For 7 days you'll be ensconced in natural beauty as you explore from Fairbanks to Anchorage with visits in Denali National Park, Talkeetna, Seward and Kenai Fjords. Glaciers calving, whales breaching, eagles soaring, snow-capped peaks and crisp clean air are among the highlights.

A trek through the unspoiled beauty of Denali Natural Park may result in thrilling sightings of moose, caribou and bears among other residents. On your Kenai Fjords cruise listen for the booming sounds of glaciers calving and watch the glassy surface for Orcas, seals, sea lions or humpback flukes.
