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.

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 North America?s tallest peak as well as Denali's "Big Five?, moose, caribou, bears, 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, depart via motorcoach to the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge. The main attraction is the 20,310-foot mountain visible from nearly anywhere on the lodge's property.

A full day at the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge means you'll have ample time to both relax and explore. The nature trails around the grounds is a pleasant way to get a sense of the place. And our Princess staff can help you choose from a generous offering of excursions. 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.

Take in final views of the mountain, 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!
