cruzfiend Posted November 7, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Does anyone have a review of NCL Land and Sea? wondering what you liked and didn't. Where do they have you stay in Fairbanks and Denali? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheryldawn Posted November 8, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I did the land and sea tour this past June. The 2 things that I didn't like was the fast pace of the land tour and the Anchorage tour stop. I would recommend the land tour before the cruise so you can rest and relax after the land tour. Anchorage is an overnight stay in the middle of downtown with a 10 to 15 minute walk to a restaurant. Downtown Anchorage is very sketchy. I didn't go to any restaurants because I didn't feel safe. I loved visiting Homer and Denali. As for lodging, NCL uses Bear Lodge in Fairbanks and Denali Park Village. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted November 9, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 9, 2022 NCL uses Alaska Premier Tours to host their land portion. You can probably call Alaska Premier Tours to get some more info if you have specific questions like names of lodges used etc. I agree with what someone else said to do the land portion first; it gets the longest flight and most go go go portion of the trip done first, and then you can relax on the ship.

bonvoyagie Posted November 11, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Anybody doing or have done the Authentic Alaska SB cruisetour? We are going late June 23. I just noticed that our date has disappeared from the NCL website. Does this mean the tour is sold out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Anchorage, and I don’t walk around downtown Anchorage alone probably for the same reason you were talking about, the homeless people. Just like other cities around America, it’s a huge issue. We are ashamed the tourists Experience this and wish the government would clean up downtown. Aside from the homeless, it’s a beautiful downtown with great gift shops and wonderful restaurants. A lot of tours launch from downtown, too. In the summer, tourists really don’t have a problem as there are so many tourists milling around, and I have honestly never read about tourists having ever been attacked or had a crime committed against them.
