Package details include:

Be a part of the Last Great Race on Earth, an extraordinary event when mushers and their trusted teams of sled dogs embark on a grueling trek through more than 1,150 miles of jagged mountains, frozen rivers, desolate tundra, and windswept coastline.

Your package includes attendance at the official Musher's pre-race banquet** where you’ll meet the men and women who will be competing. Then be there to cheer them on at the ceremonial start of the race in downtown Anchorage. You’ll also get a chance to chat with four-time Iditarod Champion Martin Buser at a private tour of his award-winning kennel.

Throughout your adventure, you'll be assisted by an Alaskan escort with intimate knowledge of the local people and places. In addition, behind-the-scenes, in-depth tours of the Alaska Sealife Center, the Alaska Zoo, and Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center will expose you to some of Alaska's most spectacular wildlife.

And if you're lucky, you may see the Northern Lights! The Northern Lights are at their most dazzling from December to March when nights are longest and the sky darkest.

• 6 nights hotel accommodations; 4 nights in Anchorage and 2 in Girdwood
• Breakfast on days 2-6, 1 lunch and 2 dinners
• Attendance at the Mushers' Banquet and at the ceremonial start of the 2012 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race**
