Princess Cruises outlines seven-ship Alaska season in 2024

Sailings will be available from San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, BC, and Whittier. In addition, the line’s signature 'Voyage of the Glaciers' cruise may be combined with various land tour options featuring stays at Princess Wilderness Lodges.

'We’re celebrating our 55th anniversary in 2024 cruising to this must-see destination, so whether it’s your first or fifth time visiting Alaska, we are ready to help guests make inspiring memories to last a lifetime,' Princess President John Padgett said.

158 departures

The season includes 158 departures on 14 unique itineraries with 17 destinations, including five glacier viewing experiences. Among these are 86 visits to Glacier Bay National Park, including most 'Voyage of the Glaciers' itineraries between Whittier and Vancouver, and many Inside Passage voyages round-trip from Seattle, San Francisco and Vancouver.

Three ships — Royal Princess, Sapphire Princess (departing Saturdays) and Grand Princess (departing Wednesdays) — sail the 'Voyage of the Glaciers' itinerary featuring two glacier-viewing experiences on each cruise. In addition, northbound voyages include a 'More Ashore' late-night stay in Juneau.

The line's newest ship, Discovery Princess, and Majestic Princess depart from Seattle on Saturdays and Sundays for Inside Passage cruises and include 'More Ashore' late-night stays in Juneau.

Crown Princess departs from San Francisco on 11-day Inside Passage cruises.

Ruby Princess sails from Vancouver on weeklong Inside Passage cruises, with many departures including sailing Glacier Bay National Park.

Cruise-tours

Cruise-tours combine a seven-day 'Voyage of the Glaciers' with three to 10 nights on land. All feature a visit to Alaska’s top two attractions: Glacier Bay National Park and Denali National Park.

Cruise-tours also offer the scenic Princess 'Direct-to-Wilderness' rail service, departing directly from the ship in Whittier all the way to the Denali area for more time in the wilderness.

The 17-night 'Ultimate Princess Connoisseur' cruise-tour bundles in two nights at each one of the five Princess Wilderness Lodges, on the doorsteps of national parks including Kenai Fjords and Wrangell St. Elias and Denali National Park.

The line's 'North to Alaska' enrichment program brings together local personalities, culture and wild Alaska seafood served onboard.
