Sure, you’ll be home for Christmas. But what are you doing New Year’s Eve?

Head up to Fairbanks, where Princess is putting on a lovely New Year’s Eve soiree at the Princess Lodge, on the frozen banks of the Chena River. In fact, right now it’s (b-r-r-r-r) -28F in Fairbanks. Yup. Chilly.

Fear not–it’s warm inside, although I got “icy reception” on the phone last time I visited in the winter (right). HA!

Here’s some detail on the big soiree, available for $249 per couple (that includes overnight accommodations at the lodge):

Appetizer: Crab and Celery Remoulade. Alaskan King Crab blended with capers, creme fresh, celery served with puffed pastry chips.

Wine: Sterling Sauvignon Blanc

Salad: Organic Baby Greens, Radicchio, Walnuts and Gruyere with a Dijon Vinaigrette (yum!).

Wine: Sterling Pinot Noir (ah, a nice Pinot!)
