Gray Line of Alaska is launching its Alaska season with two new self-drive tours and two-day Denali Summer Special packages.
"Our tour season, including daytrips in many destinations, runs through Sept. 22, and we have availability on most packages," said Mark Mumm, Gray Line of Alaska's director of sales and marketing.
"We also specialize in creating custom packages for both individuals and groups. Because we have the knowledge and infrastructure -- day boats, trains and motorcoaches -- readily available, we can create an ideal travel itinerary or customize an existing tour on relatively short notice," Mumm said.
Gray Line of Alaska is making Denali National Park more accessible for visitors with its Denali Summer Special.
The two-day packages are offered through Sept. 19 and include roundtrip luxury rail travel to Denali and one night at a park entrance hotel. Prices start at $289 per person, double, from Anchorage, or $199 per person, double, from Fairbanks. Train travel is aboard McKinley Explorer domed railcars.
For independent travelers, Gray Line of Alaska added two preplanned, self-drive tours to its Alaska by Car program this year. Both include a car rental, itinerary, hotel reservations and select tours.
Homer by Car is a seven-day tour roundtrip from Anchorage with stops in Seward, Alyeska and Homer. It includes Portage Glacier, Kenai Fjords and Gulf Island Kachemak Bay cruises, an Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center tour and Alyeska tram ride with lunch on a mountaintop.
Valdez by Car is a nine-day, roundtrip tour from Anchorage with stops in Valdez, Glennallen, Fairbanks and Denali. Travelers take a Columbia Glacier cruise, ride the McKinley Explorer train to Denali National Park and take a Denali Natural History tour.
