A GREAT TRAVEL VALUE – SAVE 5% (UP TO $328)* PER CABIN!

Dear Traveler,

I cordially invite you to join us for a highly focused and delightful six-day cruise exploring the San Francisco Bay Area and Napa Valley Wine Country. Departing October 31, 2005, this remarkable voyage features a host of renowned master chefs from the Bay Area who will come aboard to prepare culinary events during each departure.

Aboard the yacht like Yorktown Clipper, we’ll sail leisurely along the San Francisco waterfront, cruise beneath the Golden Gate Bridge and anchor off Sausalito’s beautiful yacht marina with Mt. Tamalpais as a backdrop.

The U.S.-flag Yorktown Clipper is the perfect vessel for exploring the Bay Area. Small enough to navigate easily in secluded waterways, our ship really becomes your floating “bayside inn,” providing an up-close perspective of the area’s scenic attributes and the convenience of unpacking only once while experiencing the character and charm of both sides of the bay.

In addition to the special meals and desserts prepared by our guest chefs, we’ll also enjoy superb cuisine freshly prepared to order by Clipper’s master chefs. The lifestyle on board our small ships is delightfully casual – free from regimentation, casinos, or Las Vegas-style variety shows, promoting good companionship and the choice to be as active or as relaxed as you like.

The ship’s amenities include comfortable, all-outside staterooms with private bathrooms, a window-lined dining salon where meals are served at single leisurely seatings, and a spacious and comfortable Observation Lounge with excellent views of the scenic land- and cityscapes that surround you. Ample deck space allows you to enjoy the idyllic weather and marvelous views.

The Yorktown Clipper is all about America…a U.S.-flag ship built in the U.S., visiting American ports, and featuring friendly service by an all-American crew whose charm and energy are the heart and soul of the clipper experience.

IMPORTANT: Through our excellent relationship with our friends at Clipper, we have been able to secure the special rates shown below, representing savings of 5% (up to $328 per cabin, categories 1-5 only)* off the regular rates.

This unique itinerary is sure to sell out quickly. The Yorktown Clipper has just 69 cabins, so I urge you to avoid disappointment and make your reservations without delay. Please call me at (800) 852-6519 to reserve the cabin of your choice.

I hope you will decide to join us for this delightful journey.

Sincerely,

Karrie Williams
Alumni Director
