Days 8-10 Alaska Cruise/Land Adventure With Holland America. Train from Anchorage to Denali 

Love this video! Thank you for sharing your trip.

Doing the 14 day Holland America trip in July. Really enjoyed your videos. I think they will help us with our vacation plans.

Fellow n Carolinian here from near Boone - just returned Wednesday fro our 10 day tour and wanted to let you know it went great. Worst 2 parts was the flights back and that was one long train ride. I did watch your videos before we left and give you a couple of our Highlights- we went in September because a greater chance to see the N lights which we saw from the lodge and Fairbanks! 2 we hit the park on a bright clear day too saw the mountain but more spectacular was the fall color the ground was covered with red and the huge amount of birch trees were bright yellow and the green pines! 3 on our day in Skagway we rented a car and drove about 100 miles into the Yukon on a sunny day and the multiple lakes we saw were crystal blue- if I knew how to post a couple of pics on here I would and looks like we are the same age and stepped back from work the same time! I enjoy your videos! And going to try to put a couple my pics on here

Thank you for sharing your Alaskan adventure. The information from your video is very informative and your video was well done. If possible, can you provide the month and year for your visit?

It looks like you were in the ridge view suites part of the resort. Did you upgrade to that separate?

Great video! I am going on a Holland America Alaskan cruise next year in May/June. It takes me from Vancouver to Ketchikan/Juneau/Skagway/ Glacier Bay/College Fjord/Whittier/ Denali for a few days by train/ then bus to anchorage. What was that excursion called in Denali that you took. It looks beautiful and I want to book a similar one. I'm curious what it will look like in May/June as opposed to the time of year ya'll went.

Quick question. I'm considering one of these Holland America cruisetours for next summer. I know that all your food is included in your ticket price when you're on the ship, but how about the land portion? If you have to pay tourist prices for every meal while traveling inland, that could get really expensive really fast. Thanks.

I made plans but itinerary says Mckinley Explorer to Rail Depot Hotel. Wondering how this hotel is versus your chalet.

We're from Wilmington and headed to Alaska with Holland America in July, 2024. Did the bus in Denali stop often so passengers could take photos?

Was your food at the hotels included or a seperate charge like the train?

Hey! I really enjoyed watching the video-thanks a lot for the information provided. My girlfriend and I are planning to go on the same cruise tour this coming May. I have a question about the transportation on the last three days: it mentions a train to Denali National Park on the third to the last day, and bus to Fairbanks on the second to the last and the last day. Does accommodation included on the third to the last day night? Besides, for the second to the last and the last day, do they offer multiple buses at different times throughout the day, or is there a specific boarding time, with the next available option not until the following day? Also, did you discover any must-visit places or activities in Fairbanks? And around how many days did you stay there? Thank you very much!

Was the land tour in May? I see a lot of snow on the ground. Did you pay for the land tour separately from the cruise?

Im interested in doing this cruise to denali. I dont quite understand why it starts and ends at different cities. Do you have to fly in and out of different cities as well?

thank you for the video! We are scheduled for July, 2024 on the Noordam and I am wondering if we need to book a hotel room in Fairbanks or does the cruise line do that for us? I called Holland but talked to someone with a very thick accent and couldn't understand 100%. Also, do we book our airplane ride back home, out of Fairbanks? Thank you in advance!!

Just came back f rom same trip and it was the worst trip in our 30 years of cruising /traveling. If you fall for the hype, god bless you.

Hello.. just wanted to know when you arrive in Anchorage what time was it.. if you remember and anything specific to do that day?? We are thinking to go on an excursion on our own and hence was asking the same..

What was the typical tipping protocol on the train? Trying to determine how much cash to have on hand? Thanks!

So the train trip is included with the Holland America cruise but the food isn't?

Very curious how much it cost for food during your land portion?

What time of year did you go??

Did you have a coffee maker in your room?

What date is this?
