Santa Barbara, CA., January 14, 2010 -- With the Northern Lights exploding into color overhead and the glaciers slowly residing year after year, now is the time to see Alaska, and Alaskan NW Charters has positioned itself as the premier provider of fishing, sightseeing and glacial tours.
With the majority of people signing up for the high-volume, cookie-cutter mega-cruises, a truly unique and sensational experience exists aboard the luxury charter yacht, Caledonia. Setting off through the Inside Passage surrounded by glaciers, Orca whales, brown bears grazing on the beaches and 10 of your closest friends or family members truly creates the perfect Alaskan vacation.
Not limited to sightseeing or any set agenda, the Caledonia is outfitted with a 28’ trailing boat outfitted with its own captain that serves as a highly efficient fishing vessel, a whale-watching platform that can stealthily track and observe breaching and feeding whales. By night, a 5-star chef prepares personal mouth-watering dishes including the day’s catch of salmon, halibut, crab and shrimp.
"You get what you pay for." Said Bob Stephens, Captain and Co-Owner of the Caledonia." “People stand in line to get on and off the ship and the cruise ship has a schedule. We do not have a schedule so we can stop and see anything any time. It’s a thoroughly different trip.”
The booking season is currently open and tours begin May 15th. The typical tour lasts 6 nights and 7 days.
