As a personal cruise guide, I have had the fortune to sail on a number of cruises, to some of the world’s most exciting and beautiful destinations.
My most memorable cruise vacation was my cruise tour to Alaska with Princess Cruises. I fell head over heels in love with Alaska, if I could live there each summer (maybe not the winter months:) ), I would! Alaska’s majesty and beauty is like nothing I have ever seen.
It was on the land portion of this wonderful vacation that I would have to say I also experienced my most memorable excursion; Denali National Park Tour through Princess Cruises.
Upon entering Denali National Park, 
your car is only allowed so far before you must board a bus for the rest of your Park tour. This is to cut down on pollution, so I was happy to join the group and continue on. The bus driver is also, conveniently, your tour guide. These drivers are filled with so much knowledge of the park, and Alaska in general, it is truly an educational, enriching bus ride!
My favorite part of exploring the park were the animal sightings.
I witnessed first-hand two moose fighting, right next to the road we were on! (I don’t think many people can say they have seen that up close and personal, do you?)
It was like a postcard, the grizzly bears were frolicking in the rivers and bald eagles were soaring overhead. Around every bend there were spectacular mountain views and wildlife to awe and inspire you.
Not only were the views amazing and the wildlife abundant, but the first thing I personally noticed was the clean fresh air. I spent most of my time outside, even while dining on our tour. Everything seemed so pure, and I must say it was absolutely a life changing experience. That may sound a bit cliche, however, the natural beauty was something I will never forget.
With Princess Cruises, there are many land excursions offered within Denali National Park, so you can customize your time to fit your needs.
Choose from:
- Nature Hikes & Scenic Tours
- Helicopter & Flightseeing Tours
- Rafting, Fishing & Boating
- Four-Wheel-Drive Tours
- Alaskan Culture & Heritage
So if you are planning a cruise to Alaska, you must consider adding a 3-5 day land tour to your vacation before or after your cruise. The value is unbelievable, and the opportunity to see Alaska from both sea and land is sure to be a vacation you will never forget!
