- Pre & Post-Cruise Stays: Enhance your vacation with tailored hotel stays, scenic day trips, and local city tours before you embark or after you disembark.
Fairbanks International Airport (FAI):
- Used as the primary inbound airport for the longest, most comprehensive land itineraries (e.g., 14 or 15-day cruisetours). Guests fly into Fairbanks, tour south through Denali National Park and Anchorage, and then travel to Whittier to embark on their southbound voyage to Vancouver.
Anchorage Ted Stevens International Airport (ANC):
- Used for shorter land tours that focus primarily on Denali and Southcentral Alaska. Guests fly directly into Anchorage to begin their land legs before departing from Whittier.
For outbound flights after disembarking the ship in Vancouver, guests fly home out of Vancouver International Airport (YVR) or nearby Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).
