I wanted to get my National Parks Passport stamped at Denali NP and Glacier Bay NP. This land/cruise tour offered those opportunities. We were escorted from the time our plane landed in Fairbanks until we arrived at Vancouver Airport a week later. All excursions were extremely well organized and presented. We loved everything we experienced on shore.
Aboard the ship, we found it difficult ...
Went with another couple for four nights land on our own and seven nights cruise. The mini-cabin stateroom was great. Nice layout, clean, and very comfortable. Most of the staff was friendly. The dining room food was good. The buffet food was okay. We had an amazing experience cruising past a huge pod of orcas that lots of people missed if they didn't have an exterior view while dining. There was ...
My in-laws raved about their north-bound cruise that they took 13+ years ago, having unlimited lobster tail and the adventures that they had.
So our group of 7 included 1 teenager, 4 adults in their 50's and my in-laws (between 80-90).
Four of us did the land tour three days prior, flew out to Fairbanks, traversed our way south visiting Denali to meet up with three others in our party at ...
My husband and I traveled with another couple. We are all in our 60's. We have cruised many times, mostly with Celebrity and Royal Caribbean although with have been on Norwegian, Carnival and this was our 3rd cruise with Princess.
We took the land tour first. We arrived in Anchorage around 8:30pm a day early, since we wanted to spend a day there and get acclimated to the time change. (We're ...
We chose this trip because we’ve never been to Alaska and wanted to see a lot. We did the right thing by doing the 5 day land tour first. We started in Fairbanks and stayed at the Princess River lodge 2 nights. The room was adequate and the beds comfortable. Really enjoyed the River cruise and gold dredge tour but the lunch provided wasn’t good. Perfect weather. On to Denali where we went on the ...
Embarkation/Disembarking was very good. Entertainment was great. They had a comedian who engaged the audience in a fun way. We had the paid coffee package which was just okay. The alcoholic drinks we ordered were excellent. Although the ship was older the public areas were very nice and clean. The food was very good. You are not getting top of the line cuts but still very good. The desserts were ...
We wanted to see Alaska and the glaciers.
Getting on and off the ship was very easy and mostly smooth.
The ship was very clean and the mini-suite with balcony was everything you could ask for.
We were very disappointed with the food. The service in the dining rooms was very good but the food was poor, with the exception of the two specialty dining rooms.
We spent a goodly amount of ...
Inland, Alaska is spectacular as seen from the sea and very familiar to a Kiwi though on a much grander scale than my own New Zealand
Loved the rail trip from Denali to Whittier and enjoyed all the land excursions, especially the wonderfully knowledgeable and entertaining (generally) young tour guides
The cruise experience is marvelous with the entertainment, especially the singers and ...
We started our cruise tour in Fairbanks and traveled through Denali to Anchorage and to Whittier to Board the boat. Every step was well planned, organized and hassle free. Princess and ez air did wonderful carefree work for planning, stops, transfers, etc. Ship embarkation and disembarkation were fast and smooth. Balcony room a must! There are many excursions to choose from. Alaska is a tour to ...
Sailed the inside passage 10 year's ago and decided we wanted to see more - so we did the land tour plus cruise. The land portion was hectic with two nights in Anchorage, McKinley Princess Lodge and Denali Princess Lodge. Relaxing when we joined the ship in Whittier for 7 days. Highly recommend doing the land portion first to get the hectic moving, packing and unpacking and deciding what you need ...
