Why choose Princess for Alaska’s national parks

Learn more about Glacier Bay National Park

The five Alaska national parks you can visit with Princess

1) Glacier Bay National Park

Blue ice towers over still waters while glaciers crack and thunder as they advance toward the sea. Watch for bears along the shore and whales in the bay. Princess is among the few cruise lines authorized to sail Glacier Bay; rangers come aboard to share expert insight.

2) Denali National Park

Six million acres of wilderness anchored by North America’s tallest peak (20,310 feet). Wildlife like grizzly bears, moose and caribou roam vast valleys and taiga forest. Stay steps from the park entrance at Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge — your gateway to exploration.

3) Kenai Fjords National Park

Near Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge, this park is famed for the Harding Icefield, which fuels dozens of glaciers that carve rugged fjords. Snowcapped peaks, forests, rivers and marine wildlife make it a one-stop sampler of Alaska’s wild beauty.

4) Wrangell–St. Elias National Park

America’s largest national park boasts massive mountain ranges, sweeping glaciers and stories from the Yukon Gold Rush era. Explore more than you imagined was possible in one place.

5) Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park (Skagway)

Skagway preserves the spirit of the 1890s gold rush. Wander the National Historic District, visit restored buildings and relive the journeys of stampeders.
