If you’re looking to visit Alaska then this vast wilderness doesnt end by cruising the Inside Passage. I found that the inner National Parks were far more spectacular in their grandeur. Please don’t cut yourself short by not travelling just a short journey further into the likes of Denali, Mt McKinley, Fairbanks or Copper River. Princess Cruises has set up a seamless program that transfers you from the ship to their Princess hotels. They will take care of your luggage just like they do onboard the ship.
There are a number of ways to approach their cruisetours. You can take the Denali Explorer option: this transfers you directly from the ship to their Denali Wilderness Lodge, Mt McKinley Wilderness Lodge or Fairbanks Lodge. The tours vary in the number of nights you spend in each hotel. Below is a summary of your Denali Explorer options.

Princess Cruises has set up a seamless program transfers you from one Princess hotel to the next. They will take care of your luggage just like they do onboard the ship. You do have the option to pre-pay for all the meals ahead of time so you don’t need to worry about meals in the hotel.

Off the Beaten Path gives you the opportunity to travel further afield into the depths of the Alaskan region – namely to their Copper River Wildness Lodge or/and Kenai Wilderness Lodge. These stays will be combined with stays in the Denali Explorer option. Getting from one location to another is by coach due to the remoteness. It’s incredibly scenic. I myself have visited the Copper River Wilderness Lodge and found the views outstanding. They also have an amazing inhouse Northern Lights show that you can watch if you don’t manage to see the real deal.

If you are more independant, then you can choose to do it alone with their On Your Own option. This gives you the freedom to explore yourself – do it in your own time but includes the hotel stays and the cruise. Or if would prefer the opposite, you have the Connoisseur option. Connosseur land and sea holidays have a tour escort meet you once you disembark the cruise and they will travel with you throughout your journey. What I love about this is they have a wealth of knowledge and their whole job is to enlightening you on what you’re seeing, and give you depth of understanding to the history, ecology and culture of the surrounding region.
