Princess Cruises is expanding its Alaska cruise offerings with more shore excursions. The new itineraries give guests more opportunities to discover stunning national parks, including Glacier Bay, Denali, Wrangell-St. Elias, Kenai Fjords, and Katmai.
Following the successful launch of its 15-night expedition tour of national parks in 2024, Princess will offer new variations visiting three to five national parks. These tours combine the seven-day Voyage of the Glaciers with scenic train journeys and several days ashore, with stays at four Princess-owned wilderness lodges.
“There’s no better way to experience the breathtaking vastness of Alaska than by combining the luxury of a cruise with an immersive land-based experience. Our expanded national park tours in 2025 and 2026 offer guests a variety of exciting options that will elevate their vacation experience,” said Terry Thornton, Chief Commercial Officer of Princess Cruises. “Alaska is a land of towering glaciers, majestic peaks, abundant wildlife, and stunning beauty that stretches as far as the eye can see. With our thoughtfully designed tours, we take guests right to the doorstep of some of the world’s most iconic national parks, allowing them to explore and immerse themselves in the natural splendor that makes this destination truly unique.”.
