went on a cruise and loved it... would go back in a heartbeat.....only thing I woud do differently is to do the land portion first then the cruise. I would fly into Fairbanks early (one or two days) and have more time to stroll around town....then join into the group for the tour. In this lifetime I would preferr never to fly out of the airport in Fairbanks again.
If I ever have a Motor Home, Alaska would be part of my very first trip
