Experience All Alaska Has to OfferWith Princess you won't just see Alaska, you'll feel it, with unique, one of a kind experiences. Our lodges feature a wide array of opportunities to get out and explore. Each lodge has a tour desk where all varieties of excursion are available. Our Alaska trip planner experts can tailor your experience to be what you want it to be. You can walk on a glacier, fly around Mt. McKinley, ride horses in the backcountry or just go for a leisurely walk around the grounds of the lodge. The enrichment goes further than optional tours. Some lodges feature daily lectures from Rangers featuring the geology, wildlife and native culture pertaining to the area. Our lodges and railcars also feature Signature Alaskan Cuisine carefully chosen to reflect the distinct regional flare of Alaskan food. Our partnerships with local businesses and tour operators uniquely position us to offer an authentic Alaskan experience you'll never forget. ![]() Discover Alaska by RailWant the real Alaska travel experience? Delve a little deeper into the dense and gorgeous scenery. Alaska is a land of epic proportions. It covers more than 1,400 miles north to south and 2,400 miles east to west. To understand the depth and breadth of Alaska, you must travel to the interior, to a vast, unspoiled wilderness that confounds the imagination. Traveling the Alaska Railroad aboard luxury railcars is a carefree way to make every mile count. ![]() Alaskan SeasonsWhen planning your Alaska vacation, don't forget to always consider the weather. Alaska's climate is diverse and can range from sunny temperatures in the 80's to freezing temperatures at night. The best strategy is to bring clothes that are suited to layering. This will offer the greatest flexibility in adapting your clothing to the conditions of the day. ![]() Alaska is Glacier HeavenIn the final great period of the Ice Age, half of Alaska was buried in the ice. Today, about 10,000 years later, five percent remains locked in a frozen world. More than 100,000 glaciers in Alaska continue to shape the landscape in every way, carving mountains, depositing fertile silt in valleys, and crashing into the sea. Your Alaska travel isn't complete until you've witnessed their glittering majesty. ![]() Traditional CuisineOne of the best ways to experience Alaska travel is through your tastebuds. Princess Alaska lodges feature cuisine carefully chosen to reflect the distinct regional flare of Alaskan food. We call it our Signature Alaskan Cuisine. |
