Hear the thunder of bright blue glaciers calving into the ocean. Stand in awe of majestic mountains soaring above jewel-like lakes. Witness wildlife roaming through unspoiled wilderness. There’s a reason the Great Land is on so many travel wish lists. And there’s no more popular way to see it than with Princess, the #1 cruise line chosen for Alaska vacations. Experience natural wonders as you sail through breathtaking fjords, stop in gold rush-era ports for history and local cuisine, or go deeper with overnight stays in wilderness lodges on the doorsteps of national parks. An Alaska vacation has something for everyone and is a great way to create lifelong memories with loved ones.

Immerse yourself with North to Alaska

Your Alaska adventure begins the moment you step aboard the ship. Be immersed in local personalities and culture with the Gold-Magellan award-winning North to Alaska program, exclusive to Princess. Connect with local experts through a variety of onboard activities and onshore excursions. Hear stories of the Great Land from mushers, lumberjacks, wildlife experts and more. Step inside a planetarium in the Princess Theater for a front row seat to the aurora borealis. Kids and adults alike will enjoy playtime with adorable sled-dog puppies in the Piazza. Celebrate the untamed spirit of Alaska through food. Take your pick of fresh crab, king salmon and halibut on board.

Discover the Inside Passage

Experience one of the most stunning waterways in the world when you sail through the Inside Passage. Stretching from Seattle to the southeastern Alaska panhandle, this must-see cruise route takes you to three historic port towns and is filled with natural beauty. Enjoy a day of scenic cruising at the awe-inspiring Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier. Get a front row seat to granite cliffs and forested shores featuring cascading waterfalls. And spot humpback whales, orcas, seals and other marine life as they swim alongside the ship. An Inside Passage cruise is also one of the best ways to visit Juneau, a city which can only be accessed by boat or aircraft. 

Take the Voyage of the Glaciers cruise

Enjoy a one-way, week-long cruise that features two full days of glacier viewing. Discover Glacier Bay National Park, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, and get up close to Mother Nature’s masterpieces. For your second glacier experience, choose from either College Fjord, with its 16 glaciers, or the enormous Hubbard Glacier. The Voyage of the Glaciers cruise sails more than 500 miles farther north across the Gulf of Alaska and into Prince William Sound for a chance to see unforgettable marine and coastal life. Along the way, you’ll also learn about Native Alaskan heritage in local communities and relive the gold rush in well-preserved towns.  

See more on a Princess cruisetour

If you have more than a week to spare for your vacation, enjoy the best of both land and sea on a Princess cruisetour that combines the 7-day Voyage of the Glaciers cruise with nights in Princess-owned wilderness lodges. Not only will you see two of the Great Land’s greatest attractions — Glacier Bay and Denali national parks — but you’ll also have your pick of excursions from your lodge. Ride the exclusive Direct-to-the-Wilderness®  rail service to experience unspoiled nature from a scenic train. Go off the beaten path with wildlife viewing, and see the famed Denali peak from the air. Or enjoy life like a local with shopping, dining and other fun activities in Anchorage and Fairbanks.
