University of Wisconsin-Madison presents two educational cruise study tour
opportunities for librarians and their friends/families
(1) LIBRARIANS' CRUISE TO THE CARIBBEAN
Departing Nassau on December 28, 1997 for 8 days.
Adventures in an Enchanted Land...For 18 years, World Explorer Cruises has
been showing passengers the uncommon route to Alaska. Now join us as we set
sail with World Explorer Cruises on an uncommon route around the Caribbean,
retracing the course of the great Spanish galleons.
We'll meet the ghosts of lost civilizations as we call on the crumbled ruins
of their once magnificent cities. With in-depth lectures on board ship,
your knowledge and understanding of the Caribbean will grow and deepen in
ways no mere academic course or glamour cruise could ever provide.
Where possible, tours of libraries at ports-of-call will be arranged. We
will also have discussion sessions on Caribbean literature [in English].
Early booking is advised. In addition, this is a busy time of year for air
travel, so early booking of your flight to Nassau is recommended. IF YOU
REGISTER BEFORE JULY 16, YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A FREE CABIN UPGRADE.
