Cruise + Land: See It All
If you’re like most visitors, you’ll probably come to Alaska just once. Make the most of your time in the Last Frontier and get the best value by combining land sea. A cruise allows you to experience Alaska’s breathtaking coastal scenery: shimmering tidewater glaciers that crash into the blue ocean, emerald green mountains that rise from water’s edge, and marine wildlife, including whales, harbor seals, sea otters, puffins, and more.

But why just see half of Alaska’s magical nature show? Add a land tour to see Mt. McKinley and the “Rooftop of North America,” Alaska’s “Big Five” in Denali National Park (moose, caribou, bear, Dall sheep, and wolves), mighty glacial rivers thundering out of the mountains, and tundra stretching as far as the eye can see.  

Combine A Self-Guided Land Tour With Your Cruise
After a relaxing cruise, does the possibility of charting your own course intrigue you? Then consider adding one of our self-guided land tours. They assure you’ll hit all the top-name attractions on land and at sea, but also have the freedom, flexibility, and choice to get away from the group and move at your own pace. Pre-book accommodations and day tours that suit your interests. Travel by rail or motorcoach, or rent a car for maximum flexibility.

4- to 10-Day Self-Guided Land Vacations. You’ll have enough time to experience many highlights of interior Alaska like Denali National Park, see Kenai Fjords, and enjoy major towns like Anchorage and Fairbanks, as well as smaller fishing towns like Seward or pioneer towns like Talkeetna.

 1- to 3-Day Pre- & Post-Cruise Add-Ons. If you’re already taking a cruise and don’t have the time for a comprehensive land tour, these are perfect add-ons to give you the experience of Denali or Kenai Fjords. If you only have one day, you may want to spend an extra night in Anchorage.

Cruisetours. A packaged “cruisetour” takes all the stress out of your Alaskan vacation. When you make the transition from ship to shore, the transition will be seamless: you’ll stay with the group and, if you travel with a major cruisetour operator like Princess or Holland America Line, you’ll enjoy the same quality of service on land that you received at sea. You’ll never have to worry about a thing. Your luggage will arrive magically at each destination and your transportation will be pre-arranged to include the most luxurious railcars and motorcoaches in Alaska. Also, we’ve compiled a fascinating list of itineraries from which to choose.

10-day Glacier Bay & Denali. Have just 10 days and want to also see Denali? Go with our direct-to-wilderness cruise offered in conjunction with Princess. It offers rail service traveling direct from ship to train to Denali—all in one day. This innovation allows you to get 2 nights at Denali. Princess-built wilderness lodges at Denali and Mt. McKinley ensure that you enjoy the same quality accommodations and service on land as the line’s spacious ships offer at sea.
