For those of you looking for an unforgettable Alaskan experience, you will be thrilled to hear that Princess Cruises have put together an amazing programme for 2017. Princess Cruises will be sailing six of its ships on a total of 113 voyages across the breath-taking region of Alaska.
Princess Cruises are offering seven or ten night ‘Inside Passage’ roundtrip cruises from Seattle or San Francisco. If you prefer to set sail from Vancouver or Anchorage, there is a seven night ‘Voyage of the Glaciers’ cruise departing from either ports. Both cruises will include the ‘must see’ ports of Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway, as well as taking in the marvellous sights of Glacier Bay, College Fjord and of course the Hubbard Glacier.
To make your cruise even more memorable, the ‘Voyage of the Glaciers’ itinerary offers more than 20 land tour options for you to choose from. These range from a glass-domed train ride through the Canadian Rockies, experiencing places that can only be seen by rail, and two overnight stays in a Princess Wilderness Lodge located within the six million acre Denali National Park which boasts peak towers of 20,320ft high, the highest in North America.
Princess has introduced some great onboard options as part of their ‘North to Alaska’ programme. This is to enable guests to enjoy their Alaskan experience both on and off the ship. One of our favourites has to be ‘Puppies in the Piazza’, which is where handlers bring Alaskan sled dog puppies onboard for guests to meet and learn more about. This also allows people with mobility issues to experience something that they otherwise would not have been able to. If fishing is your thing, then the ‘Cook My Catch’ programme will enable you to have your catch prepared by a chef onboard.
