Alaska Sea Adventures Spring Newsletter 2008


New Southeast Alaska Cruising Chart

Alaska Sea Adventures introduces our newly developed cruising area map. The area depicted on this beautiful, large, detailed, 27 inch wide by 39 inch tall map, is a cross section of central Southeast Alaska and is a modified version of the U.S. Marine Navigational Chart. This map will be included in the Pre-cruise Planning Packets for all guests with reservations for a cruise with ASA. Additional copies of the map will be available for purchase from our web site and various locations around Petersburg for a nominal fee.

Included on the front side of the map is a log where travelers will be able to keep notes and a log of their Alaska adventures. The back side of the map has interesting information including: local Natural History; Tongass National Rainforest; Southeast Alaska Wildlife; Petersburg, Alaska; and Business Section from local sponsors who can help you plan a visit or a return trip to the Petersburg area.

Here’s an interesting fact that helps demonstrate how special Southeast Alaska and the Alaska Adventurer’s cruising area really is: “There is no longer a single place in the continental United States more than 20 miles from a road.”* By contrast, during a cruise on the Alaska Adventurer, the closest we would ever be to a road connecting with the contiguous states is typically around 130 miles direct line over the Coast Range Mountains and Devils Thumb Peak!

As you’ll see when you study the map, Alaska Sea Adventures’ cruises and charters are wilderness expeditions in the truest sense of remote journey travel!
