3. A Little Fun

Alaska
- The Big 10 Alaksa Cruise

Big 10 alums, it’s time to check Alaska off your bucket list! Join us for Alaskan wilderness wonders on this ten-night cruise aboard Oceania Cruises’ Regatta June 17-27, 2022. As a Big 10 cruiser, you’ll enjoy events arranged specially for you, like engaging talks by Verne Lundquist, plus private Big 10 tailgates and receptions, and unique activities with Big 10 ambassadors. Come along on this escape that caters to your sense of adventure, such as old-growth rain forest hikes in Ketchikan, salmon sportfishing in Sitka, and a wildlife science expedition in Icy Strait Point, all against the backdrop of mighty fjords, totem-lined forest trails and pristine glacial waters.
