Land Travel

Denali National Park, United States

Board the Riverboat Discovery for a trip back in time on the Chena River, stopping along the way to learn frontier living skills at an Athabascan Indian village, watch an Alaskan bush pilot use the river as a runway, and visit Iditarod champion Susan Butcher's kennels. After a scenic drive to Denali National Park, mingle with fellow guests at a Welcome Reception, then get a taste of old-time Alaska at Alaska Cabin Nite Dinner Theater, complete with an all-you-can-eat salmon and barbecue ribs dinner.

Bus Travel

Seward, United States

Your sailing will begin or end in Seward, an Anchorage cruise port about 125 miles from the city. Seward is one of Alaska's oldest communities with a history that goes back to 1793 when Russian fur trader Alexander Baranof first visited. In town, stop by the Alaska SeaLife Center, a marine research facility, to check out the aquarium and observe sea otters frolicking among other cold-water creatures. The town, sandwiched between the Kenai Mountains and Kenai Fjords National Park, is a delight to visit, but the great outdoors is the big draw. Boat tours, with commentary by National Park Service rangers, visit Resurrection Bay and the Kenai Fjords National Park, with its ice-carved landscape and more than three dozen tidewater glaciers. Or, explore by dogsledding, either from a local Iditarod training kennel or farther afield, on top of a glacier (you get there via helicopter).
