Tour Highlights
Alaska's "Golden Heart City" of Fairbanks is a great introduction to the heart of this unique state. Check in to your hotel and get ready for the beginning of your adventure.
A cruise along the Chena River on a Sternwheeler Riverboat is about as authentic as it gets. Later, you'll head for Denali National Park via a scenic motorcoach trip to the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge®. Check in with the Guest Service Desk for help in planning your own Denali adventure (additional fees apply). 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 (additional fees may apply), named after a famed local homesteader.
Start your morning with a quick stop at Fannie Q's saloon for a hearty buffet breakfast (additional fees may apply). 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, or grab a slice at Lynx Creek Pizza (additional fees may apply).
This morning you'll travel by motorcoach to Denali State Park for two-nights at the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge®. Take in the sensational views of Denali and the Alaska Range with a glass of wine in the Great Room or on the expansive deck. Hear stories about climbing Denali in the Hudson Theater or roast a marshmallow at the fireside patio.
You have a full day to plan however you choose. Stop by the Tour Desk to book a variety of optional excursions (additional fees apply). Walk the nature trails around the lodge 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.
After a morning enjoying the lodge, you'll transfer to the historic town of Talkeetna to board an Direct-to-the-Wilderness Rail® service for the journey to Whittier and your waiting ship.
