2019 we did the Sea & Land Cruise. Vancouver to Whittier Ak and then took the train to Mt McKinley Lodge 2 nights and then 1 night at Princess Wilderness Lodge and then 1 night at Captain Hooks in Anchorage. (Princess handles your luggage from place to place) (Hotel is really nice and a great place to stay). We did so many excursions from the ship and every one was great. No bad excursions. Then on land we Zip Lined over water falls and rapids, we road 4 wheel drive side x sides on a guided tour w/meal around country side and ran through the running creek, the excursion into Denali National was a highlight of the trip with all of the big 5 except a bear. ( we saw a Black Bear from the train on our ride to Mt McKinley Lodge). We had the best vacation we ever have had. We did the Land portion of our trip 2nd because after it was over, we stayed another week on our own exploring and fishing Alaska. The couple that went with us played 9 holes of golf at 11:00pm at night. How crazy is that. There’s something for everyone in Alaska.
@Jack Frost Wow! Thank you for telling me all of this. It sounds like a wonderful adventure. You are very brave to zip line and I bet it was glorious!
We are going this week. Do the Lodges have hairdryers?
@@macwess6098 we don’t remember if hairdryers were there or not. Just call the lodges or look on their websites to see if it’s listed. Have a great vacation
We did a land add on tour with HAL back in 2010. It started in Fairbanks and ended in Anchorage travelling mostly on a HAL train. It was one of the most memorable trips that we have ever done. A highlight was a small plane flight from Fairbanks up to Yukon inside the arctic circle. It was offered as a HAL excursion and was amazing.
Thank you for this information. My husband and I are just getting back into cruising and like to get the most in we can in our budget on our cruise. You have tips that we have never thought of. Going to Alaska and probably can not afford to go again. Your information really helps us out, thanks. Love reading all the comments as well. Happy cruising 🛳
Absolutely wonderful information! We plan to do a land and sea tour next year. Thanks again 🤗👏👏
Thank you, this was super helpful! I'm helping my parents plan their dream Alaskan vacation and you answered many of my questions :)
Thank you for your overview. My husband and I are taking our first cruise tour this August celebrating our 50th, looking forward to our 12 days of exploring this beautiful state!
We went on our first cruise on Carnival to Alaska. We would love to do it again with a land package with Princess! However our bucket list is soooooo long, I have no idea when we get back, and we are also itinerary people too, 8 days until our 15 day Panama Canal Cruise! We can’t wait.
Great overview of the Denali experience, I would love to do it one day. Thank you Allison!
@D Adams Thank you Dianne. I hope all is well with you. Thank you for always being here.
Thank you Allison this was great information! I know we will enjoy our trip thanks to you!
On Grand Princess leaving June 8 for bucket list trip with my elderly mother and two adult daughters. So excited.
Greetings. We have a Princess "off the Beaten Path" package booked for June 2023. So excited to see Alaska, both inland and via the Princess Sapphire. My wife has a question: Do the inland princess resorts (Mt. McKinley, Denali, and Copper River) have hair dryers in the rooms. We know the ship does. Thanks for your input.
We are doing the land/tour/cruise in June. Thank you so much for this info. I look forward to your future videos on this topic.
We are going on a Cruise tour in August. We will be on the Royal Princess. We flying to Anchorage first then go by train to McKinley then on to Denali and then a bus back to the Ship. We are so excited and can't wait.
We will be going in September and wondered how your trip was.
We are doing a cruise tour this summer that starts in Fairbanks. I studied all of these cruise tours very carefully. Some tours are more expensive and that means that excursions and food is part of this tour. We are doing one that is called “on your own.” This means that the hotels and transportation between the Lodges is included but nothing extra like excursions or food. Like Allison says food packages can then be bought separately but we wanted the freedom to choose are own excursions as well as where we eat. My 80 year old mother is going with us and she does not eat much and is not up for all day excursions. Just do your research, ask questions and really study the itineraries.
I've been reading about issues with itinerary changes and last minute excursion cancellations on Princess. How was your experience?
on the 10 day Denali Explorer Cruise Tour, Is the Denali Natural History tour price included? And you can one upgrade to the Tundra Tour?
Hi Allison. We are going on Majestic Princess on the JB5 12 day tour in August. We really enjoyed this video and the info. Thanks
My mother in law and I will be on the grand Princess then Denali and McKinley
I was on the Majestic recently and you will love the adult only Hollywood Pool area. It has a seating area with floor to ceiling windows and will be excellent for your Alaksa viewing. Enjoy.
Thank you- My two cents- I think that there might be an advantage to picking the land tour packages with Princess that have more days on land at each lodge than the ones that you mentioned. The reason that I feel this way is because then you have more time to enjoy at the lodge and do activities at each lodge instead of just spending most of your time on the land portion just getting from one lodge to the other lodge or to the ship. I did a land package that included two days each at three of the lodges which was neat because I had at least one full day at each lodge to totally enjoy and do activities and that did not involve traveling. I also would recommend looking at what type of activities are offered at each lodge in deciding what lodges you want in your package because they vary and are different at each lodge. I did not buy a meal plan on land because it would have been a waste for me as far as what I was involved with in activities at the lodges and the timing of the meals.
We are taking our very first cruise and are doing the cruistour with doing the cruise first in May, does anyone have any tips for first time cruisers?
Very informative! Thanks for sharing 😊
We are thinking about doing an Alaska land / cruise tour next summer (2023). Some friends did the Holland America land cruise tour in 2019 and loved it. I will start doing research but we are torn between Princess and Holland America. We have found the food on Holland America to be superb and we love the classical music on Holland America as well. But I’ve heard the Princess lodges in Alaska are amazing and are geared towards the “nature” experience while my friends said the Holland America lodges were more “city like” , that’s the term they used. Given that these land cruise tours cost thousands we want to make sure that we are comfortable with our decision.
Thanks again for info....which hotel spend the night before cruise and leave car for cruise duration?
Thank you for the information
The Tundra Wilderness Tour is considered superior (and longer) to the Natural History Tour but this year road construction has shortened it considerably.
Thank you for telling people to give you a 👍 and subscribe.
We are doing the land tour then cruise may 29 - June 8. Do we test before the land tour portion or before the actual cruise.
I did the cruisetour from Fairbanks to Anchorage. Awesome!! It was several years ago but any questions you can ask me.
Hi :) My husband and I are booked for alaska on the discovery may 7th, is it too late to ad a land package thru princess and change the air
Hi Alison! I’m going on the regal princess on May 7th from Rome… do you know if the live shows and voice of the ocean are back on board? I see in the covid protocols and faq on the website that all shows are supposed to be back but I don’t see them in my app as available.
Thank you for this. I'm doing a 10 day Denali Explorer starting May 15. I've done a Seattle round trip twice, but this is my first land tour and I'm really looking forward to it!
I'm looking into that tour. Which one did you take and you enjoy?
@@peterlinder8374 I was booked on the 10 day Denali Explorer AB3; however, I was a victim of pretty much everything that could go wrong. My flight to DFW was late because of crew shortage, and I missed the flight to Anchorage (last one of the day). I got to Anchorage the next day, but Princess staff shortage kept me from catching up with my land portion. I spent a couple of days in Anchorage, which I enjoyed, but I still haven't been to Denali! Sorry I can't be of more help.
@@marys.5142 So sorry to hear about your delay. We'll certainly keep the timing in mind if we book. We've never been on a cruise before. Did that meet your expectations?
@@peterlinder8374 The cruise was great! That was my third Alaska cruise, and I have another one booked. Alaska will be wonderful for your first cruise; my first cruise was also to Alaska, and I'm now a fan of cruising. I like transatlantics because of the number of sea days, but for majestic beauty, Alaska wins. I hope you enjoy your cruise.
@@marys.5142 Thanks again
Can you just get a. Princess Lodge pkg without a cruise in college I took ferry and would like my hubby to expience that . We did just one lodge with a Princess cruise LOVED IT. want to do more lodges but like to try Frey again
We have a cruisetour in june, 3 nights at denali princesss lodge out of anchorage before cruise, we are going a day early so that on our own we can take the roundtrip bus out of anchorage to talkeetna for a day trip. I'm planning on doing laundry at denali princess, wondering about laundry price, if take credit cards or if I need change
I want to know about the land tour in London + UK 🤦♀️ I haven't been able to find anything on it 😔
My dream Alaska Cruise/ Train vacation was halted by Covid.☹
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Meal Package because food & everything in Alaska is EXPENSIVE.
With the Meal Package you can order whatever you want without having to be concerned about prices.
The vouchers are good for any restaurant venue on the premises & the train ride.
If you book the Connoisseur CruiseTour the meals are included for the lodges as well as the better Denali National Park tour. (Tundra tour)
@CruiseVille Travel Thank you very much for telling us all of this! I’m glad to have you with us!
@@LetsGoTravelTips No problem. I’m happy to help. 😊 In 2019 I took my Mom on her 1st Alaska CruiseTour (Land portion first) and we got the meal package because I know how my Mom is (always looking at prices even though I’m the one paying for it). This way she could try different dishes without being concerned about prices… And I’m glad we did get the Meal Package because it was $5 for (1) pancake. (Not a stack of pancakes, but one single pancake. 😮) $9 for a single muffin, $13 for a VERY SMALL Fruit Cup… You could tell the people who didn’t know anything about the Meal Package or for some reason didn’t get the meal package because they would buy (1) muffin or something & split it with their spouse or in Denali they would eat McDonalds or Subway… We didn’t go all the way to Alaska to eat McDonald’s or Subway (We don’t even eat that stuff at home) we wanted to try different dishes.
I also recommend doing the Land Portion first because there are tours & sightseeing adventures included in the land portion & you might get tuckered out. So doing the cruise last will give you an opportunity to recuperate before your flight home… That way you’ll be well rested for the flight home.
Do a YT search for “Princess Alaska Favorite Daughter”… It’s a mother & daughter review of their first cruise which was to Alaska & although it’s a long video, it is worth watching because they give good insight on their trip and what they would do differently.
Thank you very much for talking about the Land tour trip to Alaska my husband and my daughter and my grandson Are going in May and I was concerned about if you go on a three day Land cruise tour do you have to be tested before you get on the ship thank you I love your show
@Barbara Miles Yes, you have to be tested before you get on the ship but Princess has said they will have the test for you.
Thank you I am so glad to hear that it is a relief of my mind again thank you
I had wondered the same thing about testing before we board the ship after our land tour. I wondered if we were going to have to bring tests and use telehealth on our own.
Is the Tundra tour worth it? Riding for hours in a school bus without toilet doesn’t seem like the best way to see wild life. Has anyone been in it to give feedback or review?
ArriveCAN says pre-entry testing is no longer required for fully vaccinated. Will Princess change testing requirements?
@Donna Hi Donna, I have no idea if they will change the testing requirements to board the ship. I’ll keep you all posted!
On a cruise tour with land first. Does Princess provide for a required Covid test (within 48 hrs of cruise ) ?
@ron krueger Hi Ron, Yes!
One more question- when doing land first on a cruise tour does all you’re luggage stay with you through the land or is some sent directly to the ship( fromFairbanks) ?
@@ronkrueger6735 Hi Ron, Only some of your luggage will go with you to the lodge. You pack what you need for the land portion separately.
Can't wait for our early September cruisetour to Alaska! Loving all the info, thanks!
Why have youy not said anything about the abrupt end of the Caribbean Princess Panama Canal cruise?
@Jon Hoff Hi Jon, I did tell everyone that the 4 day cruise on the Caribbean Princess from San Francisco (which is where the Panama Canal cruise was scheduled to end and did end) to Vancouver was cancelled. It was sold as a separate cruise, not part of the Panama Canal cruise. Of course, some passengers were staying on for the 4 day portion and some passengers had planned to board for that 4 day cruise. I double-checked this fact by calling Princess.
@@LetsGoTravelTips When I booked the cruise it was sold as a 19 Day cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Vancouver via the Panama Canal. When it was cancelled in San Francisco the company said it as cancelled because of the vessel going iinto drydock, which was a lie. The cruise was cut short because of a Covid-19 breakout which was totally out of control. We were required to fly back to Vancouver after a 2 day stay in Oakland without any compensation for the 4 days lost aboard the Caribbean Princess.

The meal plan package is about $50 per meal per person.
Why is Princess only allowing rapid antigen 1 day prior to boarding and RC is 2 days prior? Doesn’t make sense if both stop in Canada.
Ncl in January was antigen was 2 day before from cvs
I will make this simple! “Real Alaska “, is not by a huge cruise ship! Simple!
