This summer, two day cruises are available:

 Dates:                   Saturdays, June 29^th and July 27^th

 Time:                     7:30 AM to 6:00 PM (approximately)

 Location:              Auke Bay Harbor—Juneau, Alaska

Space is limited, so in order to participate interested elders must complete and return a registration form (click here to download:  Elders’ Day Cruise Registration Form).  Completed forms may be faxed (907) 790-4999, emailed shareholder@goldbelt.com, or returned to the corporate office at 3075 Vintage Blvd, Ste 200 in Juneau. 

Once received, registration forms will be processed and elders will be notified of which day cruise they are scheduled.  Tickets for the elder and their guest will be mailed.  Please note tickets are not transferrable.

Regretfully, while the Allen Marine catamarans being chartered are ADA accessible, they are only able to accommodate manual wheel chairs. We are unable to accommodate motorized scooters or battery powered mobile devices.  Elders who participate in the daytrip must be moderately mobile and able to board and de-board the catamaran without the assistance of their wheelchair.

Finally, while the Elders Daytrip is being offered at no charge, for those elders who live out of town, Goldbelt is unable cover transportation costs to and from Juneau.  Additionally, in order to accommodate all eligible elders, participation is limited to one time only per elder.
