14 night Cruise Tour

Day 1: Fairbanks
Alaska's "Golden Heart City" of Fairbanks is a great introduction to the heart of this unique state.

Day 2: Fairbanks
This morning, take a Gold Dredge 8 tour with the chance to pan for your own gold. Enjoy a miner's lunch before taking a cruise on an authentic Sternwheeler Riverboat down the Chena River. The evening is at leisure in Fairbanks.

Day 3: Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge
This morning, say goodbye to Fairbanks for the spectacular trip to Denali National Park via rail. You'll be welcomed at the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge for a 2-night retreat. Check in with the Guest Service Desk for help in planning your own Denali adventure like a husky homestead tour, river rafting, hiking, glacier flightseeing or an off-road ATV adventure. Or you may enjoy the spectacular main lodge, river view deck, and Princess Village with the popular Christmas cottage and sugar shack. Be sure to check out Fannie Q's Saloon, named after a famed local homesteader, or sit outside at a fireside patio.

Day 4: Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge
Start your morning with a quick stop at Fannie Q's saloon for a hearty buffet breakfast. Explore Denali National Park on a Natural History Tour, watching for glimpses of Denali as well as Denali's "Big Five"; bears, moose, caribou, wolves and Dall sheep. Later today, you may want to simply relax with a glass of wine on the deck overlooking the Nenana River. Visit the Grizzly Burger to indulge in the Ernesto Burger, or grab a slice at Lynx Creek Pizza.

Day 5: Mt. Mckinley Princess Wilderness Lodge
Transfer by motorcoach to the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge. After getting settled in, have a glass of wine out on the deck or sit and gaze at the majesty of "The Great One" from the lodge's treehouse designed and built by Pete Nelson of Animal Planet's Treehouse Masters.

Day 6: Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge
Next you'll head by motorcoach across the stunning Kenai peninsula to Cooper Landing and the Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge.

Day 7: Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge
A full day in the beauty of the Kenai Peninsula awaits you. Perhaps you'll explore Kenai Fjords National Park, spend the afternoon river rafting or go fishing. Later, return to your bungalow-style room with its wood-burning stove and sun porch for an evening of pure relaxation.

Day 8: Whittier
Relax this morning before boarding a motorcoach to Whittier and your awaiting ship. Embark and sail this evening.
