Why buy travel insurance?
VancouverTravel Insurance is a package of travel protection and emergency assistance services. In the event that you must cancel or interrupt your trip because you, a traveling companion or one of either you or your immediate family members becomes unexpectedly ill or injured, your Vacation Protection Insurance will refund you in cash for your otherwise non-refundable cancellation charges, or for the unused portion of your trip should it be interrupted for certain specified reasons.

Vancouver - It All Starts There!
convention center and shipYour Alaskan journey with Havana in Alaska starts on August 13, 2008 in Vancouver, BC where we will set sail at 5 pm.

A beautiful city on the west coast of Canada, Vancouver is next to the Pacific Ocean and the coastal mountains. A clean and safe downtown with a multitude of stylish shops. Ample sporting opportunities from sailing to skiing, or just walking round the giant Stanley Park that reaches out from downtown towards the North Shore. The perfect place to start a cruise to Alaska.

Free things to do!

Walking around in downtown Vancouver. The Cruise Ship Terminal is conveniently located downtown near the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Center.

Other walks around Vancouver.

Finally I want to share with you a quote I found on the website of an awesome dance instructor I know:
           
"Be glad of Life because it gives you the chance to

                   Dance and to Dream, to Love and to Laugh,
                   to Work and to Play and to look up at the stars."

Warm regards from Victoria, Felix, Mary and the rest of the
              of the Havana in Alaska team.
