After your journey to Fairbanks the day prior, wake up and join your fellow travelers on an exciting gold panning adventure. You are sure to find some gold flakes! Enjoy free time in the afternoon and relax with a delicious dinner in downtown Fairbanks or journey to the Alaska Salmon Bake for a grilled delight.

After a hearty breakfast, load up on the motorcoach to explore the Chena River on the Riverboat Discovery. Set sail on a paddlewheel riverboat and see a sled dog demonstration and native Alaska village. Try some delicious salmon on board with all the hot coffee you would like. After the boat ride, indulge in a delicious buffet lunch before heading south to Denali. Relax on the motorcoach for about 3 hours looking at the changing landscape. Arrive in Denali and have some free time to explore your resort and nearby shopping center.

Early mornings might be tough, but they're worth it when you're in the wild beauty of Alaska! The highlight of our day? It could be a jaw-dropping encounter with not one, but TWO majestic bull moose right on the road ahead of your bus! The wildlife extravaganza continues with possible sightings of bear, dall sheep, caribou, a prickly porcupine, and a vibrant array of birds. You may even strike gold with a crystal-clear view of Denali. The afternoon is yours to explore with options of hiking through nature's gallery, a thrilling river rafting session, or enjoy the magic of a musical dinner theater show. And let's not forget those who wisely embrace a much-needed power nap!

Today is all about relaxation on the train. Learn from your train hosts about wildlife, geology, and local culture. See hurricane gulch and the Dr. Seuss house. Hot breakfast and lunch is available on the train as you look out the huge dome windows with sweeping views.

Enjoy some free time in Anchorage this morning before taking a train or bus to your ship. Some cruise lines leave out of Whittier while others leave out of Seward.
