Review summary

Island Princess was fantastic - from the time they met us at Fairbanks Airport, their organization and scheduling was suberb with the luggage, transportation, hotels, embarkation & disembarkation was a breeze too. Staff were friendly and helpful. But please, please upgrade to softer toilet rolls!

Great Hotel and service. As part of the land tour, transport from Denali to Anchorage /Whittier presented fantastic views, including spawling salmon. Alaska Conservation Center was the only place we saw bears, there are other animals there too.

Took the White Pass Rail, but would recommend the bus and train combination, although it would have been longer. Excellent weather!
