Princess, the leading cruise line in Alaska, has announced its most comprehensive Alaskan cruise and land tour season ever for 2027. With nearly 60 years of experience sailing the state's breathtaking landscapes, Princess will deploy a fleet of eight elegant ships and offer stays at five exclusive lodges nestled in the wilderness, providing a truly unforgettable journey. The cruise line is reinforcing its commitment to immersive travel in the region, with more sailings, more glacier-facing experiences, and more ways to explore the Great North than ever before.
The Star Princess, returning to Alaska for its second year, will be the first ship of the new Sphere class to sail these waters. It will headline the season with 7-day Inside Passage cruises from Seattle, joining a schedule that includes 187 sailings on 17 unique itineraries from five homeports: Seattle, Vancouver (Canada), Anchorage (Whittier), San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
“Few places captivate like Alaska: its beauty, its people, and its capacity for wonder,” said Terry Thornton, Chief Commercial Officer of Princess. “That’s why our team puts so much effort into every detail this season. In 2027, we’ve designed experiences that bring our guests even closer to the soul of the Great North: closer to glaciers, wildlife, and local culture and communities, both onboard and ashore, as only Princess can offer.”
