Here's a neat way to earn a free Alaska cruise. Cruise tours for groups offer the best of both worlds, combining a seven-day cruise with a three- to eight-night stay on land. All you have to do is decide where you'd like to go. Here  is information about Alaska's favorite places. From it's historical towns and cities to its National parks, Alaska has something to offer everyone.

All you need is a few friends or family willing to travel together on the same sailing, and a reason to do it--say a family reunion, birthday, graduation celebration, club outing, or just for fun. Sometimes a group starts as just two couples and before they know it, they've invited enough people to eliminate their own cost of cruising.

Denali - Tundra Wilderness Tour

For visitors wanting to know about Denali National Park’s varied landscapes and wildlife, this 6-8 hour fully narrated tour takes visitors to the Toklat River at mile 54 of the Park Road. While we can't predict nor promise when and where wildlife may show up, this tour travels deep into the heart of the park and will allow you ample opportunity to look for Dall sheep, moose, caribou and the elusive grizzly bear. On days when Denali (Mt. McKinley) is visible, it may be possible to travel to Stony Hill Overlook at mile 62 where the mountain first becomes fully visible from base to summit - an impressive view. Exact departure times are not guaranteed and are based on availability. Note: Weather conditions and animal behavior affect wildlife viewing. The tours are operated inside the park by the National Park Service.

Spend a day and travel some 60 miles into the wilderness of Denali National Park and the heart of bear country. On this fully guided tour, you’ll get interpretation from your driver/guide, along with 6 to 8 hours of wildlife spotting and spectacular scenery. If the weather cooperates, you’ll see Mount McKinley up close.

During the early part of the trip, watch for moose: there are some huge bulls that hang out in the taiga forest between headquarters and Savage Campground. Look for caribou anywhere above treeline. But don't be surprised if wildlife is sparse in those early miles—it’s not unusual to see no animals on this section of road, depending on the time of day and season.

The tip of Mount McKinley first comes into view at Mile 9. You'll ride over high mountain passes and usually see Dall sheep on the mountainsides. If you're lucky, you'll spot bears too. It’s not uncommon to see wolves from Teklanika on.

A high point—literally and figuratively—is the drive over Polychrome Pass, which offers a grand view of the Plains of Murie, stretching to the Alaska Range on the horizon. The colors of the mountains seem to change depending on light and time of day. Just on the other side of Polychrome Pass is the Toklat River and Toklat Bridge. If clouds cover Mount McKinley, the tour turns around here. On a clear day, the tour continues. (Hint: morning tours have the best chance of moving on.)

Watch for bears ambling along the tundra or riverbeds and for Mount McKinley, which will be in and out of view the rest of the trip. The bus goes over Highway Pass and stops at Stony Hill Overlook at Mile 62. There, Mount McKinley looms only 36 miles away—a perfect photo opportunity. Then you’ll turn around and head for home.

PRINCESS RAIL SERVICE

  GETTING THERE IS HALF THE FUN
Princess luxury rail cars, Alaska's best rail experience, transport you in style. Following the Alaska Railroad route between Whittier and Fairbanks, the incredible vistas are complemented by tableside beverage service and natural history narratives from our car managers.
 

DIRECT TO THE WILDERNESS
Getting to the wilderness of Denali is now quicker and easier. A new exclusive service from Princess allows you to step off your cruise ship in Whittier, onto your Princess railcar and arrive at your wilderness lodge that same afternoon. Or, on southbound itineraries, leave the Denali area and enjoy a direct link to your awaiting cruise ship in Whittier. Fewer transfers and less time waiting makes for a more relaxing and hassle-free trip.
