or deer, families working
together to hang their harvest of sockeye
salmon in a smoke house, or a ceremonial
potlatch.
BEST CULTURAL
HERITAGE EXPERIENCE
Alaskan Dream Cruises is honored to be
the recipient of the American Indian Alaska
Native Tourism Association’s (AIANTA)
2015–2016 award for Best Cultural
Heritage Experience. AIANTA’s mission
is to define, introduce, grow and sustain
American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native
Hawaiian tourism that honors traditions
and values.

Fjord, an area the famous naturalist John Muir referred
to as, “A wild, unfinished Yosemite.” This glacial fjord is
renowned for its pristine waterfalls, towering icebergs,
abundant harbor seals, and granite cliffs that rise from sea
level to 4,000 feet. At 32-miles long and averaging just a
mile wide, the unique features of Tracy Arm are contained
in a relatively small geographical space, adding to the
dramatic beauty of the area. As ice conditions permit, we’ll
navigate the entire length of the fjord, stopping in view of
both the Sawyer and South Sawyer Glaciers. Experience
the inspiring feeling of kayaking amongst towering icebergs
in the fjord.

Handling of your baggage from airport or hotel to

hotel is included with your passage fare for day
of departure or one day prior to departure. ADC
is not responsible for damage or loss to baggage
while in the custody of airlines or other third party
transportation provider(s). ADC’s responsibility for
baggage while in ADC’s custody is limited to the
reasonable value of any items damaged or lost.
Any travel insurance you may have purchased may
provide additional remedies.
LATE ARRIVAL AND EXTRA COST PROVISION:
In the event of flight delays ADC will make
reasonable efforts to connect you with your
itinerary; however, any added costs are your
responsibility. If inclement weather or other
conditions beyond ADC’s reasonable control delay
or interrupt an ADC itinerary, and result in additional
transportation or accommodation costs, you are
solely responsible for those costs.
ITINERARY AND DEPARTURES:
Itinerary arrival and departure times are always
subject to change without notice. ADC reserves
the right to cancel, alter, advance, postpone or
substitute any scheduled sailing or itinerary,
substitute another vessel for the scheduled vessel,
or substitute or cancel scheduled ports of call in its
sole judgment and discretion, and to do so without
any liability whatsoever to passengers as a result of
said change(s).
HEALTH AND DISABILITY REQUIREMENTS
AND MEDICAL SERVICES:
ADC requires passengers to notify it in writing at the
time of reservation of any physical or mental illness
or condition which require special accommodations
or services including use of a wheelchair.
Passengers requiring personal assistance or who
are physically disabled must be accompanied
by someone who assumes full responsibility for
such assistance for both the regular activities of
the cruise and/or shore excursions as well as any
emergency situation. ADC will make reasonable
efforts to accommodate passengers with medical
or physical limitations, but reserves the right to
deny boarding to a passenger whose condition may
affect their safety or enjoyment of the cruise or that
of other passengers, or that may affect the safety or
operation of the cruise.
Passengers requiring a wheelchair must bring their
own wheelchair. Some shore excursions preclude
the use of a wheelchair. Physical conditions aboard
the vessel such as stairs, raised thresholds, no
elevator, and narrow doorways or passageways
may limit wheelchair use, create challenges for
mobility challenged passengers, or restrict access
to some areas aboard the vessel.
Special diet requests must be received in writing at
least 60 days prior to departure. However, even with
such notice, ADC may not be able to accommodate
all such requests.
Medical facilities for much of the itinerary are
limited and often are difficult to access. While crew
members aboard ADC vessels are CPR certified,
trained medical personnel are NOT AVAILABLE
aboard ADC vessels.
EMBARKING AND DISEMBARKING:
Embarking and disembarking is accommodated
through the use of gangways, or in some instances,
excursion craft. Port facilities and tide conditions
greatly influence and vary the steepness or
placement of gangways or dock ramps.
SHORE EXCURSIONS:
Shore excursions, either included or discretionary,
may involve touring in a variety of physical
environments which may require walking or hiking
on uneven trails or walking surfaces, and thus
require mobility, physical fitness and stamina. Each
passenger must determine their own fitness and
suitability for any shore excursions. Additionally,
the Captain, in his/her sole discretion, may, but has
no duty to do so, limit passenger participation in
activities that could compromise safety.
PASSPORT AND VISA REQUIREMENTS:
A passport or visa is not required of citizens of the
United States of America except on those itineraries
that visit Skagway, Alaska (complimentary shore
excursion includes the White Pass Railroad which
stops in British Columbia, Canada).
A valid government approved ID is required to
board the vessel. Foreign citizens are required to
have appropriate passport and visas as may be
required by US Homeland Security Administration
regulations.
PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEOS:
ADC occasionally photographs or videos passengers
and activities during the course of a cruise. ADC
reserves the right to use such photographs or
videos for marketing and/or training purposes
without obligation to compensate the passenger,
and each passenger consents to such use.
RESPONSIBILITY & OTHER TERMS &
CONDITIONS:
Among other things, limitation of ADC’s liability
for loss of property, injury, illness or death during
the voyage will be provided to all guests in
the Terms of Passage sent prior to departure,
and are also available on our website at

failure to perform.

the vessel, particularly in Alaska, can be inherently
dangerous and always involves the risk of injury,
illness or death.

or off vessel activities and the passenger assumes
all those risks. ADC is not responsible for any

accidents, inconveniences or expenses of any kind

any and all claims of any nature they may have
against ADC other than those arising solely from
ADC’s negligence, or willful or fraudulent conduct.
Passengers also agree that neither they, nor any
of their heirs, personal or legal representatives, or
family members will bring suit or make a claim for
illness, injury, loss or damage to property, or loss
of life resulting unless the claim resulted solely
from the negligence of ADC or its employees,
directors, owners, officers, agents, contractors or
affiliated organizations as a result of passenger’s
participation on a cruise, provided that claims that
result from ADC’s willful or fraudulent conduct are
not waived.
