University of Wisconsin-Madison presents an educational cruise study tour
opportunity for librarians and their friends/families
LIBRARIANS' CRUISE TO MEXICO AND 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 with your local travel agent
is recommended.
