| Q: What will the weather be like in Alaska in the month of September? A: Late Summer in Alaska is the early start of the Fall Season, and temperatures range in the upper 50's to low 60's most of the time. Nighttime lows can go into the 40's or 30's. It's best to pack a variety of clothing, such as long pants, long and short sleeve shirts, a light jacket and a heavy sweater. Also make sure you bring along hiking / insulated boots. Q: What is there to do in Alaska? A: People who have been to Alaska would probably respond to this, "What is there NOT to do in Alaska?!" There are an abundance of tours and excursions at each and every stop on the itinerary. You can "flightsee" via private aerial charter, you can fish for halibut or salmon, take a historical tour into the city and see authentic memorabilia from the Gold Rush of the 1800's, go whale-sighting or bear-sighting, hike on or climb UP a glacier, take a scenic train ride through snow-capped mountains, and the list goes on. A great website to visit is www.travelalaska.com, where you can get even more ideas. Q: Isn't it dangerous to sail in these icy waters? Could we hit an "iceberg"? A: This may sound like a line out of "Titanic" but it is a real fear of people who want to go on an Alaskan cruise!! The cruise ships of today are built far more advanced than the 1912 Titanic. The navigational systems are state-of-the-art, and what's more, the itineraries never include dangerous fjords or passages. The captains of these large vessels respect Nature, and you will find that they never get too close to some of the glaciers (or "icebergs"). So rest assured: your cruise will be smooth sailing!!! Q: How much are the tours offered? The tours in Alaska are designed for every budget. You have simple city-based tours that start at $25 - $30 per person, and then they go UP from there, depending on the level of your adventure! There are some dog-sledding tours that include a helicopter tour that can go for $300 or $400 per person! The most popular tour that everyone will probably want to do is going to be the White Pass and Yukon Railroad in Skagway. It's "not to be missed". That tour goes for about $100 or so per person. Remember that prices are subject to change. Q: Is Airfare included in the price? How much will it cost me? Airfare is not included in your cruise rate. We chose an itinerary out of Seattle, because we feel it is the least expensive port to get to as far as an Alaska cruise goes. With airlines like Southwest and Jet Blue offering many non-stop flights into Seattle, you can expect to pay on the average about $300 for your airfare from the East Coast, and less than $200 for airfare from the West Coast. If there are 10 or more people flying from one city, WeeBee Travel will offer a group rate. Q: Will there be chaperones at this event? Yes, every one of our events are coordinated and chaperoned by mature Christians. We make these ones known to the group prior to sailing, so that if there are any problems during your trip, you know who is in charge, and can report any problems to such ones. |
