The glaciers of Alaska are the centerpiece of every Alaska cruise and ours is no different. There is nothing like encountering an active glacier for the very first time. From its cool-blue splendor to massive chunks of ice breaking off and cascading into the sea; the entire experience is absolutely astonishing.

As a glacier calves, snow that fell centuries ago makes its way into the sea with a thunderous roar. Even in summer, you will want to dress warmly so that you can spend the maximum amount of time on deck to watch for the next calving.

Denali National Park & Preserve hosts an ecological community that is as extensive and diverse as anywhere! Consisting of large areas  of intact nature, vast plant communities, 39 species of mammals, 169 species of birds and even one amphibian, this subartic wilderness has a lot of offer!

With two full-service restaurants, bar with a view, grab n’ go espresso bar and a rip-roaring dinner theater experience, the McKinley Chalet Resort has everything to satisfy your appetite on your tour of Denali. The Denali Square complex includes outdoor fire pits, Karstens Public House, and views of the nearby mountains.
