Alaska - the cruise of a lifetime! Just got back from a 10 day sea and land tour of Alaska (on Island Princess), and definite “hats off” to Cruise Planners Vacation Planning Group for putting together an unbelievable trip! They booked it all, and even arranged shipboard credit and gratuity payments, all of which really took a load of off this first time cruiser’s mind. Getting to the port on Vancouver via shuttle (also arranged by Cruise Planners) was a breeze, as was boarding the ship. The shore excursions where phenomenal - from a wilderness walk and bear watch in Icy Strait, to whale watching and a salmon bale in Juneau, to dog sledding in Skagway, so much for nature and wildlife lovers to enjoy! The land tour started with a picturesque train ride from Whittier to Denali, and the hours on the train seemed to fly by as we tookIn all the beauty of the scenery. We stayed at the lovely Denali Wilderness Lodge, and they had a nice selection of restaurants (and great food and drink)! The next day, we took a 5 hour wilderness tour, where natives served as tour guides. We saw a lot of wildlife, and the views of Denali itself were just breathtaking! We wrapped up the land tour with a fun riverboat cruise on Fairbanks, and even had plenty of time to explore the next day before heading to the airport. Thank you, Cruise Planners, for what was truly a trip of a lifetime!
