The itinerary was well planned and the included excursions to Denali Park and Kenai Fiord were very enjoyable. As a result of ferry timetables we spent only one night in Skagway with one in Haines.

Fantastic time in Alaska. I went on the 6 day Northern Lights Adventure. All of the arrangements were perfect from the transportation to the hotels to the excursions. The snow train gave us a beautiful relaxing start. The hot springs at Chena Lodge were so soothing and healing. Snow flakes fell on us every where we went, yet it did not even feel cold. But the highlight of our trip was the Auroras. We saw them every night!! They were
