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.

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.

Princess is one of a select few cruise lines permitted to cruise the pristine waters of Glacier Bay, the highlight of our 7-day Voyage of the Glaciers cruise. Just west of Juneau, this breathtaking national park and preserve boasts some of the world's most spectacular tidewater glaciers, such as Margerie Glacier, which often drops colossal chunks of ice into the sea. Not surprisingly, Glacier Bay National Park and its epic ice giants are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising Alaska's magnificent park system.

During your scenic cruise, friendly Park Rangers will join the ship to share their knowledge of this amazing place and host a fun Junior Ranger program for kids. They may even be able to help you identify Glacier Bay's abundant wildlife, including humpback whales, sea otters, porpoises, harbor seals, black bears, mountain goats, bald eagles and large colonies of seabirds.

Take in the awe-inspiring scenery as you enjoy an unforgettable day of sailing through this dazzling park, where you'll glide along emerald waters and past calving icebergs, and can breathe in the crisp, fresh air to your heart's content.

Arrives: 6:00 PM Departs: 8:30 PM

Embark on an unforgettable journey your the cruise glides through College Fjord's icy waters, with sweeping landscapes, snow-capped peaks, and mirror-like sea. Marvel at the 16 tidewater glaciers, and witness the captivating calving displays, where chunks of ice break off into the sea, all from the comfort of the ship.

College Fjord stands out not only for its breathtaking scenery but also for its unique naming tradition. The glaciers of College Fjord are named after renowned American Ivy League colleges, such as Harvard and Yale, adding a touch of academic charm to nature's grandeur.

Observe the diverse marine life of the fjord, including playful seals and majestic whales, with the pristine, nutrient-rich waters creating a thriving ecosystem. Get lost in the beauty of the fjord and prepare for a remarkable cruise highlight.

Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, offers a captivating mix of natural beauty and urban appeal. Nestled between the Chugach Mountains and Cook Inlet, Anchorage provides stunning vistas and abundant wildlife. Start your day with a visit to the Anchorage Museum, which showcases Alaskan history, art, and culture. A stroll through the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail offers breathtaking views of the coastline and a chance to spot moose or even beluga whales.

For a taste of local cuisine, head to the bustling Anchorage Market & Festival, where you can sample fresh seafood and unique Alaskan treats. Don't miss the Alaska Native Heritage Center to learn about indigenous cultures through exhibits and performances. Anchorage’s vibrant downtown offers eclectic shops, cozy cafes, and opportunities to explore Alaskan craftsmanship.

Port:Whittier

Whittier is 60 miles (about an hours drive) south of Anchorage, and is one of the Anchorage area's two major cruise ports. The trip south traverses the spectacular Turnagain Arm fiord and Portage Valley, passing the resort town of Girdwood along the way.

There are many small turnouts along the way that are photo-perfect. The small community of Girdwood is a great spot to take a quick hike or a ride up the aerial tram. Whittier itself offers fishing, and wildlife and glacier day cruises on top of being a major port of call for cruise passengers.

Arrives: 3:00 PM Departs: 8:00 PM

Off the coast of Yakutat - 200 miles North West of Juneau - Hubbard is certainly gigantic: it's more than 9km/6mi wide where it meets the ocean. The face is over 100m/350ft tall, and icebergs 3 to 4 stories in height aren’t uncommon.

Granted, most of that ice is below water, but the ice can be so thick that cruise ships can’t get too close. In the right conditions, however, your ship might be able to get within 1km/0.5mi of the face. The strong currents and riptides that flow between Gilbert Point and the face of the glacier cause calving to occur on a daily basis, sending massive chunks of ice crashing into Disenchantment Bay.

But don't be fooled, Hubbard Glacier stands strong and is advancing so fast its earned the title "The Galloping Glacier".

Arrives: 9:15 AM Departs: 7:30 PM

The marine wilderness of Glacier Bay National Park includes tidewater glaciers, snow-capped mountain ranges, ocean coastlines, deep fjords, and freshwater rivers and lakes. Glacier Bay is equally rich in wildlife. An Alaska cruise that ventures up the Bay usually yields sightings of black and brown bears and mountain goats, especially in small ships that cruise close to the shore. Humpback whales have been increasing in the water of the Bay, and orca or killer whales are seen cruising through the water in search of harbor seals.

Arrives: 7:00 AM Departs: 8:30 PM

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.
