sounds awesome, it says call for pricing so I guess it is pretty expensive, I would love to go.

Lisa and I attended a Picture Perfect Alaskan Cruise last summer held by Cruising Through Life as a part of our honeymoon. It was simply amazing!

We had a blast in all of the classes, excursions and just being on the ship because we had so many great experiences with a ton of other photographers we met while in those seminars and conferences. Having met a ton of photographers that "get it" and that were just as passionate about photography as we were was a great treat indeed. It made the cruise much more worth it in our opinion.

Lisa and I had been on cruises in the past with another line... and afterwards vowed to never go on another one again because it was not a good experience at all. We were a bit apprehensive about doing another one but this one revolving around photography sold us on it quick. After the first day we knew we made the right decision...

The Norwegian Cruise Line ships are much more advanced and more welcoming than the other lines we had been on. From start to finish they were first class. We enjoyed every bit of our stay and the amenities available on board.

At the end of the Alaskan cruise they held a photography contest for all seminar attendees in which various prizes were given out and the Grand Prize was a Free Cruise and Seminar to this Hawaii trip! Well I came up just short with my second place finish but my wife Lisa edged me out and won first place! So Lisa and I will be on this Hawaii Cruise and we can't wait!

Hope to see you guys there!

Hi Jessica,

Pricing is starting at about $1500 a person (based on double occupancy). That includes the seminar, the cruise, your meals, 24 hour room service, use of all the facilities onboard the ship, as well as the two complimentary shore excursions with the photographers.

Just to echo what Abel said, we couldn't have asked for a greater group of people last year - it was truly amazing.

You can take a look at a few pictures taken by a local photographer and resident newspaper reporter. here.

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hope to see you onboard!
