By sea and then by land, Alaska offers a wonderfully unique experience that exhilarates you with each and every glance. You’ll experience the true “northern exposure” as we journey from Seward to Anchorage, Alaska’s most spirited cosmopolitan city. Travel to Denali National Park, home to Mt. McKinley, the highest mountain in North America. This six million acre national park is home to the greatest collection of moose, grizzly bears, caribou, Dahl sheep, wolves, eagles, and other incredible wildlife. We then hop aboard the famous Alaska Railroad, a comfortable, full-service domed railcar for our breathtaking journey to Fairbanks.
