Seven Swans a Swimmin', and You'll Be a Crusin'

Dear Friend,

On the seventh day of Christmas, the best thing you could give (or maybe receive!) is a reservation for a wonderful cabin on the National Review 2015 Alaska Summer Cruise.

I'm happy to announce that our all-star lineup of phenomenal conservative speakers for this forthcoming voyage has grown over the last week -- former New Hampshire Governor and Bush 41 Chief of Staff John Sununu will be with us, as will National Review Executive Editor and policy guru supreme Reihan Salam and NR Deputy Managing Editor Katherine Connell.

They join a sterling cast which includes supply-side champion Arthur Laffer, ace economists Stephen Moore and Kevin Hassett, former congresswoman Michele Bachmann, pollster Pat Caddell, National Affairs editor Yuval Levin, Townhall.com editor Katie Pavlich, top social commentators Naomi Schaefer Riley, James Lileks, and Andrew Klavan, military/security experts Pete Hegseth and John Hillen, leading conservative academic Daniel Mahoney, and from NR's editorial All Stars Jonah Goldberg, Rich Lowry, Jay Nordlinger, Ramesh Ponnuru, Kevin Williamson, Eliana Johnson, Jim Geraghty, Kathryn Lopez, Charles Cooke, John Miller, Patrick Brennan, Jillian Melchior, Andrew Johnson, and Joel Gehrke.

Really, an Alaska cruise, and particularly an NR Alaska Cruise, can be (and will be!) the experience of a lifetime. That's why it has the makings of an off-the-charts, super-de-duper Christmas gift. Wouldn't you want to get that in your stocking?

What does the gift entail? It's a phenomenal voyage of 7 nights (July 18-25), visiting the wonderful ports of Seattle, Ketchikan, Sitka, Juneau, and Victoria, B.C., all aboard Holland America Line's luxurious Westerdam, with that delightful experience super-sized by National Review's exclusive program of eight hot-topic policy sessions, two rib-tickling night owls, three revelrous receptions, one delightful late-night smoker featuring H. Upmann world class cigars (and complimentary cognac), and intimate dining on at least two nights with our guest speakers and editors.

Now that's a thoughtful -- heck, beyond thoughtful -- present. So, why not get it, for yourself or for that true love, and make Christmas 2014 memorable (I know, we're stretchin' it here)?

Making a reservation couldn't be simpler. Go to www.nrcruise.com and securely reserve your cabin (there's one for every taste and every budget -- all-inclusive prices start as low as $2,299 per person). Or call the good people at The Cruise Authority (9-5 eastern time, Monday-Friday) at 800-707-1634 -- they can also answer any questions you might have.

Cruise? Or a partridge in a pear tree? Or seven swans? The choice is obvious.

See you in Alaska next July.
