Alaska: Alaska Wildlife Express - Cruisetour 1B (Pre Tour)
Royal Caribbean®
In the center of the state, Denali National Park is blanketed in wildflowers punctuated with mountains, raging rivers and serene lakes. Denali, "The Great One," formerly known as Mt. McKinley, rises to the tallest peak in North America and can be seen from as far away as Anchorage on a clear day. An up-close view is more than worth the expedition during your vacation.

Tour Highlights
Arrive in Anchorage where an airport transfer (included) brings you to the hotel where your Adventure Specialist welcomes you. You're then free to explore the city: visit a local craft brewery, relax over a delicious meal or stroll an urban trail in the evening sunlight. Overnight at the Anchorage Marriott. *Alaska Cruisetour arrival times are tentative. The tour component of your escorted Cruisetour vacation is comprised of tour guide escort, included experiences, lodging and transportation as described. Optional excursions are not included. Meals are not included unless specified as an inclusion.
Enjoy the views from the glass-domed railcars of the Wilderness Express® on the journey from Anchorage. From 4:30 p.m., Denali is yours to explore. Hike the scenic trails that surround the lodge. Or book an optional excursion, like flightseeing or rafting on the Nenana River (additional fees apply). Overnight at Denali Park Village.
Experience the untamed beauty of Denali on the Denali Natural History Tour, scouting the tundra and forest for wildlife with a park ranger. In the afternoon, board your deluxe motor coach for a scenic drive to Talkeetna. From 5:30 p.m., your time is your own in this funky village of lively brew pubs, roadhouse restaurants, welcoming cafes, and unique shops. Overnight at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge.
Take in the scenery on the drive into Anchorage, where there’s time to walk around downtown. Continue on to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center to visit the animals under care. Admire the mountains and forests of the Chugach National Forest en route to the coast where you’ll board the ship in the historic port of Seward.
