A new small-ship cruise company is being launched in Alaska next year.
Alaskan Dream Cruises is being established next spring by Alaska-based Allen Marine Tours.
The fleet will include two former Cruise West vessels, purchased after the company shut down in September.
The new three-ship cruise line will focus on wildlife, culture and sustainable travel.
Alaskan Dream Cruises will launch in May 2011 offering eight-day, seven-night trips from Sitka, including stops at Inside Passage destinations such as Icy Strait Point, Point Adolphus, Hobart Bay, Tracy Arm and Glacier Bay National Park.
