American Safari Cruises releases
2008 dates and rates on Website

SEATTLE, WA — In answer to travel agents’ requests for early information on American Safari Cruises’ adventure-oriented luxury yacht cruises, the company has completed its dates and rates schedule for 2008. Available at www.amsafari.com, the information enables our travel agent partners a jump on next year’s cruises before the company releases its 2008 all-destination brochure in July.

“Among our three yachts and multiple itineraries, we have a lot of room for travelers who want the yacht-cruise experience,” says Tim Jacox, vice president of sales and marketing. This early information should make it easier for agents to help facilitate their clients’ first choice date for either a full-yacht charter or individual stateroom reservation.”

American Safari Cruises operates the 120-foot, 22-guest Safari Quest, the 112-foot, 12-guest Safari Escape and the 105-foot, 12-guest Safari Spirit on inclusive up close yacht cruises in Mexico’s Sea of Cortés , Alaska’s Inside Passage, the Pacific Northwest and on the Columbia and Snake rivers.
