Princess Cruises is expanding its renowned cruisetours in Alaska. As a destination bucket list, cruisers will enjoy the land and sea itineraries throughout the Last Frontier State’s national parks including Glacier Bay, Denali, Wrangell-St. Elias, Kenai Fjords and Katmai.
Princess Cruises successfully launched a 15-night National Parks Expedition cruisetour in 2024 and is expanding on that success in 2025 and 2026. The new cruisetours will visit between three and five national parks combined with the award-winning “Voyage of the Glaciers” seven-day cruise.
“There’s no better way to experience the breathtaking expanse of Alaska than by combining the luxury of a cruise with an immersive journey on land. Our expanded National Parks 2025 and 2026 cruisetours offer guests an array of exciting options that elevate their vacation experience,” said Terry Thornton, Princess Cruises Chief Commercial Officer. “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 seamlessly crafted cruisetours, guests are brought directly to the doorsteps of some of the world’s most iconic national parks, allowing them to explore and soak in the awe-inspiring natural splendor that makes this destination truly unique.”
