Hi,
My aunt and uncle are going to Alaska next summer, and asked if I wanted to go along. I have traveled with my aunt before, and we travel well together. We're going to do a cruise/land tour combination that sounds pretty good. She picked it out, but it sounds OK to me.
I'll likely add on a lot of the adventure-type excursions - sea kayaking, white water rafting, hiking/glacier climbing etc.
I know it's a long ways away (next July), but I'm excited. It's on Princess:
Explorer: Copper River - Tour 14N7-night Voyage of the Glaciers Cruise with 6-night Land Tour featuring 2-nights Copper River Princess Lodge, 2-nights Denali Princess Lodge, 1-night Mt. McKinley Princess Lodge and 1-night Anchorage.
Sail from Vancouver, B.C.Port
Disembark the ship and board a catamaran right at the cruise ship dock. Enjoy a scenic crossing of Prince William Sound to Valdez. Continue by motorcoach to the Copper River Princess Wilderness Lodge for a 2-night retreat.
Enjoy a full day of leisure. Choose from many optional excursion that let you explore America's largest National Park - Wrangell-St. Elias. Overnight in the wilderness.
Motorcoach to the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge along the scenic Denali Highway. Be on the lookout for wildlife. Overnight at the lodge.
Take a morning Tundra Wilderness Tour into Denali National Park. The rest of the afternoon is free to relax or explore.
Travel to Talkeetna by luxurious Princess railcars, then onto the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge by motorcoach. Enjoy your night at the lodge.
Enjoy the morning at your leisure, then sightsee by motorcoach to Anchorage for the night.
Your tour ends this morning in Anchorage.
I LOVE having a big trip to look forward to!
