Discover the Best of Alaska on a 12-Day Land & Sea Cruise Tour
Experience Alaska’s untamed beauty from deep in the interior to the glacier-carved coast.
Get ready for the ultimate Alaskan adventure—one that takes you far beyond the coastline to the heart of the Last Frontier. This 12-day Land & Sea Cruise Tour combines the rugged wilderness of Alaska’s interior with the majestic landscapes of its iconic shores, offering a truly unforgettable journey.
Begin in the Heart of the Frontier: Fairbanks
Your journey starts in Fairbanks, famously known as the “Golden Heart City.” Steeped in Gold Rush history and surrounded by pristine wilderness, Fairbanks offers unique experiences like panning for gold or exploring the enchanting Aurora Ice Museum. A scenic cruise aboard an authentic sternwheeler down the Chena River provides your first glimpse of Alaska’s iconic wildlife, including moose, caribou, and bears.
Explore Denali National Park
Next, travel to Denali National Park—home to North America’s tallest peak, Denali. From your base at the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge, take in panoramic mountain views and venture into the park on a guided wildlife tour. This is your chance to spot the famed Alaskan “Big Five”: grizzly bears, moose, caribou, wolves, and Dall sheep, along with many other native species.
Journey by Rail to the Coast
From the wilderness, you’ll transition to the coast in style aboard Princess Cruises’ exclusive Direct-to-the-Wilderness® Rail Service. Travel through awe-inspiring landscapes in glass-domed railcars, complete with open-air viewing platforms and onboard commentary from expert guides. Keep your camera ready—this part of the journey is a photographer’s dream!
Cruise Alaska’s Inside Passage
Once in Whittier, you’ll board a Princess Cruises ship for seven days of cruising through the pristine waters of Alaska’s Inside Passage. Sail past towering fjords, calving glaciers, and remote islands as you make your way through some of the state’s most spectacular ports of call:
Skagway – Step back into the Gold Rush era in this historic town, or opt for thrilling excursions like dogsledding or kayaking.
Juneau – Alaska’s remote capital is rich with adventure, from hiking Mendenhall Glacier to whale watching and rainforest tours.
Ketchikan – Known for its impressive collection of totem poles and vibrant native culture, this town also offers lumberjack shows, fishing charters, and nature hikes.
End in Vibrant Vancouver
Your cruise concludes in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia—a city worth extending your stay to explore. Walk across the breathtaking Capilano Suspension Bridge, enjoy panoramic views from Grouse Mountain, or immerse yourself in the charm of historic Gastown.
