Pre-cruise question with NCL

[eppler]

We have booked our cruisetour through NCL for next summer. We start in Anchorage, take the glass-topped train over the Denali on the second day and then we take the bus tour of Denali on the third day.

 

My question is - Is there anything to do once we get to the hotel/cabin on the second day or after the Denali tour on the third day?

You DO have the Tundra Wilderness tour? This is 8 hours. The visitor center is worth a look. Activities http://www.nps.gov/dena The Dog sled demo is of interest to some, riding the Savage River shuttle bus/ranger activities.

 

It's up to you, how you want to occupy your time, if available, and you want to see wildlife, take the SHUTTLE bus on an additional trip into Denali.

To expand somewhat on Budget Queen's response, there are interesting displays at Wilderness Access Center and Murie Science facility in Denali, in addition to flightseeing and rafting on the Nenana River offered by private vendors outside of the park. I have no idea what hotel NCL uses, but some of the hotels also offer films on the aurora and so forth for their guests.
