Alaska Cruisetours Princess cruisetour packages, featuring a Voyage of the Glaciers
cruise and a selection of three- to nine-night land tour options, offer
a complete land/sea exploration of "The Great Land." Travelers can
choose the way they want to experience the wilderness with Direct to
the Wilderness, Classic Alaska, Explorer and Alaska Escorted
cruisetour options. All Princess Alaska cruisetour options offer at
least two nights at either Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge or
Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge, or a combination of both,
ensuring that travelers enjoy more time among the Denali-area wilderness
and wildlife they came to see.
Direct to the Wilderness tours feature trains conveniently
waiting right at the Whittier cruise ship dock to offer passengers the
only same-day luxury rail service between the ship and Denali Park --
the only experience of its kind. Classic Alaska packages combine
two nights in the park area with overnights in Anchorage and Fairbanks,
and include Princess' famed rail service. Explorer tours include
visits to Denali and other areas in the state, with stays at Princess'
Copper River or Kenai wilderness lodges or adventures in the north into
the Arctic Circle. Alaska Escorted tours offer three itineraries
featuring the services of a professional guide and including most meals.
Princess' Alaska cruisetours include accommodation at the line's
five exclusive wilderness lodges, with scenic riverside settings in
some of the state's most desirable locations. Denali Princess
Wilderness Lodge and Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge
house visitors to the Denali area, while the company's Kenai
Princess Wilderness Lodge and Copper River Princess
Wilderness Lodge are set, respectively, among the dramatic
beauty of the Kenai Peninsula and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
and Preserve. The Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge also
offers quality accommodations in the heart of Alaska's interior, set
on the Chena River.

DENALI NATIONAL PARK TOURS
UPGRADE SPECIAL:
National Park Service.
Ask about our
upgrade from the Natural History Tour to the Denali - Tundra Wilderness Tour
(subject to availability at time of booking.)
Denali - Natural History Tour
The Denali Natural History Tour is an approximate 5-hour, fully
narrated tour that travels to Primrose Ridge at Mile 17 within
Denali National Park and Preserve. With a focus on the rich,
cultural history of the park, this tour makes several stops with
programs that depict the diverse native and early pioneer influences
that make Denali special. Hear about the history and culture that
surrounds you at a Living History presentation, while visiting
Savage Cabin, and find out more about the local native culture and
their stories at Primrose Ridge. Your driver/naturalist will provide
a great introduction to the landscape, geology and history of Denali
National Park. The tour will include a stop at the Wilderness Access
Center for a viewing of "Through Time & Tundra" to set the
perspective of traveling the park road. Morning and afternoon tours
are available. Exact departure times are not guaranteed and are
based on demand and availability. Note: Weather conditions and
animal behavior affect wildlife viewing. The tours are operated
inside the park by the National Park Service.
|
Denali - Tundra Wilderness Tour
|
For visitors wanting to know about Denali National Park’s varied
landscapes and wildlife, this 6-8 hour fully narrated tour takes
visitors to the Toklat River at mile 54 of the Park Road. While we
can't predict nor promise when and where wildlife may show up, this
tour travels deep into the heart of the park and will allow you
ample opportunity to look for Dall sheep, moose, caribou and the
elusive grizzly bear. On days when Denali (Mt. McKinley) is visible,
it may be possible to travel to Stony Hill Overlook at mile 62 where
the mountain first becomes fully visible from base to summit - an
impressive view. Exact departure times are not guaranteed and are
based on availability. Note: Weather conditions and animal behavior
affect wildlife viewing. The tours are operated inside the park by
the National Park Service.
