American Safaris Cruises is well known for its luxury Alaska cruises.  Its long time former CEO, Dan Blanchard, will be back in charge as his new holding company, InnerSea Discoveries, purchases the small ship operator.  The new management will be in effect beginning with the 2009 Alaska cruise season.

Blanchard has committed to maintaining American Safari Cruises’ strong focus on natural history and environmental education for all of its Alaska cruise tours.  Their ships are some of the smallest operating Alaska cruise routes, only carrying between ten and forty passengers.  Because of their small size, their guests enjoy a far more intimate, flexibly itinerary featuring active shore excursions and the finest cuisine.

Their prices are competitive for the luxury Alaska cruise market, starting at about $4,495 per person.  If you can afford it, an Alaskan cruise with American Safari Cruises is sure to be a memorable one!
