Enjoy a dream vacation to unwind and discover everything your Princess ship offers. Take in panoramic ocean views, join North to Alaska onboard programs, or indulge in regional flavors crafted by our chefs. From cultural demonstrations to engaging lectures, every moment brings you closer to Alaska’s wonders.
On day three, visit Ketchikan, known as Alaska’s “First City.” Ketchikan charms with colorful waterfronts and Native heritage. Explore the world’s largest collection of totem poles at Totem Heritage Center, stroll historic Creek Street, or venture into Misty Fjords National Monument for breathtaking scenery.
Accessible only by sea or air, Alaska’s capital is a gateway to glaciers and adventure. Visit the majestic Mendenhall Glacier, embark on a whale‑watching cruise, or ride the Goldbelt Tram for sweeping views of Gastineau Channel. With its vibrant waterfront and dramatic mountain backdrop, Juneau offers unforgettable experiences from dawn to dusk.
Step back into the Gold Rush era on day five in Skagway, once the bustling gateway to the Klondike. Ride the historic White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad through rugged mountain passes, or explore wooden boardwalks lined with restored saloons and shops. The town’s storied past and stunning scenery make it a highlight of your journey.
A crown jewel of Alaska cruising, Glacier Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage site of towering ice and pristine wilderness. National Park Rangers join the ship to share insights as you glide past tidewater glaciers like Margerie, where massive icebergs calve into emerald waters. Keep watch for humpback whales, sea otters and bald eagles.
Evening light bathes the icy expanse of College Fjord, home to one of the world’s largest concentrations of tidewater glaciers. Watch for dramatic calving displays and, with luck, glimpses of marine life in the still waters. It’s a serene finale to your Alaska voyage. Arrive in Whittier, at the base of the Chugach Mountains. Disembark for your journey home or continue your adventure if you are on a Princess cruisetour to get on the train to go to Denali National Park.
