That is exactly what I needed to know and will follow this plan. It makes a lot more sense. Thank you!

Does my plan make sense? Drive from Whittier cruise port to Seward and spend the night then do the Major Marine Tour in Seward then start driving to Denali National Park. Could I stop in Anchorage for lunch and trolley tour then drive to Talkeeta and spend the night or go ahead and drive all the way to Denai and spend the night there? In Denali, I will take the green bus shuttle and do some hikes before heading to Fairbanks.

Thank you - that was quite helpful. I typed in 2023 instead of 2024. Maybe more will be open by then.

We are taking the Princess Cruise so that we can go to Glacier Bay.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks - I did type that wrong.

I am planning an Alaska vacation for 8/31-9/14/23. The first leg of our trip will be aboard Sapphire Princess from Vancouver to Whittier. What are some must-do excursions or places to just check out the ports? After the cruise we are driving to Seward for the Major Marine Tour then to Talkeeta then Anchorage. Next to Denali for the Tundra Wilderness Tour then to Fairbanks for the Gold Dredge 8 & Riverboat cruise. Of course, cost is important. We are 60 and in good health - not ready for mountain climbing but are good for moderate hikes and adult adventures. We like nature and don't like to shop. Thanks!
