Tourin’ Bearcats offer cruise of Pacific Northwest

A three-night cruise to the Pacific Northwest is the next getaway being offered through Tourin’ Bearcats, the travel program for Northwest Missouri State University alumni and friends.

The trip will take place Sept. 26-29, and reservations are open to the public. Cost is $749 per person, based on double occupancy, and includes airfare and all transfers. Upgrades are available. Reservations, with a $240 deposit, are due May 1, and final payment is due by July 11.

Travelers will depart from Seattle aboard the Celebrity Cruise Mercury, a 1,900-passenger ship noted for its many amenities and award-winning cuisine. Ports of call include the British Columbia cities of Victoria and Nanaimo.

“This cruise will be a great getaway,” said Steve Sutton, Northwest’s director of alumni relations. “There will be a wide range of optional land and shore excursions that travelers of all ages are sure to enjoy.”

Optional excursions include a visit to Butchart Gardens -- a dazzling floral preserve -- for a wine and chocolate tasting; scenic tours with views of magnificent waterfalls; wildlife and sea-life discovery tours; a ride through Port Alberni in a train pulled by a vintage steam engine; and a tour of Victoria in a horse-drawn trolley.

Those wishing to participate in the Tourin’ Bearcats Pacific Northwest cruise are encouraged to reserve space as soon as possible since past cruises have sold out quickly.

Make checks payable to Cotter Travel and mail in care of Northwest Missouri State University, Alumni House, 800 University Drive, Maryville, MO, 64468.
