This summer is a fantastic time to join more than 600 key business and government leaders at the 23rd Annual PNWER Summit! If you haven't registered yet, we encourage you to do so as soon as possible: With a busy Alaskan tourism season ahead, hotel rooms are quickly filling up!
Take advantage of PNWER's early bird-rate (expires April 30) to save up to $100, and book your flight now for the best rates. And most importantly, reserve your room as soon as possible.
Click here to read the preliminary schedule, and check back soon on our Summit website as details become finalized for the agenda.
In addition to tackling major issues impacting the region at the Summit, why not take advantage of being in Alaska? Bring the whole family to explore this state's unique and breathtaking natural beauty.
When you register for the Summit, sign up for the 26 Glacier Cruise on Monday, July 15. The cost is $100 (limited number of spots available).
We will see the world's most spectacular glaciers and wildlife aboard the fastest, largest and most luxurious catamaran in Alaska -- the Klondike Express! You will cruise through the calm, protected waters of Prince William Sound and come face-to-face with towering masses of ice, migratory whales and awe-inspiring Alaska scenery.
The 26 Glacier Cruise travels over 145 miles into Prince William Sound where you will see 26 named glaciers and many more unnamed ones. We get face-to-face with these towering masses of ice, so close, you can hear the glaciers move and are able to gaze at their brilliant blue hues.
You will experience first-rate service, and of course, Phillips Cruises' signature no-seasickness guarantee. This company cruises on the most stable boats in Alaska, and in some of the most protected waters in the state.
Finally, all guests will be treated to lunch, and have access to a full-service cash bar.
GLACIERS
On the 26 Glacier Cruise, you will see several types of glaciers, including Alpine (hanging), Piedmont and Tidewater. Glacier calving's (when broken pieces of ice fall into the water and become icebergs) are normally seen on each cruise.
WILDLIFE
It's not just about the ice; it's also very common to see sea otters, seals, porpoises, sea lions and whales (humpback and orca) during the cruise.
You may also spot bears, mountain goats and bald eagles. At the end of the trip, we stop at a bird rookery which is home to thousands of Kittiwakes.
