Voyage of the Glaciers is one of the standout itineraries Princess will offer. These one-way cruises between Vancouver and Whittier can be combined with land-based cruisetours and showcase some of the state’s most spectacular scenery, including visits to iconic ports such as Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway.

Lodges

The cruise line’s signature Wilderness Lodges, including Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge and Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge, provide exceptional accommodations in the heart of Alaska. They give guests unparalleled access to wildlife, the coveted opportunity to catch a glimpse of snowcapped Denali (North America’s tallest mountain), and breathtaking landscapes.

Another one of Princess’ lodges is the Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge, situated on the banks of the turquoise Kenai River. This lodge offers a secluded wilderness retreat surrounded by Alaska’s dramatic mountain landscapes and forested valleys.

Authentic Alaska

The Alaska experience on Princess Cruises extends well beyond the destination itself. Through the North to Alaska onboard program, guests enjoy authentic culinary experiences, engaging cultural presentations and destination-inspired entertainment that celebrate Alaska’s rich history, traditions and natural beauty.

Guest favorites from the past include Puppies in the Piazza, Cook My Catch, Tales from the Deadliest Catch, Native Alaska cultural presentations, the Glacier Bay National Park Junior Ranger program and educational experiences at Princess Wilderness Lodges.

Guests can also discover Alaska through immersive Local Connections shore excursions, including whale watching in Juneau, historic White Pass Railway adventures in Skagway, exclusive lumberjack experiences in Ketchikan, helicopter glacier landings near Denali and wildlife cruises through Kenai Fjords National Park.

Jim Berra, Princess Cruises Chief Commercial Officer, gave the following statement:

“Alaska is one of the world’s most awe-inspiring destinations, and Princess has spent nearly 60 years helping guests experience it in a way few others can. Our 2028 season brings together glacier-filled voyages, unforgettable wildlife and cultural experiences, Princess Wilderness Lodges and Rail, along with seamless cruisetours that take guests deeper into the Great Land – creating a complete Alaska vacation.”
