Welcome to Fairbanks. Whether you're exploring Alaska's Golden Heart

unforgettable journey in the days ahead. Please note the standard hotel

DAY 2: WEDNESDAY - FAIRBANKS/DENALI
Your NCL
Tour Director will greet you at the hotel
this morning for a group orientation meeting. After the orientation,
enjoy a morning ride on the Riverboat Discovery, a three-hour journey
that will take you into the heart of Alaska. Operated by a family who
has made the Alaskan rivers home for five generations, you'll witness
a Bush pilot take off and land beside the boat, and hear stories of flying
into remote Alaska firsthand. Halfway through the experience, you'll
be immersed in frontier living with a guided walking tour of a recreated
Athabascan Indian village. See cabins made of spruce logs, along with
other indigenous dwellings that have allowed the strong Athabascan
people to survive for thousands of years in this harsh environment.
After a brief city tour of Fairbanks, travel by deluxe motorcoach to
