Cruise Itinerary

Departs: 4:00 PM

Seattle is a dynamic, urban city, located in the Northwest region of the United States on Puget Sound. Being surrounded by water and unmatched natural beauty, outdoor activities have become a popular aspect of this area. This city is also home to modern architecture, captivating art, and their famously prominent coffee culture.

Top Things to Do in Seattle:

  • shop at the longest-running farmers markets in the US, the Pike Place Market
  • visit ‘The Seattle Spheres’, an indoor rainforest
  • explore the Starbucks Reserve and Tasting Room
  • visit the iconic ‘Space Needle’

Love Sabatini’s? (Or really good Italian dinners?) You’ll be happy to hear this popular specialty restaurant has returned to its roots. Think traditional Italian comfort cuisine. Our new menu embraces the old: tried-and-true family recipes our chefs brought with them from Italy, plus exquisite Italian wines and cocktails. You can even enjoy some shareable plates exclusively at Sabatini’s Trattoria.

Arrives: 7:00 AM Departs: 5:00 PM

Visitors to Ketchikan will be intrigued by its rich Native heritage, which includes the world's oldest collection of totem poles at Totem Heritage Center. The Haida, Tlingit and Tsimshian are all a part of the city's colorful history. Ketchikan, with its abundance of salmon, is also a sportfishing paradise. Sightseers will be impressed with both the scenic town and its surroundings, especially Misty Fjords National Monument.

Top Things to Do in Ketchikan:

  • visit Totem Bight State Park
  • venture past the town limits into Tongass National Forest
  • visit Ketchikan's own Saxman Native Village
  • a myriad of outdoor adventures from fishing to zip-lining!

Even if you’re not sailing to Naples (this time), you can still enjoy one of their greatest contributions to the culinary world. Alfredo’s / Gigi’s Pizzeria serves up certified authentic Neapolitan pizza made to order from scratch in a cheery restaurant named after our very own executive chef and inspired by the colors and landscapes of the Amalfi coast.

Arrives: 7:30 AM

Vancouver is the ideal home port to begin or end an Alaskan adventure. Blessed with stunning vistas and exciting activities, Vancouver offers the perfect blend of urban and natural experiences. Vancouver is a must for any cruise itinerary, and because it's a compact, walkable city right on the edge of nature, adding on just a couple of extra days to explore will give you an authentic taste of what makes this place so attractive to visitors.

Located in the heart of Vancouver’s waterfront, 'Canada Place' (cruise terminal) can service up to three luxury cruise ships at any given time.

Alaska Princess Cruise Tour with friends 0 , NSW, Australia, Aug 2024
I have just returned from USA after one month holiday. My 13 days Alaska Princess Cruise tour was booked by Rachael at Global Journeys. I was very appreciate what Rachael has done for us from the beginning to the end of this trip. On our Princess Land Tour (6 days) we (me & 8 friends) stayed at Captain Cook Hotel in Anchorage and other Princess, Kenai, ...read more Mt McKinley and Denali Wilderness Lodges. All these lodges are quite remote with beautiful gardens, cosy rooms . The view is spectacular especially the one in Kenai, it is very romantic with mountain, Kenai river and the wooden fire in each room. Staff there were very friendly and helpful. I loved it so much and wished that I could stay longer. On our southbound cruise ship from Anchorage to Vancouver wa beautiful although quite old. Staff were friendly and nice. Food was delicious, plenty and varied every day. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Ports stops were relaxing with plenty of time to explore. We enjoyed many entertainments on sea days or relaxed by the window to see the scenery.
Alaskan Cruise   1 , VIC, Australia, Apr 2024
First time cruise and enjoyed every minute. Princess cruises are well organised and the cruise went according to plan. Great food and on board entertainment was entertaining. A very relaxing 7 days and the scenery breathtaking.
Mini Cruise 2 , NSW, Australia, Mar 2024
Great way to travel back to Sydney from Melbourne. We were quite impressed with Princess Cruises. Fantastic shows, food and service. Well organised and loved talking to lots of different people at the shared tables which were always available at different times. You need to book at all restaurants if you want to sit with just your party.
14-Day New Zealand Cruise - Melbourne Return 5 , VIC, Australia, Feb 2024
Our cruise with the Grand Princess was absolutely fantastic and would recommend it to everyone. Our agent Hannah was simply great with our booking, planning, updates, reassurances everything was completed, etc. She was most helpful in every way and she was most appreciated as she will be with our next two bookings. Thanks Hannah.
Tour Downunder 1 , VIC, Australia, Mar 2023
The highlights of the trip were being with family from UK and showing them my adopted home; I found the visit to Port Lincoln the most interesting and would have liked more time in the Coffin Bay area. The staff on board were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Unfortunately the weather was not favourable so no swimming. My cabin was very comfortable, ...read more especially the bed and I enjoyed my balcony.
