Overview


Denali Explorer & Voyage of the Glaciers

This May departure offers an exceptional opportunity to experience Alaska at a very attractive price — approximately $8,200 for two, including Princess Plus — while still traveling during a wonderful time of year to visit.

Late May brings long daylight hours, snow still blanketing the mountain peaks and beautiful spring scenery throughout Alaska's interior. Wildlife is becoming increasingly active, waterfalls are running strong with spring snowmelt, and the glaciers are especially striking against the surrounding snow-covered mountains. It's also before the busiest part of Alaska's summer season, making this a great time to experience both Denali and the ports along the Inside Passage.

Your adventure begins with four nights on land, traveling from Anchorage into Alaska's spectacular interior with stays at the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge and Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge. Explore Denali National Park, enjoy the included Natural History Tour and then experience a full-day scenic journey aboard Princess' glass-domed Direct-to-the-Wilderness® train to Whittier.

From Whittier, board Discovery Princess for a 7-night Voyage of the Glaciers. This itinerary gives you two extraordinary glacier experiences — Hubbard Glacier and Glacier Bay National Park — along with visits to Icy Strait Point, Juneau and Ketchikan.

With Alaska's mountains, wildlife, wilderness, glaciers and charming port towns all included in one journey, this is a terrific combination of both the interior and coastal Alaska experience — at a time of year that offers beautiful scenery, fewer peak-season crowds and excellent overall value.

All Pricing Subject to change and availability and based on double. Ask for latest rates.
