Princess Cruises "Go North" Video Wins Three Telly Awards

Prestigious Video Competition Recognizes Line's Latest Alaska Documentary

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (June 29, 2011) - Go North, the newest of Princess Cruises Collector's Edition videos, has won three prestigious Telly Awards, earning distinction in the Documentary, Travel & Tourism, and Cinematography categories.

Produced and directed by Princess Cruises, Go North tells the story of southeast Alaska, beginning with the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898 and slowly transitioning to the present day. The video tells the local story by exploring the motivation that keeps both Alaskans and travelers enamored with this wild land, and was created by Princess Cruises' award winning film-maker Scott David Martin.

"'Go North' is such a unique look at the history of what made southeast Alaska what it is today, particularly the fascinating legacy of gold rush era," said Jan Swartz, Princess executive vice president. "We're happy the Telly Award judges saw the same excellence we did in this production, which we believe will give passengers a unique feel for the scope and beauty of this part of the world."

Using rare black and white images, complimented by spectacular scenic footage and interviews with local legends and experts, the film reveals the energy and passion of this area and its history. Colorful characters bring the past to life with insight and tales of early travelers to this great land in search of a better life. There is still gold – but today's gold: the allure of a powerful wilderness that is beautiful, yet unforgiving to the unprepared.

"These unique collector videos are a wonderful way to get an in-depth perspective on some of the fascinating regions where we sail," noted Swartz. "They represent the level to which our professional photo and video team will go to create quality productions that will become long-lasting vacation memories passengers can treasure for years after their voyage."

Go North is one of 10 Collector's Edition DVDs available for purchase aboard Princess ships in the photo & video galleries. For a clip from Go North, (and its award-winning companion video, Heart of Alaska) visit Princess website at: http://www.princess.com/learn/destinations/alaska/index.html.
