3 reasons to visit Alaska
No matter who you are, no matter what you’re looking for, Alaska’s majesty offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience you’ll crave to experience more than once. From sailing past the sights you’ve only seen on postcards to finding tranquil moments among wildlife that strengthen your connection to nature, adventures in the Great Land stick with you for life
When you float through the days without a care in the world, it’s easy to fall in love with everything around you. Capture incredible photos of mountain peaks and tidewater glaciers. Exclaim over a perfect bite of Alaskan salmon. Turn your gaze from wildlife to your favorite person next to you as if to say, “Is this real life?” From locally sourced sustainable seafood to Discovery™ and Animal Planet™ excursions on land, see why Princess® is the leader in Alaska voyages and has been awarded Travel Weekly’s Best Cruise Line in Alaska award 19 times (and counting!). Feel it with your whole heart as you experience big adventures and quiet moments in one memorable vacation.
An abundance of choice means you’re sure to have an experience that’s right for you. Follow your personal passions toward tasting authentic food, watching for wildlife, and learning about the culture. Sail away from a convenient city like Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Vancouver, B.C., or Anchorage (Whittier). Tailor the length from 7-, 8-, 10-, 11-, 16-, 17- and 22-day itineraries, all of which include at least one day of glacier viewing (and often two). Browse, book and behold the beauty of Alaska
One-way cruises Voyage of the Glaciers Top-Rated Itinerary 7 days - This is the most popular option, with two days dedicated to scenic glacier viewing. Spend seven days on a one-way cruise through the Inside Passage and beyond, and get close to the awe-inspiring Margerie Glacier in Glacier Bay National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hubbard Glacier or College Fjord is also part of your voyage, along with visits to historic Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway.
Roundtrip cruises 7 to 22 days - Stretching all the way from Washington’s Puget Sound and into Southeast Alaska, the Inside Passage has more than 1,000 islands, fjords and quiet bays. As you sail on a roundtrip cruise with Princess, admire the scenery surrounding you, and stop in iconic ports such as Skagway, Ketchikan and Juneau.
See the Great Land from a new angle — or three — by sea, by train and by land. Alaska cruisetours combine a seven day Voyage of the Glaciers cruise with scenic rail travel and multiple days on land, all while taking you to iconic spots like Glacier Bay and Denali national parks. Choose to cruise first and explore on land later (or the other way around), sailing past glaciers and stopping at iconic ports before boarding the exclusive Direct-to-the-Wilderness® rail service bound for the Denali area. There, with a Princess-owned wilderness lodge as your home base, sit back and relax just steps from Alaska’s best national park.
Choose from four cruisetour categories, all of which include a 7-day Voyage of the Glaciers cruise, scenic rail travel, overnights in Princess-owned and-operated wilderness lodges, and time in Fairbanks and/or Anchorage.

Fresh Alaska seafood is at the forefront of the innovative “Wild for Alaska Seafood” menu, featuring 30 distinctive seafood dishes and cocktails inspired by the destination. Sink your teeth into a variety of salmon dishes, Dungeness crabs and wild spot prawn cooked to perfection, or dine on clam chowder and loaded steamer pots at the World Fresh Marketplace Crab Shack pop-up experience. Indulge in “Glacial-chilled Martinis” or sip your way through a flight of distilled spirits or wines picked to pair with seafood. It’s an experience so rich, it has earned us a Gold Award in Travel Weekly’s annual Magellan Awards.
Sail straight to the source - When food is one of your great passions, an Alaska cruise serves up the greatest gifts. Taste your way through the Great Land from the main dining room with locally sourced salmon, shrimp and crab everywhere you look and served up any way you like. Chowders, fish and chips, and crab cakes are just the beginning. With the Cook My Catch program, you can even reel in your own salmon or halibut (with a little help from a local expert) and have your haul prepared for dinner by our talented chefs.
