Today’s highlights are a visit to the Anchorage Museum and the Alaska Airlines flight to Cordova. Situated near the mouth of the Copper River – known for its prolific salmon runs – the only way to town is by plane or by boat. Fly into Cordova and settle into the lodge to discover one of Alaska’s best-kept secrets and gateway to Alaska’s wilderness.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
There is no better way to experience what makes Alaska special than a day of adventure. Choose one included activity: fishing – for halibut, cod, or salmon; glacier & wildlife helicopter tour; hike to Sheridan Glacier with glacier kayaking; sightseeing along the Copper River Delta with visits to two local museums. Enjoy a cozy bonfire before retiring for the evening.

Wilderness, wildlife, and glaciers sum up the day! Board a privately chartered sightseeing vessel and cruise Prince William Sound to the glacier-lined port of Valdez, and southern terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. Amidst the mountainous backdrop of the Chugach National Forest, watch for whales, sea lions, otters, harbor seals, puffins, and eagles while cruising about the Sound’s many islands and fjords.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Board a privately chartered sightseeing vessel this morning and journey through the majestic Columbia Bay on the way to Columbia Glacier, the largest glacier in Prince William Sound. Experience spectacular calving events and close encounters with wildlife. This pristine wilderness is home to a variety of whales, along with Dall’s porpoise, seals, Stellar sea lions and more! Keep the cameras handy and eyes peeled as your captain navigates through the Sound. Lunch will be hosted on board and dinner will be enjoyed at leisure this evening in Valdez.

En route to Denali National Park today, pass through Keystone Canyon to witness an impressive display of cascading waterfalls and steep slate walls. On what National Geographic referred to as one of the top ten scenic highways in the world, travel the Denali Highway – extremely beautiful and mostly unpaved, following the Alaska mountain range and Hayes Range towards Denali National Park. Be on the lookout for caribou, bear, moose, and wolves. Enjoy an evening of comfort at the gates of Denali National Park and Preserve.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
An early morning and wonderful day awaits visitors – take a sightseeing bus ride 42-miles deep into Denali National Park with lunch. During the drive, be on the lookout for moose, caribou, Dall sheep, wolves, grizzly bears, and of course Mount Denali. After returning to the gates of the park, relax this evening surrounded by nature.

Afterward, board the glass-domed cars of the Alaska Railroad for a luxury GoldStar experience with lunch on board. Listed on the register of National Historic Places, there is time in Talkeetna to explore its early pioneer roots before settling into the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge, situated on the south side of Denali National Park and Mount Denali.
