SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 12, 2025 – Princess Cruises is setting the stage for unforgettable adventures in the great outdoors with its newly expanded Alaska itineraries for 2025 and 2026, promising deeper immersion in some of North America's most breathtaking wilderness.
With more travelers seeking nature-rich experiences, Princess Cruises is responding with a fresh lineup of routes that blend rugged landscapes, wildlife encounters, and cultural heritage—all while offering the premium comfort the brand is known for. The expanded offerings are tailored for modern adventurers who crave raw nature without sacrificing style.
Deeper Into Alaska’s Wild Heart
Princess Cruises, a leader in Alaska travel for over five decades, brings unmatched expertise to its new itineraries. Whether it’s a classic 7-day glacier cruise or a fully immersive “Cruisetour” that includes land excursions, train journeys, and lodge stays, travelers have more options than ever to experience the state's awe-inspiring scenery and wildlife.
Highlights of the new adventures include:
- Glistening glaciers and legendary peaks, such as Denali, the highest mountain in North America at 6,194 meters.
- Wildlife hot spots like Katmai National Park, renowned for its dense brown bear population.
- UNESCO-protected treasures, including Glacier Bay, which is visited more frequently by Princess Cruises than any other cruise line.
More Ships, More Time to Explore
In 2025, seven Princess ships will sail Alaskan waters; in 2026, that number grows to eight. Departures are available from major coastal cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, and Anchorage—making it easier than ever for travelers to start their journey.
New itineraries are designed with longer port stops in scenic towns like Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan, giving guests ample time to soak up local culture and natural beauty. With access to remote destinations such as Hubbard Glacier and Glacier Bay National Park—many only reachable by ship—the cruise experience feels truly off the beaten path.
