AUGUSTA, Ga. - Morris Communications Corp. has added Destination Alaska to its two existing titles designed for the Alaska travel market, Alaska magazine and The MILEPOST. The purchase was finalized June 19.

The digest-sized publication is a port guide for passengers of cruise ships embarking from Seattle, Wash., Seward, Alaska, and Vancouver, British Columbia. It highlights sightseeing in Alaskan ports of call, listing attractions, dining and shopping, and includes feature articles on topics of regional interest such as artisans, history and scenery.

"This is a quality publication that perfectly complements our other Alaska travel properties," said President Will Morris. "We serve motorists, campers, sportsmen and other travelers with Alaska magazine and The MILEPOST. Destination Alaska serves the cruise segment of the market."

The publication was formerly owned by Destination Media, Santa Barbara, Calif.

Morris Communications is a privately held media company with diversified holdings that include newspaper and magazine publishing, outdoor advertising, radio broadcasting, book publishing and distribution, and computer services.
