So here is what we decided on.....
The Connoisseur Tour 5/23/15 - 6/6/15
Fly from Boston to Fairbanks (with Alaska air miles only cost $5.60)
3 nights at the Princess Fairbanks Lodge
then travel to Denali
2 nights at the Denali Princess Lodge
then travel to McKinley
2 nights at the McKinley Princess Lodge
then travel by train 5 1/2 hours to the Grand Princess
stops in Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan
fly home from Vancouver to Hartford
We decided on Connoisseur tour after reading several reviews on cruisecritic.com and the fact that most meals and some activities on land are included. This layout really worked for us and we felt we would have ample time at each location to see the sights.
For excursions we chose the following:
Tails of the Trail with Mary Shields in Fairbanks
Riverboat Discovery Tour
Gold Dredge #8
Tundra Wilderness Tour
McKinley flightseeing tour
Horseback Riding
Krochel Animal Refuge Kingdom
Helicopter/Dogsled tour
Whale Watch tour
Float plane to Crab Feast
We will be very busy and most likely need a vacation after this vacation.....
One of the reasons we decided to do the land portion first is because it is very travel intensive....up early and busy every day.
