PROGRAM PURPOSE

Based on the most recent data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), in the year 2011-2012, nearly 70% of adult Americans were overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) or obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2). Obesity is recognized as a multifactorial, chronic, inflammatory disease whereby excess body fat is accumulated through complex interactions between the environment, genetic predisposition, human metabolism, neuroendocrine and behavioral factors.

At any given time, an estimated 55% of the population is participating in a medically managed or self-selected weight-loss program, with the majority of participants failing to lose or sustain weight loss. Of those successful with weight loss, > 60% will regain their lost weight by the end of year one following their initial weight loss success. Fewer than 15% of adults participate in regular exercise and over 65% of adults are sedentary. Lifestyle and behavioral interventions form the foundation for the management of cardiovascular risk factors to achieve improved short- and long-term outcomes, including measures of quality of life.

Hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome and inflammation are the primary modifiable components arising from obesity and overweight. Research has demonstrated that successful management of obesity and overweight requires both sustained lifestyle changes with frequent follow-up as well as the simultaneous medical management of cardiovascular risk factors. The increasing prevalence of obesity and overweight in patients impacts the clinical decisions, management strategies and health outcomes of all health care clinicians, regardless of their clinical specialty. Thus, this conference has been designed with the overall objective to equip healthcare providers with the most current scientific clinical research examining the magnitude of the problem, genetic and environmental causes, pathophysiology, and complications related to the obesity epidemic. This understanding will be translated into the clinical setting throughout the conference with current evidence-based strategies for the practical treatment of obesity and its related comorbidities.

Topics:

The impact of obesity as a chronic disease on our health care system.
- Examine the pervasiveness of obesity as a chronic disease, the propensity of interrelated co-morbidities, and the impact on health.
Mechanisms linking excess adiposity to metabolic dysregulation.
- Describe how excess adiposity is linked to metabolic dysregulation.
Mood disorders associated with insulin resistance and obesity.
- Assess how selected obesity-related complications, such as mood disorders, eating disorders, and sleep apnea impact management strategies.
Current and future considerations in pharmacotherapy for obesity and overweight.
- Evaluate new recommendations in the use of current pharmacologic agents and the future development of agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and overweight.
The role that genetics plays in the obesity epidemic.
- Distinguish the relationship between genetics and environment in the etiology of obesity.
The efficacy of bariatric surgery and the management of bariatric patients.
- Describe the efficacy of bariatric surgical procedures on the pathophysiology and management of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Lifestyle and behavioral strategies and interventions for the management of diabetes, obesity and overweight.
- Examine the interrelationship between physical exercise, diet, intestinal microbiome and the body immune system that underlie rational management of obesity.

PORTS OF CALL

Seattle, Washington

Think of Seattle not as a starting line, but as the first, exceptional chapter of your vacation. While it’s tempting to fly in on the morning of your cruise, we strongly advise against it. A simple flight delay can put your entire trip in jeopardy. Instead, we encourage our clients to arrive one or two days early, transforming a logistical necessity into a memorable urban exploration. This allows you to decompress, adjust to the time zone, and immerse yourself in the unique character of the Pacific Northwest before you even step on the ship.

**Getting Your Bearings**

Getting from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) to the downtown hotel district is refreshingly straightforward. For a seamless and budget-conscious transfer, the Link Light Rail is an excellent choice. The 40-minute ride takes you directly to Westlake Station in the heart of the city, a short walk or taxi from most major hotels. Of course, ride-sharing services and taxis are also readily available.

**A Perfect Pre-Cruise Day in Seattle**

With a full day at your disposal, you can experience the city’s essential highlights without feeling rushed. Here’s a suggested itinerary:

**Morning: The Soul of the City at Pike Place Market**
Start your day at the iconic Pike Place Market. More than just a tourist stop, this is the city’s historic heart and pantry. Arrive early to watch the vendors set up and beat the biggest crowds. While the famous fish-throwing is a must-see, the real magic lies deeper. Wander through stalls overflowing with vibrant bouquets, sample artisanal cheeses at Beecher’s Handmade Cheese (watch them make it through the window), and grab a warm, savory pastry from Piroshky Piroshky. The original Starbucks is here, but be prepared for a line; for a superb coffee experience without the wait, we recommend Storyville Coffee Pike Place, located on the top floor with a cozy fireplace and market views.

**Lunch: A Taste of the Waterfront**
For lunch, you can’t do better than a cup of world-class chowder from Pike Place Chowder. The line moves quickly and is absolutely worth it. Enjoy your meal at a nearby table or take it to the adjacent Victor Steinbrueck Park for a picnic with stunning views of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains.

**Afternoon: Iconic Views and Glass Art**
From the market, it’s a pleasant walk or a quick monorail ride to the Seattle Center. Here, you’ll find an unbeatable combination of attractions. Ascend the recently renovated Space Needle for panoramic views of the city, Puget Sound, and, on a clear day, the majestic Mount Rainier. The rotating glass floor offers a thrilling perspective. Right next door is the Chihuly Garden and Glass museum. This is a non-negotiable for anyone who appreciates art and beauty. The vibrant, impossibly intricate glass sculptures are breathtaking, culminating in a magnificent glasshouse that frames the Space Needle in its ceiling.

**Evening: Neighborhood Dining**
Seattle’s culinary scene is a highlight. For a classic Pacific Northwest seafood dinner with waterfront views, make a reservation at Elliott’s Oyster House. For a more contemporary experience, venture into the Capitol Hill neighborhood, known for its vibrant energy and exceptional restaurants. Or, consider the historic Ballard neighborhood, where a spot like The Walrus and the Carpenter offers a celebrated take on local oysters and small plates in a lively, intimate setting. Reservations are highly recommended for any top-tier restaurant.

**If You Have a Second Day**

An extra day allows you to explore further. Consider a quintessential Puget Sound experience: a 35-minute ferry ride to Bainbridge Island. The journey itself provides the best possible views of the Seattle skyline. Once there, you can stroll through the charming main street of Winslow, with its boutiques, cafes, and galleries. Alternatively, dive into modern culture at the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), an architectural marvel designed by Frank Gehry, or explore Seattle’s oldest neighborhood, Pioneer Square, known for its Victorian architecture and fascinating Underground Tour.

By arriving early, you don’t just see Seattle—you experience it. You’ll board your cruise relaxed, enriched, and ready for the adventure ahead, with the spirit of the Emerald City as your perfect send-off.

At Sea - Cruising

Juneau, Alaska

Juneau is a quintessential Alaskan port, a capital city uniquely isolated by wilderness and accessible only by air or sea. This isolation is its charm, creating a place where dramatic nature is always the main event. The undisputed star is the Mendenhall Glacier, a magnificent river of ice just a short drive from the docks. The visitor center provides spectacular views, but for a truly memorable experience, we recommend a helicopter tour that lands you directly on the glacier itself—an investment, but one that pays dividends in awe.

Beyond the glacier, Juneau is one of Alaska’s premier whale-watching destinations. The nutrient-rich waters of the Inside Passage are a summer feeding ground for humpback whales, and sightings are exceptionally common. For a different perspective, the Mount Roberts Tramway, which departs right from the cruise ship dock, whisks you 1,800 feet up for panoramic views of the Gastineau Channel and the surrounding Tongass National Forest.

The downtown area is compact, historic, and easily explored on foot. While it can be bustling with fellow cruisers, it’s worth a stroll down South Franklin Street to see the preserved architecture. For a dose of culture, the Alaska State Museum offers a superb collection of Native Alaskan and pioneer history. While the famous Red Dog Saloon is a lively and historic stop, for a more authentic taste of Juneau, seek out a local salmon bake. Juneau delivers exactly what you hope for in Alaska: breathtaking scenery and wildlife encounters that feel both grand and accessible.

Hubbard Glacier

Hubbard Glacier is not a port of call in the traditional sense; it is a destination for pure observation, a slow-motion encounter with one of nature’s most powerful forces. There are no towns, no tours, and no tenders to shore. The entire experience unfolds from the deck of your ship as it navigates the ice-strewn waters of Disenchantment Bay.

The glacier itself is a spectacle of scale. At its terminus, the river of ice is over six miles wide, with a face that towers up to 400 feet above the waterline. Its most striking feature is its color—a deep, incandescent blue that seems to glow from within, a result of ancient, densely compacted ice absorbing every other color of the spectrum. The experience is auditory as much as it is visual. Listen for the sharp crack and deep groan of the ice, a sound that precedes the dramatic spectacle of calving. When a skyscraper-sized block of ice shears off and crashes into the sea, the sound, often called “white thunder,” echoes across the bay. This is a living, moving landscape; unlike most Alaskan glaciers, Hubbard is advancing, slowly pushing its way into the bay. Find a good vantage point, perhaps with a warm drink and binoculars, and simply watch. It is a profound, humbling display of geological time in action.

Sitka, Alaska

Sitka offers a compelling depth that sets it apart from many Alaskan ports. It’s a genuine crossroads of Tlingit, Russian, and American history, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the dormant volcano, Mount Edgecumbe. While the main cruise dock is a few miles out, frequent shuttles make accessing the compact, walkable downtown effortless. Once there, you’ll find St. Michael’s Cathedral, an onion-domed landmark that speaks to Sitka’s past as the capital of Russian America.

The true cultural heart, however, is a short walk away at Sitka National Historical Park. We highly recommend the scenic trail that winds through a temperate rainforest, lined with magnificent Tlingit and Haida totem poles that tell stories of clans and legends. For wildlife, Sitka delivers in an unusually accessible and meaningful way. The Alaska Raptor Center, a rehabilitation facility for eagles, owls, and other birds of prey, offers incredible up-close encounters. Equally impressive is the Fortress of the Bear, a sanctuary providing a safe, naturalistic home for rescued brown bears. Both are a short ride from town and are well worth the trip. Out on the water, the Sitka Sound is famously dotted with charming sea otters, often seen floating on their backs. Sitka isn't about manufactured tourist attractions; it's a port that rewards the curious traveler with authentic encounters—with history, with wildlife, and with a profound sense of place that feels uniquely Alaskan.

Ketchikan, Alaska

Ketchikan is often your first taste of Alaska, and it’s a potent one. As the self-proclaimed "Salmon Capital of the World," this bustling town is built on fishing, timber, and the rich cultural heritage of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples. Its authenticity is its greatest asset.

From the cruise dock, you're steps away from the town's most famous sight: Creek Street. This historic boardwalk, once the city's notorious red-light district, is now a charming collection of colorful stilted houses, galleries, and shops perched over the rushing creek. It’s an essential photo-op and a delightful place for a stroll, easily explored on your own.

To truly appreciate the region's soul, seek out the magnificent totem poles. The Totem Heritage Center, a manageable walk or short taxi ride from the port, houses a stunning collection of original 19th-century poles rescued from abandoned villages. It’s a quiet, powerful museum that offers deep insight into Native Alaskan artistry and tradition. For a more expansive outdoor setting, Totem Bight State Historical Park is another excellent choice, though it requires a short tour or taxi ride.

While the town is engaging, Ketchikan’s grandeur lies in the surrounding wilderness. For a truly unforgettable day, a floatplane or boat tour into the Misty Fjords National Monument is an unparalleled experience. These glacier-carved cliffs and serene waters are the Alaska you've dreamed of. For a more accessible nature fix, you can often spot salmon fighting their way upstream at the Ketchikan Creek fish ladder right in town during the summer season. Ketchikan is compact and can feel busy, but by focusing on either its rich cultural core or the spectacular nature at its doorstep, you'll find it a deeply rewarding port of call.

Victoria, British Columbia

Victoria offers a distinctly civilized and manageable port day, a welcome change of pace from more sprawling destinations. Its compact, walkable Inner Harbour is the city’s heart, framed by the grand legislative buildings and the iconic Fairmont Empress hotel. This is where you’ll find the city’s pulse, and it’s an excellent starting point.

For many, the main draw is the world-renowned Butchart Gardens. We'll be direct: it's a masterpiece of horticulture and absolutely worth the visit if you're a passionate gardener. However, be mindful that it requires a significant bus or taxi ride (about 30-40 minutes each way), consuming a fair portion of your day. If you prefer to stay local, you won't be disappointed.

The Royal BC Museum, conveniently located at the Inner Harbour, is one of Canada's best, offering compelling exhibits on both natural and human history that can easily fill a few hours. A short, pleasant walk from the main harbour leads to Fisherman's Wharf, a quirky collection of floating homes and food kiosks where you can enjoy fresh fish and chips while watching seals play. For a dose of Victorian grandeur, Craigdarroch Castle provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a 19th-century coal baron. Or, simply stroll through the manicured lawns of nearby Beacon Hill Park.

Victoria's strength lies in its quality and accessibility. Whether you opt for a grand garden tour or a simple, elegant walk around the harbour, it delivers a polished and memorable experience without feeling overwhelming.

Why Protect your Trip?

Whether you’re planning your next trip or you recently booked one, travel insurance can help smooth over many unexpected travel glitches—while putting your mind at ease, knowing you’re off the hook for covered expenses that could arise from them.

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can provide you benefits and professional support when a covered situation comes up before or during your trip. The following examples may qualify for benefits:

Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion
Having to end your trip early due to a family emergency
Dealing with a flight delay or cancellation
Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost or stolen

Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
Your parent or child requires hospitalization
You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION

Arranges and pays for medically necessary transportation following a covered injury or illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility to receive care and get you home after treatment.

BAGGAGE LOSS, DAMAGE, or THEFT

Reimburses the replacement of your lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and personal items while traveling.

BAGGAGE DELAY

Reimburses essential items purchased during your trip if your baggage is delayed for a minimum number of hours (varies by plan).

CHANGE FEE

Reimburses fees if you need to change your flight itinerary due to a covered reason.
