For example, photographer, writer and wildlife biologist David Shaw, who also guides birding, photography and natural history trips throughout Alaska, will sail on the April 21 'Alaska: Northern Passages & Glacier Bay' voyage.
Historian and writer Daniel Francis, whose 30 books include the 'Encyclopedia of British Columbia' and others on topics from fur trading to Canadian stereotypes and myths, will be aboard the May 13 'Alaska's Inside Passage & San Juans' cruise.
Fiona Hamersley Chambers, enthobotanist and instructor of environmental studies and ethnobotany at the University of Victoria and seed farmer on Vancouver Island, BC, joins the May 12 'Alaska's Inside Passage & San Juans' cruise.
