Dear Friends,

The arrival of the vernal equinox is a very welcome time in Alaska, especially here in Southeast Alaska. It truly marks the awakening of Alaska’s natural world with a plethora of wildlife events and the promise of many amazing new surprises I’ve yet to witness.

You know, I love those spectacularly brilliant, high definition footage programs from exotic locations around the world which look so real on a flat screen TV, it seems like you’re almost there. Yet, I’m always reminded of how fortunate I am to live in, and be so intimately familiar with, one of the most beautiful and magical places on earth; my home front here in Southeast Alaska’s magnificent Tongass Rainforest region.

My continuing objective is to share the knowledge I’ve accumulated through decades of experience from living, working, studying, playing and traveling on the waters and islands of Southeast Alaska. It gives me great pleasure, and it is truly my privilege to share it all with our valued guests who come from distant locations around the globe for an experience of a lifetime.

So, as we prepare the Alaska Adventurer for another exciting cruising season of adventure, I invite you to picture yourself in your own amazing, spectacularly brilliant, high definition journey in this wild and pristine location. I look forward to welcoming you aboard for your own a-once-in-a-lifetime, up-close-and-personal meeting with nature, wildlife, beauty and magic – a most unique and ultimate travel experience you just won’t find anywhere else.

Sincerely,
Captain Dennis Rogers
