Day 6, Friday, August 15
Today, only one stop is planned, the Oomingmak Cooperative. This knitter’s cooperative is a group of Eskimo villages that lend their skills to creating scarves, Eskimo smoke rings, known as nachaqs, and luxurious caps. Each village has its own signature pattern derived from traditional designs.
The rest of the day is yours to enjoy. See the many points of interest in Anchorage, Alaska! Visit one of Anchorage’s many shops, restaurants, parks, and gardens; as well as one of the finest museums in the country. The day is yours to shop and explore! CB

A late lunch is served on board, featuring Alaskan Salmon and prime rib.
Later today, we take the Alyeska Aerial Tramway up Mount Alyeska for a great last view of the vast frontier of Alaska. We return later this evening to our hotel in Anchorage. CB, L
