Discovery III, an authentic sternwheeler riverboat. Your three-and-a half
hour cruise will take you into the heart of Alaska. You will see a bush plane taking off from
a
"bush" style runway, meet four time Iditarod winner Susan Butcher, witness the
"wedding of the rivers," and gain insight into the ancient Athabascan Indian
culture. Alaskan Native guides who have lived and worked in Alaska will take you
on a personalized tour of the Chena Indian Village.Passenger comfort is a top priority. Three of the Discovery III's decks are heated and fully enclosed with glass windows, and the fourth is an open-air sun deck.
Two full-service snack bars offer a variety of fresh homemade Sourdough sandwiches, Captain Jim's famous smoked salmon chowder, beverages, and snacks.
Restrooms are conveniently located, and friendly Alaskan guides and deckhands are always happy to answer your questions.
Guests are asked to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to departure.
