According to Alaska’s Resource Development Council, approximately 1.5 million people visited the state in 2010, and there’s a reason for that. Whether you’re a history buff who wants to take advantage of the many museums or you want to go fly fishing in the Kenai River, you’ll find that there is something for everyone here in this exciting destination.
One of the most popular ways to see the state is by booking a cruise aboard Princess Cruises Coral Princess or Holland America’s Statendam. But, by taking a Cruise Tour, you can extend your trip so you can enjoy a luxury cruise and satisfy your adventurous side by enjoying a land tour.
Among other places, your land portion of the cruise tour may include Fairbanks, Denali National Park, Mt. McKinley, Kenai Peninsula and Whittier.
In Fairbanks, you can board an authentic sternwheeler and take a gold mine tour. Take a break for lunch where a hearty meal is included. To get to Denali National Park, you’ll travel by motorcoach, where after checking into your lodge, you’ll head into the park to embark on a fascinating natural history tour.
After arriving at Mt. McKinley, you’ll have the option to book a biking, hiking or fishing excursion or simply kick back and relax. The choice is yours. Finally, on your way back to Whittier, you can stop at Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in Portage, a non-profit organization committed to the preservation of quality animal care. You’ll get up close and personal with various animals like caribou, elk and musk oxen.
