Princess Cruises Expands Alaska Cruisetours In 2025 & 2026

As the leading cruise line in Alaska, Princess Cruises is expanding its renowned range of cruisetours across the region in 2025 and 2026.

These exciting new Alaska itineraries will give Princess guests the opportunity to discover awe-inspiring national parks, including Glacier Bay, Denali, Wrangell St. Elias, Kenai Fjords, and Katmai.

After the recent success of the cruise line's 15-night National Parks Expedition cruisetour in 2024, Princess Cruises is offering new variations, visiting three to five national parks throughout the trip. These sailings will combine Princess' award-winning "Voyage of the Glaciers" seven-day cruise with scenic rail travel, and multiple days on land- featuring stays at four Princess-owned wilderness lodges.

"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.

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 splendour that makes this destination truly unique."

- Terry Thornton, Princess Cruises Chief Commercial Officer
