Board a comfortable motorcoach for a scenic ride that takes you straight from the ship to the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge. Sit and gaze at the majesty of "The Great One" from the lodge's treehouse designed and built by Pete Nelson of Animal Planet's Treehouse Masters. Hear stories about climbing North America?s tallest peak in the Hudson Theater or roast a marshmallow at the fireside patio.

Sightsee by motorcoach to Talkeetna then enjoy Princess Rail service to the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge, located a short shuttle ride away from spectacular Denali National Park. Get settled, and perhaps do an optional excursion. Or you may enjoy the spectacular main lodge, river view deck, and Princess Village with the popular Christmas cottage and sugar shack. Be sure to check out Fannie Q's Saloon, named after a famed local homesteader.

Check in with the Guest Service Desk for help in planning your own Denali adventure like a sled dog tour, river rafting, hiking, glacier flightseeing or an off-road ATV adventure. Later today, you may want to simply relax with a glass of wine on the deck overlooking the Nenana River. Visit the Grizzly Burger or grab a slice at Lynx Creek Pizza.

This afternoon travel by scenic motorcoach to Fairbanks, Alaska's "Golden Heart City".

Your cruisetour ends this morning in Fairbanks.
