If your clients have specific interests (think culinary, photography, history), we recommend taking a look at AdventureSmith Explorations' new list of specialty small ship cruises, all slated to depart in 2010.

Photo fans? Cruise around Alaska, British Columbia and the San Juan Islands with National Geographic photographers. This cruise departs April 27 and September 5.

A spring wildlife photo adventure cruise is set for May 3, sailing around Prince William Sound.

Set sail on June 6 and August 18 for Alaska's Inside Passage photo cruises.

For foodies, we hear that October 2, 9 and November 6 are dates to keep in mind. Cruise Washington and Oregon's rivers for private wine tours and tastings.

Learn about the history of the Northwest Passage aboard Kapitan Khelbnikov on its final voyage. Naval historian and author Andrew Lambert will be on board speaking on his new book, The Gates of Hell: Sir John Franklin's Tragic Quest for the Northwest Passage.
