candlelady Posted May 23, 2006 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2006 We're taking a cruisetour next May with RCCL and right now it just says 2 nights in Denali. Does that mean we're staying in the park or what? Will there be plenty for us to do? We're doing the Wilderness Tour. The night before we're in Talkeetna and after the 2 nights in Denali we go by motorcoach to Fairbanks and spend the evening there before flying out. Another question......how long of a trip will it be from Denali to Fairbanks? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted May 23, 2006 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2006 You WANT 2 nights at Denali park, you stay outside in a nice hotel/lodge. There will be plenty to keep you occupied. It is a 2 hour bus trip Denali Park to Fairbanks. If you are on the train from Talkeetna, you do not get to Denali Park until 4pm, so really not a lot of time. If you are busing from Talkeetna, it's 3 1/2 hours bus ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drefinnej15 Posted May 23, 2006 #3 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Denali is absolutely amazing! You should not hesitate to stay there for 2 days...We found that the bus tour of Denali Nat'l Park was amazing plus we did a Glacier Landing tour and some other stuff! It's so beautiful!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCI uses the words "guided experience" for what must be the Natural History Tour - which you don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlelady Posted May 24, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Yes Nancy, it is. I've read enough on this board that if it weren't I'd be calling to upgrade it! We don't go until next May but I'm learning so much here that I hope we'll make all the right choices.....but I'm sure we'll have a GREAT time since it will be our first time to Alaska and our first cruise too, I might add!
