Time of cruise

I saw that most of the Princess cruises end at Whittier at 1230 am, Is that noon hour?



Is there enough time, to arrive to Anchorage, rent a car and drive to Danali Park, the same day?



Time of cruise


From looking at their website I would say that the ship docks in Whittier at 30mins after midnight, hence 12:30 am, not 1230 hours which would be pm.



Time of cruise


Princess ships get to Whittier just after midnight - disembarking begins at about 06:30. You do have enough time to shuttle to Anchorage, rent a car and get to Denali Park that day. It%26#39;s 60 miles from Whittier to Anchorage, about an hour and a half depending on how you hit the tunnel opening times, and 240 miles from Anchorage to the Denali Park entrance, about 4 and a half hours.




You then need two nights at Denali Park and another day for transit. :) You do need to do a grocery stop by Wasilla, and consider a stop in Talkeetna for lunch. Especially good is the Latitude and Roadhouse.
