Finally! The third edition of the Cruiser Friendly Guide to Alaska’s Inside Passage is printed and advance copies are now available for purchase.  After twenty years working on the most luxurious cruise ships in Alaska, I know what people just like you want to know about Alaska - and I’ve put it all in this book! The Cruiser Friendly Guide to Alaska’s Inside Passage is written specifically to enhance your on-board cruise experience; it’s not just about the ports but what you are seeing from the ship along the way. To me that is the best thing part of an Alaska cruise — the beautiful scenery, historic landmarks and remarkable wildlife visible from your ship! The third edition is indeed new and improved. It is 260 full-color, pages featuring beautiful photographs contributed by such Regent notables as Captain Philippe Fichet-Delavault and Executive Chef Mike Roemhild as well as original drawings by Mary Sterner Lawson. What I am most proud of is the new maps — not only are there detailed maps for you to use while in scenic areas like Misty Fjords, Tracy Arm, Glacier Bay, Yakutat Bay or College Fjord but there is now a new, easy-to-use, fold out map of the entire region from Puget Sound to Cook Inlet! The book retails for $19.95 and is currently available through my website: cruiserfriendly.com. Starting in April the new edition will be on Amazon.com and ShopHollandAmerica.com. This summer the book will be sold in the gift shops of Regent, Oceania, Silver Seas, Crystal and Princess Cruises. Special prices available for travel agents and groups.
