Alaska Swinger Cruise Itinerary

Swingers Cruise Theme Parties

The theme parties on this cruise are designed help you step into expressing your inner desires.  Let go, immerse yourself in the fantasy of it.  Guests who dress in theme report more social interaction and more fun.

You can go all out on a costume or simply echo the theme with an accessory.  Not in the mood? No problem it’s all about doing your own thing with your partner and having a wonderful time.

Theme Nights for the Alaska Swinger Cruise:

Sunday – Oh, Canada! – Canadian pride, Mounties, Lumberjacks, and the Canadian flag with strategically placed Maple Leaves.. “So you party eh?”

Monday – GI Joes & Army Hoes – Rise and salute! Give praise to our nation’s protectors by wearing camo and protecting your “treasured land”.

Tuesday – West World – Think Cowboy meets Science Fiction.  Some may even call this modern Steampunk style. Sexy saloon girls and Cowboys with a modern edge to them.

Wednesday – Under the Sea – Reach down to the deeps with your partner, dressing like Ariel or Poseidon, whatever floats your boat!

Thursday – Gold Rush – This would be one night where it wouldn’t hurt to be called a ‘gold digger’!

Friday – Prohibition Era – Think flapper and gangster outfits.  The roaring 20’s was the time of Moonshine and Speakeasys.

Saturday – Glacier Party – Celebrate your final night by thinking ice queens, snow bunnies and kissing Eskimos. This will be in lieu of the white night on board.

Alaska Swingers Cruise Dining & Accommodations

Umi Uma by Nobu – Specialty Restaurant

One of the things I was most excited about when I decided to purchase my Alaska Swingers Cruise was the specialty restaurant dining.

Umi Uma is the new name for Nobu’s specialty restaurant serving his acclaimed Japanese-Peruvian cuisine, and a beautiful representation of Crystal’s long-standing relationship with the famed Chef:

We HIGHLY recommend travel insurance for your Alaska Swingers Cruise

Travel Insurance

Yikes, travel insurance is not a fun topic but a lot of you have asked…
This is about what happens if you are paid, packed and ready to go… and there is a problem.

The biggest 2 reasons people take insurance are:

• Trip Cancellation
• Medical Expenses or Medical Evacuation

Full Ship charters are better than regular cruises in many ways, however the penalties and potential for a loss if you have to cancel is higher. Shortly after final payment most full ship charter cruises become non-refundable. That means if you have to cancel your trip not only do you have that disappointment of a cancelled vacation, but I have to tell you you don’t get your money back.

Our most popular insurance is ‘World Wide Trip Protector’ and provides full coverage when purchased up to 21 days after your vacation purchase.

The best value just to make sure you have coverage is ‘Trip Protector Lite Expanded.’

Please consider purchasing Travel Insurance

Since everyone pretty much likes me right now and I’d like it to stay that way, please consider purchasing travel insurance. Or at least don’t say I didn’t warn you if there is a problem.

Other coverages that take the worry out of travel:

• Trip Interruption – Return air only
• Trip Delay & Missed Connection coverage
• Baggage Loss or Delay
• Cancel for Work Reasons Options available on select policies

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your upcoming cruise. There are hundreds of circumstances that could cause you to cancel your trip, return home early or force you to seek emergency medical treatment while traveling. Travel insurance offers coverage for unforeseen problems such as, an unexpected financial change or scheduling conflict, a cancelled flight or a serious illness. You even have the option where you can cancel for any reason. We recommend Travel Insured – Get a quote and buy insurance
