Inside passage questions
I'm thinking of a cruise up (or down) the inside passage. I'd like to fly to port, then cruise back, or visa versa. I'd like a cruise on a smaller ship (don't want to cross the gulf of Alaska), and would like a cruise that includes a naturalist, wildlife biologist, etc. Now for the hard part: I'd like to keep it under $2500 per person! Is this possible, or am I dreaming???

Knightly Tours, one of the companies mentioned in the latest Lonely Planet Alaska guidebook, might fit your needs. Here's a description: "This company offers budget package tours for independent travelers; in other words, you're not hereded around with a hundred others. Knightly makes all the reservations for you--for the Alaska Marine Hwy ferries, side tours with American Sightseeing and all your hotels along the way." Visit www.knightlytours.com.

The Alaske Marine Highway is great. A park ranger gets on and lectures and it stops in many ports. You can get a berth, set up a tent or sleep in a lounge chair. It is very inexpensive and a lot of fun.
