Princess Cruises followed sister brand Holland America Line in confirming a full summer season of Alaska cruises and tours, and a summer/fall Canada/New England program.

This came after Canada's publication of COVID-19 protocols for cruises on Monday.

Six Alaska ships

More people sail to Alaska with Princess than any other line, and this year's season features six ships including the new Discovery Princess. There will be 140 departures of 12 itineraries and five glacier-viewing experiences.

Princess sails to and from Vancouver, BC, on its 'Voyage of the Glaciers' seven-day cruises to and from Whittier, Alaska. More than 20 cruise-tour options are available, pairing Denali National Park and Princess Wilderness Lodges with a 'Voyage of the Glaciers' cruise.

Alaska cruises sailing from Seattle and San Francisco visit Victoria, BC, and various Alaska ports.

The first Princess ship to call Canada will be Caribbean Princess on a four-day Pacific Coastal voyage, with a stop at Victoria April 6, followed by Vancouver April 7.

Two ships in Canada/New England

On Canada/New England voyages, Princess sails from Québec City and New York visiting Canadian ports including Halifax, Saint John (for the Bay of Fundy), Sydney on Cape Breton Island and Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. The 2022 season runs from July through October and features 16 departures of six itineraries on Enchanted Princess and Caribbean Princess.
