Overview
The Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge is a premier wilderness retreat located in Cooper Landing, Alaska, nestled on a bluff overlooking the scenic Kenai River. Part of Princess Cruises' extensive network of lodges in Alaska, it serves as an ideal base for exploring the diverse natural beauty of the Kenai Peninsula. The lodge offers a comfortable and immersive experience, blending rustic charm with modern amenities, and providing easy access to world-class fishing, wildlife viewing, and outdoor adventures.
Surrounded by towering mountains and pristine wilderness, the Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge is particularly renowned for its proximity to the Kenai River, famous for its salmon and trout fishing. It's also a convenient gateway to the stunning Kenai Fjords National Park, where glaciers calve into the sea and abundant marine wildlife thrives. The lodge provides a tranquil setting for guests to connect with Alaska's wild heart, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
The Kenai River is world-renowned for its incredible salmon runs (King, Sockeye, Silver) and trophy rainbow trout. Engage in a guided fishing excursion directly from the lodge or nearby, whether you're an experienced angler or a novice.
Tip: Fishing seasons vary by salmon species; research the best time for your desired catch. Guided trips are highly recommended for the best experience and local knowledge.
Embark on a wildlife and glacier cruise into Kenai Fjords National Park from nearby Seward (about a 2-hour drive). These full-day excursions offer spectacular views of tidewater glaciers, deep fjords, and abundant marine wildlife including whales (humpback, orca), sea lions, otters, puffins, and eagles.
Tip: Book your cruise in advance, especially during peak season. Dress in layers, as it can be chilly on the water, even on a sunny day. Bring binoculars and a camera.
Enjoy a leisurely walk or hike on the trails around the lodge and along the Kenai River. These trails offer opportunities for scenic views, birdwatching, and simply soaking in the serene wilderness atmosphere.
Tip: Ask the lodge staff for maps and recommendations for trails suitable for your fitness level. Be bear aware and carry bear spray if venturing into more remote areas.
On your way to or from Seward, stop at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. This rescue and rehabilitation center provides a safe home for orphaned or injured Alaskan wildlife, including bears, moose, caribou, musk oxen, and eagles, offering close-up viewing opportunities.
Tip: It's a great place to see Alaska's iconic animals in a natural setting, especially if you haven't had much luck with wild sightings.
Experience the Kenai River from a different perspective by rafting or kayaking. Options range from peaceful scenic floats suitable for all ages to more adventurous whitewater sections.
Tip: Many local outfitters offer guided trips. Choose a trip that matches your comfort level and desired adventure.
Take time to simply relax and enjoy the amenities and stunning views from the Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge. Sit on the deck overlooking the river, enjoy a meal at one of the lodge's restaurants, or unwind by a fireplace.
Tip: The lodge itself is part of the experience. Take advantage of the comfortable common areas and the serene natural setting.
