How Cruise Holland America’s

Specialists Alaska Explorer coach
visits Novato.
Vacations... Ever wonder where the Holland America
Alaska Explorer Coaches are during the
winter months? Some can be found
touring the lower 40 with their driver/guides, bringing a
taste of Alaska to our doorsteps. Our Novato office was delighted to offer clients a chance
to meet Alaska tour guide, Dan, as he described some of the exciting land adventures
he has enjoyed over the years. We were impressed with the comfort of these spacious
coaches and agree with the importance of a land component to an Alaska cruise to really
experience the last, great frontier.

Cruise Specialists Cares:

Cruising for a Cause
At Cruise Specialists, our mission
extends beyond providing our
clients with enriching travel
experiences. We strive to give back
to those areas of the world we visit –
and to the people who welcome us
so warmly to their countries.
Last year we launched Cruise
Specialists Cares, an extension
of our exclusive shore excursion
Tom Baum
program. Cruise Specialists Cares ann ~ Du
rban, Sou
offers meaningful excursion options th Africa
linked to important causes. This March, for instance, a group of kind-
hearted Cruise Specialists travelers accompanied our president Tom Baumann to the
SOS Children’s Village in Durban, South Africa where they delivered 17 boxes of
supplies to the orphaned youngsters.
“Visiting and playing with the children was truly a day I’ll never forget,” said Baumann.
“The kids were incredible and it was touching to see how their eyes lit up in amazement
and gratitude at the simple toys and gifts we had brought for them. It was such a moving
experience for myself and our clients – many of whom were so touched, they literally gave
the children the jackets off their backs to help them stay warm during the colder months.”
Ask us how you can participate in these and other meaningful Cruise Specialists Cares projects.
