North to Alaska
Our award-winning North to Alaska program, brings local personalities, culture and cuisine on board to immerse you in all things Alaska. Watch actual lumberjacks in action, hear from real Alaskans like best-selling “Tales of the Wild” author Nick Jans, dine on fresh Alaska seafood, meet National Park Rangers and naturalists, and make friends with Alaska’s next sled dog class with Puppies in the Piazza.
Shore Excursions
There are certain experiences that are uniquely Alaskan — salmon fishing in a quiet river, watching a family of bears forage for berries, or admiring a Native craftsman carving a totem pole. That's why Princess offers optional excursions for every interest, and with More Ashore calls in Juneau on many sailings, you can extend your day with more time in port and experience even more of this historic town.
Glaciers
Our Alaska itineraries will bring you face to face with at least one of these icy mammoths in places like stunning Glacier Bay National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and named a Cruise Wonder of the World by Condé Nast Traveler — or breathtaking Tracy Arm Fjord, and farther north at College Fjord or Hubbard Glacier.
Wildlife
How many times in your life have you had the opportunity to see moose grazing in vast meadows, whales frolicking in glistening waters and bears in their native habitat? In Alaska, all that is possible — including glimpsing Denali National Park’s Big Five: brown bears, wolves, moose, Dall sheep and caribou.
National Parks
Here you’ll find some of America’s most stunning national gems — awe-inspiring Denali National Park, home to North America’s tallest peak, 20,310-foot Denali; Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, larger than the country of Switzerland; Glacier Bay National Park with towering Margerie Glacier; and beautiful Kenai Fjords National Park, with its glaciers and abundant marine life.
Inside Passage & Alaska Cruise Ports
Sailing into ports along the Inside Passage, you’ll get a glimpse into the welcoming personality of the Great Land, and a taste of the fascinating gold rush history that has left its mark on the region’s streets, saloons and storefronts. Contrasting the rustic authenticity of Alaska’s towns is the regal British influence of delightful Victoria, B.C., a stop on select Princess® Alaskan cruises.
CONVENIENT TRANSFER OPTIONS FROM YOUR AIRPLANE TO THE SHIP
We want to make your cruise as smooth as possible so you can relax, and explore the world. That's why we offer Princess airport-to-ship transfers, a secure and worry-free way to start and end your vacation with reliable and courteous Princess staff transporting you and your luggage via comfortable motorcoach.
Cruise Plus Hotel Packages
Add peace of mind and a sense of security to your vacation with a Cruise Plus® Hotel Package. Give yourself a few days to relax either before or after your Alaska cruise and take in the sights of a sensational city. Princess handles all the details – including transfers and baggage handling – with accommodations selected for their incredible locations and excellent service.
