WHERE TO STAY IN ALASKA
Accommodations in Alaska vary greatly. All of the major towns and destinations feature accommodations comparable to those found in major cities in the lower 48 states. A variety of national hotel chains and Alaska hotel chains are available throughout Alaska. Comfortable rooms can be found along the highways and in the smaller towns along the way. Bed and breakfasts are available in most communities and present an excellent alternative in smaller locales.


Alaska's visitor season is fairly short so advanced reservations are crucial. The better Alaskan hotels and lodges in places like Denali National Park are often sold out six months in advance. Some of the less traveled locations may offer better availability, but you should still reserve as far in advance as possible. Availability is extremely limited in peak season throughout Alaska.


When you travel throughout Alaska, you want to stay in great places near the best destinations. That is the criteria Princess used in building its lodges. Each lodge is custom built to reflect the unique regional flavor of Alaska's best destinations. The uniqueness of the accommodations is as important to your overall experience as the places you chose to visit.


Nestled on a bluff overlooking the mighty Copper River, our newest lodge takes full advantage of the view. A two story wall of windows frames the 12,010 Mt. Drum and the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.

Princess
Wilderness Lodges

Strategically located near the top attractions across Alaska, these deluxe lodges offer the same premier level of accommodations and service you’d expect to receive from Princess Cruises — the very best in cruise travel.


 
WHAT TO DO IN ALASKA: Tours & More
With Princess Tours, you will not just see Alaska, you will experience it. Our wilderness lodges feature a wide array of opportunities to get out and explore each unique region. The enrichment goes further than optional tours - some lodges feature daily lectures from National Park Rangers featuring the geology, wildlife and native culture pertaining to the area.
Optional Tours and Excursions
Each of our riverside lodges features a tour desk where all varieties of excursion are available. Our Alaskan Outfitters - experts on optional excursions - can tailor your experience to be what you want it to be. You can walk on a glacier, fly around Mt. McKinley, ride horses in the backcountry or just go for a leisurely walk around the grounds of the lodge.
The level activity varies by excursion. Our most active options require a moderate level of activity such as walking for moderate distances over relatively a variety of levels of terrain. Activities such as canoeing, hiking, biking or kayaking are examples. Participant should by physically fit. We also offer a wide variety of excursions that require more moderate levels of activity. Each excursion is rated and indicates the level of mobility and fitness required to enjoy the tour. Princess also offers a number of optional tours for guests with limited mobility, including wheelchair users. Most tour operators require that wheelchairs are collapsible. Your outfitter can assist you in making a decision as to what type of trip is best suited for you.
Explore a National Park
Fully one-half of all United States' national park land is in Alaska. Considering that, you begin to understand the scope and diversity of this vast expanse. Stretching 13.2 million acres, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve is the largest National Park in America. The Copper River Princess Wilderness Lodge is only a few short miles from the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park visitor center and Princess provides free shuttles to the center.
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. The Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge is only one mile from the lone park entrance and tours into the park are arranged by our outfitters.
Kenai Fjords National Park lies on the jagged southern edge of the Kenai Peninsula south of the Kenai Princess Wilderness lodge. This ice-sculpted land known as "Alaska's playground" just begs to be explored - and there's a variety of ways to do it from our lodge. Each of these lodges features interpretive experiences provided by the NPS Park Rangers.
Enjoy the unique cuisine of Alaska
One of the best ways to experiences Alaska's unique lifestyle is through its cuisine. Princess Alaska lodges feature cuisine carefully chosen to reflect the distinct regional flare of Alaskan food. We call it our signature Alaskan Cuisine.
Salmon is king in Alaska and there is no shortage of it around Princess lodges. Each location features salmon prepared in unique ways - from smoked BBQ salmon bakes to poached salmon steaks smothered in fennel sauce. We also feature thick steaks of fresh-caught halibut and luscious Alaska king crab legs. You can top it off with one of the features northwest regional wine or a locally brewed Alaskan Ale. These are just a few ideas to help you plan your ultimate Alaskan vacation.

Notes From The Great Outdoors

"We just finished another incredible 14 day cruisetour itinerary for 2010. Now I'm getting ready to help a couple decide which one of 68 cruisetours we offer. I've already heard exciting chatter about our guests seeing more of Alaska and really getting off the beaten path. And believe me, between glacier trekking, biking through Denali National park, and a rail tour on the Wilderness Express, these folks are going to be impressed."

Bob Andrews, Explorations Coordinator
