Alaska Getaways 2008

Denali National Park and Preserve your Alaska experience wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the heart and soul of Alaska: Denali national park and preserve. Denali is not only home to Mt. McKinley (whose 20,320-foot peak is the tallest in north America), but encompasses a 6-million-acre subarctic ecosystem of extraordinary beauty and astonishing wildlife. Grizzly bears, caribou, moose and Dall’s sheep are just a few of the abundant species of wildlife that make Denali their home. Cruise West makes travel into Alaska’s interior easy. Choose a fully guided land tour between Anchorage, Denali and Fairbanks (escorted by a Cruise West exploration Leader) or a stay at a rustic Wilderness Lodge deep in the heart of Denali. each tour includes either Cruise West or lodge-affiliated guides who will accompany guests at all transfers, ensure comfortable travel by rail or motorcoach, and assist with optional activities such as flightseeing, river rafting, hiking and park tours. From door-to-door baggage handling to our no-tipping required policy, we’ve taken care of all the details from beginning to end, so transitions between your small ship and land tour are seamless. www.cruisewest.com Fully Guided Cruise West Land Tour Highlights your experience begins in Anchorage*, where you’ll be treated to a city orientation tour and a visit to the worldclass Anchorage Museum of History and Art. Choose from one of several of Anchorage’s best restaurants and enjoy dinner on us before spending the night at the sheraton Anchorage Hotel. Travel by motorcoach the next day to Talkeetna, where you’ll board a deluxe domed railcar for your journey along the most scenic portion of the Alaska railroad. upon your arrival in Denali, enjoy an exclusive Cruise West presentation by a Denali education Center naturalist before overnighting in a comfortable hotel just outside the park.
