This 3-night Northern Lights Viewing vacation during the Alaskan winter includes two opportunities for night-time aurora borealis viewing and a guided tour of Fairbanks and its main attractions, including the Museum of the North, Chena Hot Springs, and the Ice Museum. Fairbanks is Alaska’s second-largest city and a hub for winter activity. This aurora viewing getaway is great for visitors with limited time and works well with our other winter tour itineraries.
Meals, gratuities, and towel rental at Chena Hot Springs Resort.
SPECIAL NOTE: The order of the excursions will change, depending on the day of the week you start your tour. After the tour is booked and confirmed, excursions may still change due to northern lights activity, weather, or other considerations; if that happens, you will be consulted regarding any changes.
The program will include a combination of hotels or motels that are considered moderate to standard tourist class. Please be aware not all hotels have shuttle services.
If you would like to book the standard program but with upgraded rail seating, the option and surcharge will be listed when you save to your cart.
The program will include standard rooms at this category of hotel where possible. Alaska has very limited hotel choices in remote areas and small towns. The properties will typically offer a wider range of services such as a full-service restaurant, room service and perhaps a pool or spa facilities. Please be aware the upgraded accommodations in downtown Anchorage do not have hotel shuttle services. Many of the upgraded hotels also offer guaranteed view rooms for additional cost. If you would like a specific room type, in addition to the upgraded program, please ask us about availability and cost difference.
All journeys between Anchorage and Whittier are in standard seating as deluxe dome cars are not available on that route.
