Step off your ship and board a catamaran for a scenic journey to Valdez. Continue via motorcoach to the Copper River Princess Wilderness Lodge.

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.

Next you'll head by motorcoach across the stunning Kenai peninsula to Cooper Landing and the 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.

Board your comfortable motorcoach for a scenic drive that takes you to the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge. 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. Hear stories about climbing the mountain in the Hudson Theater or roast a marshmallow at the fireside patio

Between our two Denali lodges is some of Alaska's most beautiful scenery. Sightsee by motorcoach to Talkeetna then enjoy Princess Rail service to the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge, situated a short shuttle ride away from spectacular Denali National Park. Easy trails link the various places to shop and dine in this campus setting.

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.

Take in final views of the mountains, perhaps over a leisurely cup of coffee, before you transfer via motorcoach to Fairbanks.

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