- Post-Trip: Cruise Alaska 2012
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 Alyeska Resort, high in the mountains above Anchorage, Alaska’s most spirited cosmopolitan city. Traveling 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.
Friday, July 6 – Seward – Anchorage
We begin in Seward where you will have the opportunity to experience the National Park Wildlife & Glacier Cruise. Keep an eye out for whales, puffin and soaring bald eagles as you take in the beauty that Alaska has to offer. On our way to Anchorage, we will stop at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, where you will see bears, an eagle, moose and many other animals up-close and personal, who were injured in the wild and come here to live. Tonight we’ll arrive in Anchorage and enjoy a Shabbat service followed by a group dinner. Overnight in Anchorage. (D)

This morning we will spend a few hours enjoying the largest city in Alaska – Anchorage. You may choose to go biking or hiking along the waterfront on the Tony Knowles Trail, visit a museum, enjoy one of the many outdoor cafes and the Weekend Market, or shop in one of many cute little stores that line the streets. En route to Denali, we make a stop in Wasilla, home to the original starting line of the world famous Iditarod Sled Dog Race. Here, the Iditarod Headquarters will give us a glimpse into the history, pageantry and challenges this annual race means to each and every Alaskan. You can even take a simulated dog sled ride with pups in training. We continue onto Denali National Park where we’ll have a Pizza Party at the best pizza place in Alaska! Dinner is included and drinks are on us! Overnight in Denali. (D)
