Cruise InformationThere are 3 Alaskan cruises sailing around GeoWoodstock, one the week before the event and two after. Info below!
Cruise to Alaska BEFORE GeoWoodstock VIII!
FamilyDNA couldn't fit the cruise after GeoWoodstock into their schedule, so they have made arrangements for a cruise before. The following is the info they posted in the forums:
"We love the idea of combining our trip to Geowoodstock with an Alaska cruise, but the post-Geowoodstock dates just didn't work as well for us. We have opted instead to take our cruise before the event, and want to open this up for others who may prefer these dates as well:
