The world’s leading luxury cruise brand “Princess Cruises,” known for its most classic, popular, and award-winning Alaska itinerary, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of this route in 2019. Princess Cruises has expanded its Alaska cruise season and, for the first time, is deploying seven Princess ships—Island Princess, Golden Princess, Royal Princess, Coral Princess, Star Princess, Ruby Princess, and Grand Princess—to serve the Alaska routes together.

Princess Cruises is offering a more comprehensive range of Fly Cruise options and educational experiences, such as the exclusive Alaska Juneau Boat Tour launched in partnership with Discovery Channel. The Alaska itinerary showcases breathtaking glacier scenery and provides deeper insights into the mysteries of nature.

An exclusive “Land & Sea Package” in Alaska offers double the premium experience with breathtaking mountain and sea views. First, enjoy exclusive access to Glacier Bay National Park—a UNESCO World Heritage Site where only two large cruise ships are permitted entry per day and which can only be visited by ship. A specially hired park ranger from Glacier Bay National Park provides an in-depth interpretation of the park’s history and natural evolution, allowing you to deeply feel the awe of glaciers and witness the vitality of local wildlife.

Second, the exclusive Princess Cruises Land & Sea Package takes you via a scenic railway directly to Denali National Park, North America’s highest peak, and offers stays in exclusive wilderness lodges located within Denali, McKinley, and Kenai National Parks, or at the McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge co-created with Animal Planet’s “Treehouse Masters.” Enjoy being surrounded by nature, sparkling starry skies, and a tranquil lifestyle, while exploring the wild landscapes more deeply.

The Alaska itinerary also introduces an “Local Experience” program that explores the unique natural and cultural ecology of frontier towns. For example, you can ride a dog sled pulled by Alaskan huskies across glaciers; in Ketchikan, experience life as a lumberjack and personally catch fresh fish, which will then be cooked by Princess Cruises’ master chefs; or head to Juneau, Alaska’s capital known as the “Little San Francisco,” for a nostalgic gold rush adventure.
