Hi guys, you touched on meals during your land package, with your acommodation was brekky included or are all meals self funded. Did you travel on the scenic railway, if so were any meals provided. We are looking at a 12 day land /cruise package with Princess or Holland America. Cheers, safe travels.
Hi - Thanks for watching and for your question. We sailed with Celebrity Cruises but our land package didn’t include any meals at hotels once we had left the ship. I think both Princess and HA offer other options but we only found that out after we had travelled. We trusted out travel agent to get us the best deal but not sure they did in hindsight …hence the video. That said it was the trip of a lifetime and we had an awesome time that also included the Wilderness Express train. Again something to watch for is the part of the route you’ll travel with the section between Fairbanks and Denali reputed to be the best. We did Denali to Fairbanks and it was still pretty cool. There was a restaurant in the rail car again at extra cost. The 12 day package we are sure will be amazing and wish we were going back sometime… So much to see and do. Safe travels guys !
Thanks for vid Cooks! Quick question, is the bus/coach mandatory? Is there a place you can rent your own car? The bus/coach leg of this trip is a deal breaker for me.
Thanks for watching and for the question. If you book a combined cruise and land tour with the cruise line then the bus will likely be the more of transport … But I agree if we had time again I would hire a car and do the interior under our own steam .. it’s a wonderful place .. spend as much time there as you can..
Looks like a good choic to make with so much extra to explore
Would do it again in a heartbeat
