The big day may have come and gone, but keep in touch as we’re always up to something new and exciting.
o3 Travel®, an Alaskan local is teaming up with Princess Cruises® to create the best experience imaginable.
For all guests booking onto this trip, there are webinars (beginning fall 2022) for each destination with all the details, insider tips, and experiences available.
Arrival Day. Fly into FAI (Fairbanks International) and a Princess® transfer is provided to our hotel. While there are no luxury hotels in Alaska, we are picking the best. The tundra is our oyster, and exploration is just an Uber ride away! Meals today are on your own.
Wake up in the American city closest to the arctic circle. Find breakfast close to the hotel before embarking on a gold rush adventure! Gold panning and experience the Riverboat Discovery! After the fun, enjoy a little more time to explore; and then we bus to Denali!
