Review summary

A wonderful experience filled with fun times, laughter and majestic views. The crew were very friendly and accommodating throughout the voyage. The Captain on the Star Princess was the best, very interactive with those traveling either over the IMC or when he roamed the ship talking to passengers. A great experience and our group had a great time.

This is where we departed and took the train up to Denali which was awesome and the guide in our car was very friendly and knowledgeable. Made the 9 hour trip feel like about 4 hours. Food on the ride was really good.
