Voyage to Alaska w/ Michael Jackson aboard the Regent Seven Seas Mariner
 September 3-10, 2008
Cruise with legendary talk radio host, Michael Jackson to
Alaska — America’s last frontier. Appreciate the enormity of
the wilderness, boasting more wildlife than can be counted:
bears, bald eagles, moose, deer, whales surrounded by
sculpted ice and monumental glacial formations. It takes a
smaller ship to appreciate the vastness, making the 700-guest,
Seven Seas Mariner a perfect companion to discover the
unexplored in small groups or from the privacy of your suite
balcony.
In addition to receiving impeccable service, and indulging in
some of the most luxurious accommodations at sea, you will
have several opportunities to participate in riveting and
thought-provoking discussions with Mr. Jackson. Private
receptions and events have been planned to provide intimate
settings for a mingling of the minds and to interact with the
“stalwart” of Los Angeles talk radio!
About Your Host
Michael Jackson, a recipient of seven Television Emmys (and 13 nominations), has also been awarded six
Golden Mikes, also known as Radio's Oscar. In January 2006, Michael received two for outstanding
achievement in radio broadcasting. Michael's various honors include membership in the Most Excellent
Order of the British Empire, (the MBE), presented by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, along with being presented
with the French Legion of Merit bestowed by President Mitterand. He has his star on the Hollywood Walk
of Fame and an honorary Doctorate of Laws from Western School of Law.
“My show meets and reflects the changing world of Los Angeles and California. Listeners will be meeting people
from all walks of life: stars, artists, politicians, world leaders, educators, We'll be speaking about everything
and anything with everyone, and each day giving this weary and exciting world of ours a kick in its axis. We'll be asking the
tough and frequently ignored questions and together learning. My job is to entertain, enlighten and inform.”
7 Nights Alaska Cruise
On Board Seven Seas Mariner
Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA — "Gassy Jack" Deighton
saw a chance to make money from the miners on their way to the
Yukon and the saloon he built became the focus of the shanty town
known as Gastown. From here, modern Vancouver was born -
Canada's third largest city. The government persuaded the settlers
to change the name of the town to Vancouver, after Captain
George Vancouver, who sailed the area's waters in 1792. Today
Vancouver is a cosmopolitan city with a personality all its own.
Ketchikan, ALASKA — Ketchikan, otherwise known as the First
City, has a population of almost 14,000 and is on the southwest
side of Revillagigedo Island, only 90 miles from Prince Rupert.
The town grew around salmon canneries and sawmills. In fact, at
one time Ketchikan was proclaimed the "Salmon Capital of the
World," a title that reappeared in 1996 with a new welcome arch in
town. Tourists flock to Ketchikan for their first look at the North
Country, and rarely are they disappointed.
Tracy Arm Cruising — Tracy Arm is a fjord in the southeast that
features tidewater glaciers and steep 2,000 foot granite walls that
rise straight out of the water. This steep-sided fjord, 50 miles
southeast of Juneau, is highlighted by a pair of tidewater glaciers
and a gallery of icebergs that float down the length of it. Calm water
is the norm here due to the protection the steep and narrow fjord
wall provides on the 30-mile arm. Seals and whales are often
spotted while cruising here.
Juneau, ALASKA — In 1880, Joe Juneau and Richard Harris
were searching for gold with the help of Indian guides. Finally,
they found nuggets "as large as beans." Out of their discoveries
came three of the largest gold mines in the world where more
than $150 million in gold was mined. Eventually the mines
closed, but the town Juneau founded became the capital of
Alaska. Its total area makes it the biggest town, in size, in North
and South America - and the second largest in the world.
Skagway, ALASKA — Skagway, a place of many names, much
history and little rain, is the northern terminus of the Alaska
Marine Highway. It was known to thousands of hopeful gold
rushers as the gateway to the gold fields. But when the gold yield
dwindled in 1900, so did the population of Skagway. Skagway
retains the flavor of the gold rush era, especially on Broadway,
with its false-front buildings, and in the Trail of '98 Museum,
with its outstanding collection of memorabilia.
Sitka, ALASKA — After being the Russian capital of North
America, the Russian flag was replaced by the Stars and Stripes
in Sitka when the United States purchased Alaska. Today,
picturesque Sitka, is known for its fishing industry, an annual
summer classical music festival and, of course, its many historic
visitor attractions. On a clear day Sitka, the only city in Southeast
Alaska that actually fronts the Pacific Ocean, rivals Juneau for
the sheer beauty of its surroundings.
