  Our director Merrin was outstanding! Only shortcomings was the crowded bus & train experiences with not enough stops for taking photos (that’s my passionate hobby).Hotel in Talkeetna was wonderful the others just okay.

  Loved the land part of the trip. Denali park, the River boat, the train trip. I did not like the ship part. I liked getting off the ship and seeing the towns. I have motion sickness and the 1st and last days were not good.. I am just not a ship person. Will never do another cruise. Our room was great and our Steward Sonny and team were great.

  Talkeetna Lodge was great with an incredible view of the Alaska Mountain Range. Getting there was a fantastic trip from Denali on the train. We saw such beautiful scenery while riding in a glass dome train car.

  The first half was great, after the third day on the ship I began getting sicker everyday I have never been so sick in my life and by the time I got home I had Covid! Not an ideal vacation!

  The trip was well planned out and we saw lots of Alaska. We chose Collette as they do an excellent job of trip planning and including amazing experiences. Plus our use truly guided us thru Alaska, giving us a bounty of information on history, geology, geography, wildlife and more.

  Having a cruise was ideal to Alaska It was alittle too long, 12 days. I'm glad I went, met new people. Weather was great

• Trip Rating:

  

  No value for the added cost. This tour package is no different than others. Air package was poor. Cruise package was mediocre.

  This was our first land/sea vacation but our 2nd trip using Collette. It exceeded our expectations. Alaska was beautiful at times breath taking. Some of the ground portions of the trip hotels were better than others. The Holland America cruise was awesome, the staff very friendly and helpful. Accomodations were to our liking.

  This was my second Collette trip. It was awesome, Alaska is beautiful. I enjoyed the tours and for the most part accommodations were satisfactory although having to wait nearly 8+ hours for our room in Fairbanks was unacceptable and uncomfortabe.

  Collette changed air travel to coach travel after trip was paid for, 80 year old seniors were on this trip. This coach travel returned seniors home at 5:00 am. Karen Barkley from Collette refused to retuen any calls after the trip . Collette should be ashamed. Never Trust Collette!!!!!

  advertised air from shreveport, after paid up in full, you changed to bus(13.5 hours ride)

• Trip Rating:

  

  It was a good trip but didn’t like bus trips to Dallas, bus trip from Vancouver to Seattle, and bus trip from Dallas to Shreveport. I will not take another trip with this much bud travel.

  Dana Fletcher

  The coach trip from Vancouver to Seattle seemed to be unnecessary. Why didn’t we fly Vancouver to Dallas? The drive was too long due to traffic and the coach was uncomfortable.

  Collette lied and changed airtravel to coach travel after we payed for the trip. Karen Barkley refuses to return phone calls after trip is over.

  Did not care for the 7 hour wait at airport. We could see the departing Alaskan Airlines flights and saw numerous flights earlier to Settle. There were also flights to Chicago that I’m I sure there would be flights available to Detroit. I also did not care for the different information were getting from Tour Director. We had infor for cruise company that we had a 2 :00 time to board ship. Then the cruise Director told us 5:00. I feel we were lost time on ship. Overall the Tour Director did a good job. He was always available if we needed him.Did not care for hotel in Denali . I didn’t like that you had to a shuttle to get to main building to eat or leave for tours. The building we were in didn’t have a refrigerator in our room and I had Meds to keep cold. Our view was an overgrown field not mountains.I didn’t like get our cruise information 2 weeks before the cruise. I did enjoy the sites in Denali. The hotel in Talkeetna was gorgeous and they had places you could sit and enjoy the mountains indoor and outdoors enjoyed that.

  I DID NOT LIKE THE 3 DAYS BEFORE I GOT ON SHIP. EACH NIGHT A DIFFERENT HOTEL. HAD TO HAVE LUGGAGE OUTSIDE DOOR AT 6:30AM EACH HOTEL. THEN HAD BREAKFAST DOWNSTAIRS IN DINING ROOM BUT 1 MORNING HAD A TABLE AND THEY WERE TOO BUSY, HAD NO BREAKFAST, NOT EVEN A CUP OF COFFEE. HAD TO GET ON BUS AT 8:30AM THIS *****. ENTERTAINMENT ON SHIP WASN'T THAT GOOD AT ALL. LOUSY .....ROYAL CARRIBEAN ENTERTAINMENT WAS TOPS.

  ONE OF THE HOTEL ROOMS ON LAND TOUR WAS VERY OLD AND NOT CLEAN IN FAIRBANKS.. THE HOLLAND AMERICA SHIP NOORDAM WAS ALSO VERY OLD, OUR STATE ROOM HAD TWIN BEDS THAT WERE NOT VERY COMFORTABLE. WE TRIED TO FIND A TOUR ON SUNDAY WHEN WE GOT OFF THE SHIP BUT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING TO DO EVERYTHING WAS ALL READY BOOKED, SO WE SPENT THE DAY IN THE VANCOUVER AIRPORT, ARRIVED THERE ABOUT 12 NOON AND OUR FLIGHT DID NOT LEAVE TILL AFTER 11 THAT NITE. FLIGHT FROM VANCOUVER TO NEWARK WAS NOT GREAT THEN OUR FLIGHT FROM NEWARK TO ALBANY GOT CANCELED AND WE HAD TO TAKE A UBER HOME TO ALBANY NY, OUR LUGGAGE WAS LOST AND WE HAD TO GO TO THE ALBANY NY AIRPORT TO PICK IT UP. SO NOW YOU KNOW WHY I THINK THIS EXPERIENCE WAS AVERAGE AFTER SPENDING $8148 I AM NOT VERY PLEASED WITH THE TRIP.. I AM ALSO WAITING TO BE FOR A REFUND FOR MY AIR FAIR FROM NEWARK TO ALBANY..

  Flight arrangements were horrible for both arrival & departure. Tours were too long--just driving around Denali looking for animals w/o even stopping at the NPS Visitor Center. Domed train ride was absolutely too long w/nothing to see except trees & mts. Towns where we stopped were basically tourist traps filled w/thousands of tourists.

  10 hours waiting in Seattle for Fairbanks flight was way too long & boring - made the day 24 hours without sleep.Bath tubs at the Lodges had rings around. Too quick/early turn around the next morning.Buffets there were good.Ship was too big & too many people.Customs at the end was awful with a lot of standing & waiting - no restrooms handy & too many people waiting to get thru, not only at Vancouver, but back into the StatesWon't sail with Princess again - formal dining was hard to understand staff & they were slow, couldn't tell us what the items were.The other buffets were nice, but the area too cold & too crowded.Room attendant didn't supply ice at the end of each day as was asked & had a doc. note to that affect.

  My most memorable experiences were in the interior of Alaska. I loved the time we spent on the Tundra Wilderness tour in Denali Park. I also loved the dome-top train ride through the Alaskan wilderness. I felt the interior was the most authentic and wished we could have had double the time there and less cruise.

  The tour was Great, our guide was awesome. We loved the options of adding excursions. We loved our flight seeing Ketchican the best, landing in the middle of the fjord and experiencing the peacefulness....Seeing and learning about the glaciers, experiencing life in Alaska was once in a lifetime for us. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was one of the hotels needed updated and the weather was record breaking highs and most the facilities did not have any kind of air conditioning. I also expected more meals to be included for the price.

  There were a few. I loved the train trip. Beautiful countryside. I loved the lodges we stayed in. The Paddleboat ride and lunch were great. One issue not so great was I was suppose to get a balcony on the ship which I did not get. The stateroom was not good. The flight home was not up to speed and then to be dropped off away from the gate and have to walk up a flight is stairs with bags was not fun. That could of been better.

  Karen Newman

  The tour itself was great and memorable however, our flight schedule was very bad. Very late start from departure location which caused us to arrive in Alaska within a 20 hour framework. I was the group leader from my area and was in no way involved in selecting the flight times.

  The experience on the cruise was fine. We were on the trip to see all we could of Alaska and really weren't into the entertainment and shopping which were major components of the Princess experience.We loved the river boat trip, the excursions into Denali and all the views of the coast as we cruised to Vancouver. The time we spent viewing the glaciers was unexpectedly amazing and awe inspiring. We were very disappointed that we were not able to book a minisuite on the cruise ship via Collette.

  Our tour manager was Chuck Tracy. Chuck was truly outstanding! He was, in fact, the reason I have rated this tour so highly. My wife had some mobility issues and Chuck's compassion and thoughtfulness made our lives much easier during the tour and cruise. Walking is certainly taken for granted by those of us who have no impairment. This makes it difficult for the unimpaired to communicate the degree of rigor involved in boarding buses, ships and airplanes. This is especially evident in the descriptions of walking and stair climbing in the shore excursion information.

  The most memorable time for me was sitting in the dining room eating lunch and going past the glaciers. Another memorable time was watching the movie under the stars as the ship was gliding by the beautiful mountains. The train ride through Denali Park was amazing.The day was so clear that we have awesome pictures of Denali.

  Excellent, I would not hesitate to use your company again in the future. However, I would try to deal directly with Collette and not the travel agency. There was too much back and forth when all 3 of us were involved.

  We were happy with the locations we were brought to and where we stayed. We liked that we were able to have free time to visit locations we found interesting, and that our guide advised us of things we should see and not see. Some of the stops on the land portion of the trip we understood were tourist traps so we conducted our selves appropriately. We were able to get pictures of the local wild life while were on the bus tours. We found the towns of Alaska to be fun to see and the locations a once in a life time visit. We loved it.

  Our tour through Denali Natl. Park with super Naturalist/driver, Bill Watkins. Our 4 hr. train ride from Talkeetna to Denali. Riding on our tour bus with Ann Grier, our Collette guide. The unbelievable sights of wildlife, glaciers, and the geological changes due to the elevation and mountains. Our tour by the Star Princess Liner. This was our first experience on an ocean liner. Seeing 3 major cities in Alaska and stopping at the ports for a day each & visit with tour through Vancouver. Interesting to learn about each of the cities, people, cultures, economies.

  As sated above the tour director was excellent. Most of the hotels were ok but hardly the best.
