The Heart Of Alaska

Welcome To The Untouched

Shot exclusively in high-definition on the Princess cruisetour program, this documentary will take you deep into the Alaska interior. Armed with a single camera and tripod, Princess videographer Scott David Martin was sent into the heart of Alaska to capture "the best story possible." Shot over the course of nine days in August 2007, the film delves into the unique landscapes, people, and culture of Alaska in an inspiring story about life in the untamed wilderness.

From footage of grizzly bears foraging and beavers building dams to the insights of a riverboat captain, Scott documented the vibrant personality of a place that lives up to its nickname, The Great Land. And best of all, everything you see in this film can be experienced in person on a Princess Alaska cruisetour. So discover the Heart of Alaska for yourself.

“Directing this project has been a highlight of my professional career. From start to finish, I’m happy to know we did ‘some justice’ to this amazing place. Before I ever set foot in Alaska, I knew an amazing story was at our fingertips. After researching and watching Alaska video/films/programs, one aspect was missing — the story. I personally wondered, what is the story of Alaska? I wanted to know what made people in Alaska stay there OR essentially, what makes our passengers want to go there.”

-Scott David Martin, Director
