while indulging in luxurious amenities,
then the Ultima Thule Lodge might be
the perfect choice for you. This high-end
lodge offers an all-inclusive package
in the heart of the Alaskan wilderness,

1920s when it first opened. There are
205 rooms and 28 suites, all of which are
luxurious and feature grandiose decor,
such as heavy curtains, large windows
offering panoramic views, freestanding
bathtubs, and beds fit for royalty. You
