ALASKA
So incredibly beautiful,
you’ll think you stepped into a
painting. This is Alaska as seen from
the panoramic perspective of your
dazzling Princess ship. Monumental
glaciers are nature’s draw and Alaska’s
waterways reveal more of these thrilling
Ice Age giants than anywhere else on
earth. Alaska’s Inside Passage is one of
the most scenic sea-lanes in the world,
home to bald eagles, whales, sea lions,
otters, brown bears, mountain goats and
flocks of seabirds. Plus you’ll visit a
variety of flavorful ports of call full
of rich history and native culture.

in the country, Tongass National Forest.
Rangers and
Naturalists
Alaska's intriguing
flora, fauna and geology come to life by the
full-time onboard naturalists who sails with you
the entire length of the cruise. While in
Glacier Bay National Park, rangers from the
National Park Service will board the ship to

this national treasure. Rangers also lead our

and scenery in a fun and entertaining way.
