First Cruise Ship of the year…

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

The first Cruisewest Cruise tour ship of the year, the Spirit of Oceanus, landed at Nash Harbor on Sunday the 25th of June.

Students had the opportunity to mingle with the tourists and get to know these visitors, many of whom were visiting from different places around the world. I’m not sure who learned more, the students, the tourists or the NIMA employees…it was a good cross cultural exchange.

The tours included a cultural tour (led by NIMA youth from Mekoryuk, Ben Weston and Amanda), an extended hike up the ridge (led by Wayne Don - NIMA board), history tour (w/ Elder, Joe David and Dr. Rick Knecht) and some Bering Sea kayaking (led by aoc voluteers Steve Carr and Chris Pike) for the adventourous at heart.

About 65 people disembarked from the boat and landed ashore…NIMA corporation officials and Cruisewest administrators viewed it as a success as everyone involved seemed pleased with the outcomes…the tourists left with a better understanding of Nunivak and the people of Alaska, the students got a chance to interact with new and interesting folks and NIMA corporation brought some tourist $ to their island community.

More information on the CruiseWest tours can be found on the Cruisewest blog and on their websites.
