Princess and Holland America are the entrenched market leaders in getting you into the Interior, either before or after your cruise. They own their own hotels, deluxe motorcoaches, and rail cars; and after many years in the business, they both really know what they're doing. Some of the other lines actually buy their land products from Princess or HAL.
Holland America's strengths are its 3 and 4 night cruises combined with an Alaska/Yukon land package. In addition, the company's exclusive entry into the Yukon's Kluane National Park last year proved extremely popular. Not only will it continue in the Kluane area this year, HAL has added yet another Yukon gem Tombstone Territorial Park, about 90 minutes drive up the Dempster Highway from Dawson City.
Tombstone is a region of staggering wilderness beauty, Native architecture, stunning vistas, and wildlife. Princess is arguably stronger in 7 day Gulf of Alaska cruises in conjunction with Denali/Fairbanks or Kenai Peninsula land arrangements. In 2002, Princess also introduced its fifth wilderness lodge the Copper River Lodge, by the entry to hitherto difficult to access Wrangell St. Elias National Park. Its addition gave Princess an attractive new cruisetour component, which has become more popular each year with the growing public awareness.
This year, getting to the company's wilderness lodges in Denali will be easier and faster than ever before with the inauguration of a "Direct to the Wilderness" rail link. Passengers will board trains right on the dock in Whittier and whisk through some of Alaska's most scenic areas to Denali.
