Combine a seven-day cruise with a four- to ten-day land tour and see the best of Alaska. Alaska Cruise tours range from 10-17 nights and include your 7-night Alaska cruise. Most cruisetours feature an inclusive tour into Denali National Park, a 6.3 million acre park, home to Mt. McKinley and one of the largest wildlife habitats in the world. Alaska Cruise Tours accommodate every lifestyle, from mild to wild. Read more about it below.

Wale Watching - Glacier Bay National Park - Seeing huge whales in their native habitat counts as one of life's great experiences. Each summer 15-20 humpback whales regularly feed in park waters, concentrating in the lower part of the bay. They migrate here from their winter home in the warm waters off Hawaii and can often be seen along the shorelines of Southeast Alaska. Special regulations go into effect when large concentrations of whales are in the park. The regulations affect vessel speed limits and travel routes in certain areas.

to miss Alaska's

biggest attraction...

See Denali National Park, Mt. McKinley. Travel via scenic domed railcars; deluxe, restroom-equipped motorcoaches; Overnight at deluxe “rustic” lodges; great wildlife and scenery only on an Alaska cruisetour.

When you plan your Alaskan vacation, do you plan to encounter a striking landscape, a place so expansive that it shelters more than six hundred-fifty species of flowering plants and thirty-seven mammal species? Do you envision your Alaskan tour to include a dizzying six million acres filled with large caribou, moose, and grizzly bears, and offset with startlingly small flowers, miniaturized to suit Alaska's short growth season?

 

Of course we're talking about Denali National Park, the focal point of an Alaska Cruisetour.

See Denali National Park, Mt. McKinley and the wildlife of Alaska. 

Travel via scenic domed railcars; deluxe, restroom-equipped motor coaches; Overnight at deluxe “rustic” lodges; great wildlife and scenery only on an Alaska cruisetour can you experience all that Alaska has to offer. Denali National Park is located 240 miles north of Anchorage, and encompasses 6 million acres of forests, tundra, glaciers and mountains - that's larger than the entire state of Massachusetts. Yet only 90 miles of main road traverses the park, leaving the moose, caribou, sheep and bears free to roam a wide area of land untouched by man. Denali National Park has long been a place of refuge for those with the will to survive its rugged terrain. Indeed, only the strongest plants flourish in this world of sub-artic wilderness. Species of mosses, lichens, fungi, algae, and others spangle the slopes and valleys of Denali. Deep pools of frost collect just beneath the park's surfaces, and only the thinnest sheen of topsoil thaws enough each year to stimulate new life. But the fragile nature of the region leads to continuous rebirth. New rivers can spurt up in days and flowers bloom just in time to serve as supper for hungry wildlife.

 

Cruisetours to Denali each feature one of three exciting tours of the park:
The Discover Denali Experience is an intimate introduction to the sub Arctic and Denali National Park. A naturalistic presentation, followed by a film, will describe the natural and cultural history of the sub-arctic ecosystem in and around Denali National Park. You will also enjoy a short guided walk on the park's trails.
On the Denali Natural History Tour, you'll discover the beauty of taiga forests and explore miles of rolling tundra, searching for wildlife. And you won't miss a thing, because driver-guides will explain the region's natural history and geology.
The Tundra Wilderness Tour is an excellent way to spot the wildlife Alaska is famous for: such as moose, bear, wolves, caribou, and Dall sheep just to name a few. The tour focuses on scouting out the wildlife in the park, in addition to explaining the historical and geographical background of the area.

Question Of The Week

How can I see Mt. McKinley?

Mt. McKinley, at over 20,000 feet, is North America's largest mountain. Located in Denali National Park, between Anchorage and Fairbanks. National Park Service sightseeing in Denali National Park is featured on most Alaska Cruisetour itineraries. The breathtaking view you see in the brochure and picture postcards of Mt. McKinley is never guaranteed, as Mt. McKinley creates its own weather, so cloud cover may obscure your view. However, when the weather cooperates viewing North America’s highest peak is spectacular.
