Ship to Train to Denali — All in One Day

Our exclusive ship-rail-lodge connection takes you straight to Denali National Park. While others are still in transit, you'll be enjoying more time at one of our two Denali area lodges where fabulous Princess service meets the real Alaskan wilderness.

Fewer Transfers, Less Time Waiting

Disembark while you're still in the glow of your Alaska cruise. Then step directly from your ship onto your waiting railcar. Sit back, read, chat, dine and marvel at the panoramic vistas from the domed observation lounge. Arrive at Denali that same day ready to experience the wonders you've traveled so far to see.

More Time at Denali

Wake up to the sights and sounds of Denali National Park. You'll bask in the pleasure of knowing you've reached your destination nearly a full day earlier than with any other cruisetour company. That means more time to sit by the fire, linger over grilled salmon and soak up the comfort and luxury of the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge and the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge.

A Princess Exclusive

Our new luxury rail service direct to Denali will make all the difference in your Alaska cruise vacation. It's one of the many reasons Princess Cruises is the leader in Alaska.
