Alaska – Where Princess Truly Shines

While Princess Cruises can take you just about anywhere your heart desires – from centuries-old European cities to tropical locales to frozen tundras – there is one destination where they shine brighter than nearly any other major cruise line: Alaska. Princess is one of the select few lines with permission to sail into Glacier Bay National Park, a marine and terrestrial wilderness refuge of global significance home to the world’s largest concentration of tidewater glaciers. Their exclusive Discovery at SEA partnership with Discovery and Animal Planet adds another layer, with onboard naturalists and optional land tours to Denali National Park through Princess Lodges. Named one of Food & Wine Magazine’s picks for “Best Cruises For Food Lovers,” the Dine My Way program gives you complete flexibility over when, where, and with whom you dine. And MedallionClass technology transforms your entire voyage into something genuinely seamless and personalized.

Entertainment onboard Princess is genuinely impressive. Experience all-new musicals produced by Stephen Schwartz, the Grammy and Academy Award-winning composer of Wicked and Pippin. Watch a remarkable world come to life with life-size puppetry from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. Relive the roots of jazz each evening with Princess’s live musicians, or catch Movies Under the Stars on the poolside big screen. Become mesmerized by renowned illusionists and magicians. Laugh with top headliner comedians. And if you’re feeling lucky, try your hand at the onboard “Deal or No Deal” game show, where guests have won complimentary cruises. The entertainment program alone makes Princess one of the most compelling choices in the premium category.

Discover the World with a Cruise Line That Brings Destinations to Life

Of all the major cruise lines, Princess arguably has the strongest focus on destination immersion. With over 55 years of experience and more than 330 destinations worldwide, they don’t just take you there – they help you truly experience what makes each port extraordinary. Through their groundbreaking Discovery at SEA partnership with Discovery and Animal Planet, you’ll learn the stories behind the places you visit from regional residents, naturalists, and experts who know these destinations intimately. Onboard programming inspired by popular shows like MythBusters and Shark Week brings learning to life, while the Science Channel offers stargazing experiences from the top deck.

Frequently Asked Questions About Princess Cruises

Princess stands out for several reasons. Their MedallionClass technology creates one of the most seamless and personalized cruise experiences at sea – from contactless boarding to on-demand delivery anywhere on the ship. Their Discovery at SEA partnership with Discovery and Animal Planet delivers destination immersion that goes far beyond typical cruise programming, with expert naturalists, hands-on activities, and destination-focused storytelling woven into every sailing. Princess is also one of the select few lines permitted to sail into Glacier Bay National Park, backed by decades of Alaska expertise. The Dine My Way program offers genuine dining flexibility rarely matched in this category. And with a fleet that balances large-ship amenities with thoughtful design, Princess appeals to couples, families, and multi-generational groups looking for a premium experience without the stuffiness.

Princess visits destinations across every major cruising region, spanning the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Alaska, Northern Europe (including the British Isles, Scandinavia, and Iceland), Asia, Australia and New Zealand, South America, the Panama Canal, Hawaii, Tahiti, and transoceanic crossings. The line is particularly renowned for its Alaska voyages, with exclusive permission to sail into Glacier Bay National Park. Princess also offers extended itineraries featuring longer port stays and overnight calls, giving you the time to truly connect with each destination rather than simply passing through.

Princess cruise fares now include the Princess Plus package on most sailings, which covers the Plus Beverage Package (drinks up to $15), Wi-Fi for one device per guest, and crew gratuities. Beyond that, your fare includes ship accommodations, a variety of dining options across multiple venues, most onboard entertainment (musicals, comedy shows, Movies Under the Stars, live music), access to pools and recreational facilities, and the full MedallionClass technology experience. For guests who want more, the Princess Premier upgrade adds the Premier Beverage Package, Wi-Fi for four devices, specialty dining, a photo package, and Princess Prizes entry.

Princess operates a modern fleet ranging from mid-size to large vessels, each designed to balance an intimate atmosphere with a full complement of world-class amenities. Newer ships like the Sun Princess introduce the Sphere Class with stunning design and expanded venue options. Across the fleet, you will find the signature Princess Luxury Bed, Movies Under the Stars poolside screens, multiple pools and hot tubs, spa and fitness facilities, and a variety of lounges and bars. Select ships also feature The Reserve – an exclusive suite-class experience with private dining, a dedicated sundeck, and personalized concierge service that appeals to guests seeking a more elevated voyage.

It depends on your itinerary. For closed-loop voyages (cruises that depart from and return to the same U.S. port), U.S. citizens can technically travel with a government-issued photo ID and a certified birth certificate. However, we strongly recommend carrying a valid passport for all Princess cruises. If an emergency requires you to leave the ship at a foreign port or fly home from abroad, a passport is essential. For open-jaw itineraries and international voyages, a passport is required. We will advise you on the specific documentation needed for your chosen sailing when we plan your voyage together.

Princess was named one of Food & Wine Magazine’s picks for “Best Cruises For Food Lovers,” and the dining experience lives up to that recognition. With Dine My Way, you have complete flexibility – choose when, where, and with whom you eat without being locked into fixed dining times or table assignments. Options range from the elegant main dining room and specialty restaurants to casual venues and room service. The Ocean Now feature lets you order food and beverages delivered directly to you anywhere on the ship. Specialty dining options include steakhouses, Italian cuisine, and seafood venues, with menus that evolve based on the destinations you’re visiting.

Princess offers extensive enrichment through their Discovery at SEA partnership. Onboard programming includes expert naturalists and regional storytellers, hands-on activities, stargazing experiences presented by the Science Channel, and destination-focused lectures that bring each port to life before you even step ashore. On Alaska sailings, you might meet sled dog puppies or learn about glaciology from resident experts. Evening entertainment doubles as enrichment with original musicals, live jazz, and cultural performances that complement the day’s discoveries.

Yes. Princess ships are designed with accessibility as a priority. Fully accessible staterooms are available across multiple categories, and ships feature elevators, wide corridors, and accessible public areas. The MedallionClass technology is especially helpful – it enables on-demand food and beverage delivery to wherever you are on the ship, reducing the need to navigate to dining venues. We recommend discussing specific mobility needs with us when planning your voyage so we can match you with the best ship, stateroom location, and itinerary for your comfort.

Princess Cruises maintains a relaxed yet polished dress code. During the day, resort casual attire is perfectly appropriate – think poolside comfort and easy exploration wear. Evenings are smart casual in most dining venues, with collared shirts and slacks for men and sundresses or similar for women. On formal nights (typically one or two per voyage depending on length), the main dining room invites cocktail attire or formal wear, though you can always opt for the buffet or casual dining venues if you prefer a more laid-back evening. It strikes a nice balance between elegance and ease.

We recommend booking your Princess cruise 9-12 months in advance for the most sought-after itineraries – particularly Alaska sailings (which include the coveted Glacier Bay access), holiday voyages, and peak-season Mediterranean departures. Princess offers a wide range of stateroom categories, and the most desirable options like Mini-Suites, Suites, and The Reserve sell out well ahead of departure. Booking early also gives you the best selection of dining times and shore excursions. As your dedicated cruise advisor, we can monitor pricing and availability to ensure you secure the ideal stateroom at the best possible value.
