One Incredible Destination. Two Amazing Ways to Experience Alaska.
Why Choose Princess Cruise Line for Alaska?
When it comes to Alaska, no one does it better than Princess Cruises. With more than 55 years of experience exploring the Great Land, Princess has perfected the Alaska vacation, combining breathtaking glacier cruising, immersive cultural experiences, and expertly crafted itineraries.
Princess' exclusive North to Alaska program brings the destination to life through enriching onboard experiences. Learn from local experts, enjoy fresh Alaska seafood, hear stories from seasoned adventurers, and experience authentic entertainment that connects you to Alaska's rich history, wildlife, and culture long before you step ashore.
For those choosing a Cruisetour, Princess offers an experience that no other cruise line can match. Princess is the only cruise line with its own Alaska wilderness lodges, allowing you to stay at beautiful properties designed specifically for Alaska travelers while enjoying a seamless journey from start to finish. Throughout your land tour, you'll travel with a dedicated Princess Tour Director who accompanies your group every step of the way, handling the details, sharing local insights, and ensuring a stress-free experience before you board your cruise.
From glacier-filled seas to Alaska's breathtaking interior, Princess offers the most complete way to experience the Last Frontier.

Travel With Me!
Alaska is one of the most breathtaking places I've ever visited, and I truly believe the Land & Sea CruiseTour is the best way to experience everything this incredible destination has to offer. From the vast wilderness of Denali to the towering glaciers and charming coastal towns you'll discover by ship, this itinerary showcases Alaska in a way that a cruise alone simply can't.
And rather than just sending you on this amazing adventure...I'm coming with you!
I'll be traveling on the complete CruiseTour and aboard Discovery Princess, so from the first day in Fairbanks until we arrive in Vancouver, we'll be sharing this adventure together. We'll watch glaciers calve into the sea, search for bears and moose in Denali, ride the Alaska Railroad, and explore some of Alaska's most beautiful towns.
Of course, you'll have plenty of time to do your own thing, but you'll also have the comfort of knowing there's a familiar face nearby throughout the journey. Whether you have a question, want someone to grab dinner with, or just want to share the excitement of spotting your first whale, I'll be right there with you.
It's more than a vacation—it's an adventure we'll never forget!
