Tidal Pages is a small-ship cruise for people who read. Four working authors lead morning workshops and evening readings, and the rest of the day is yours: a window seat, a thick book, a whale if you are lucky.
It is a one-way sailing from Seattle to Ketchikan, which means a long flight home and a good excuse to finish the novel.
