Step off your ship into a waiting railcar for our exclusive Direct-to-the-Wilderness rail service to the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge. Get settled, and perhaps do an optional excursion. 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.

Explore Denali National Park on a Natural History Tour, watching for glimpses of North America?s tallest peak 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.

This morning journey by motorcoach to the "Golden Heart City" of Fairbanks. The remainder of the day is yours to explore the area.

A full day in Fairbanks gives you time to get a feel for the unique culture and history of the region. You'll take a cruise on an authentic Sternwheeler Riverboat down the Chena River then enjoy a Gold Dredge 8 tour with the chance to pan for your own gold. A hearty miner's lunch is included. The evening is at leisure.

Board your motorcoach for a scenic drive to the Copper River Princess Wilderness Lodge where you'll spend two nights. The lodge welcomes you with incredible views of Mt. Drum, Mt. Wrangell and Mt. Blackburn.

Enjoy a full day of leisure. Choose from many optional excursions that let you explore America's largest National Park - Wrangell-St. Elias. Step outside to stroll along the Klutina Lake Trail or explore the Copper River Valley - rich in Native Alaskan culture and famous for its legendary red salmon.

Take in final views of the mountains, perhaps over a leisurely cup of coffee, before you transfer via motorcoach to Anchorage and the Hotel Captain Cook. This is Alaska's largest city, so get out and explore the shops, restaurants and cultural attractions.

Your cruisetour ends in Anchorage, but your memories of this trip will last a lifetime!
