Princess Cruises announced its largest Alaska season for 2027. Operating eight ships and five wilderness lodges, it offers more sailings, glacier views, and exploration options. Booking opens August 12, 2025.
“Few places captivate like Alaska – its beauty, its people and its sense of wonder,” said Terry Thornton, Chief Commercial Officer, Princess Cruises. “That’s why our team puts so much heart into every detail of our Alaska Season. For 2027, we’ve designed experiences to bring guests closer to the soul of the Great Land – closer to glaciers, closer to wildlife, and closer to local culture and communities both onboard and ashore – all in a way only Princess can deliver.”
