Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge, Fairbanks

Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge is the Princess land-tour property in Fairbanks, sitting directly on the bank of the Chena River a short drive from the airport. It functions as the Interior anchor for cruise-tour itineraries heading to or from Denali.

Where it is

On the Chena River in Fairbanks, close to the airport and a few minutes from downtown. Convenient for riverboat departures and Interior day trips.

Who it suits

Cruise land-tour guests, and independent travellers who want a conventional full-service hotel in Fairbanks rather than a remote aurora property. City light means it is not a strong aurora base in itself.

When to go

Primarily a summer land-tour property. For aurora, the darker sites out of town, Chena Hot Springs or Borealis Basecamp, are the better bet.
