Princess Cruises' wilderness treehouse at Mount McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge gives the opportunity view Denali, North America's highest peak, from a new perspective.

The wildnerness treehouse was revealed on the season finale of Animal Planet’s 'Treehouse Masters' and is the latest development in the line's partnership with Discovery Communications.

The treehouse was the first designed and constructed in Alaska by Pete Nelson, the star of the hit TV series. As one of the highest land-based, north-facing viewing areas, the treehouse provides Princess passengers a one-of-a-kind experience to see the south face of Denali from the trees.

The treehouse, powered by solar panels, measures approximately 500 square feet and is accessed by hiking the short hill trail loop.

Travelers on a Princess cruise-tour will be able to visit the treehouse, along with other Princess-owned lodges, and ride on the Direct-to-the-Wilderness rail service. Plans are under way for treehouse programming that will be announced in the months leading up to summer 2018.
