Princess Cruises will visit 19 different destinations in Alaska in 2026 and this year will be the first time that a Sphere class ship has visited the 49th State.

In addition to cruises, Princess also offers cruisetours that combine an immersive land visit to Denali National Park with a sailing to Alaska.

The 2026 season includes more than 20 cruisetour options, highlighted by the 15-night National Parks Expedition Tour.

This journey visits five iconic parks – Glacier Bay National Park, Denali National Park, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Kenai Fjords National Park, and Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park (Skagway).

The 15 nights include a seven-day cruise, scenic rail travel, and eight nights ashore, including stays at four Princess-owned wilderness lodges.
