ALASKA CRUISE
Northbound Journey from Vancouver - Anchorage
July 25 - August 01, 2026 - 8 Days
8 Days - Cruise Only
This 7-night Alaska cruise begins in Vancouver and sails through some of Alaska’s most breathtaking coastal scenery, with visits to Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, College Fjord, and Whittier.
Day 01 - Saturday, July 25, 2026: VANCOUVER (L/D)
Canada's third-largest city, Vancouver is a cosmopolitan place with a European feel and a personality all its own. It's a community with a rich ethnic mix - including the second-largest Chinatown in North America - and stunningly beautiful parks. Board the ship this afternoon and enjoy the amenties at your leisure before a 4:00pm sail-away.
Day 02 - Sunday, July 26, 2026: DAY AT SEA (B/L/D)
The day is yours to explore the ship, rest and relax or take part in the many activities aboard.
Day 03 - Monday, July 27, 2026: KETCHIKAN, ALASKA (B/L/D) 6:00am - 2:00pm
Ketchikan is known as Alaska's "First City" because it's the first major community travelers come to as they journey north. Located on an island, Ketchikan began life as an Indian fishing camp. The name Ketchikan comes from a Tlingit phrase that means "eagle with spread-out wings," a reference to a waterfall near town. In the early 1900s, when gold was Alaska's claim to fame, fishing and timber industries were established in Ketchikan. The growth of these industries helped make this Inside Passage port Alaska's fourth-largest city.
Day 04: Tuesday, July 28, 2026: JUNEAU, ALASKA (B/L/D) 7:00am - 8:30pm
In 1880, it was slow going for Joe Juneau and Richard Harris as they searched for gold with the help of Native guides. After climbing mountains, forging streams and facing countless difficulties, they found nuggets "as large as beans." From their discovery came three of the largest gold mines in the world. By the end of World War II, more than $150 million in gold had been mined. Eventually the mines closed, but the town Joe Juneau founded became the capital of Alaska and the business of gold was replaced by the business of government. Some 30,000 people live in Juneau. Its total area makes it one of the biggest towns, in size, in the world.
Day 05: Wednesday, July 29, 2026: SKAGWAY, ALASKA (B/L/D) 7:00am - 8:30pm
Skagway was the gateway to the gold fields for the thousands who flocked to Alaska and the Yukon with the hope of striking it rich. Skagway may have boasted the shortest route to the Klondike, but it wasn't the easiest. Over 100 years ago, the White Pass route through the Coast Mountains and the shorter but steeper Chilkoot Trail were used by countless stampeders. Many a would-be miner perished on the treacherous Chilkoot Trail. The gold rush was a boon and by 1898, Skagway was Alaska's largest town with a population of about 20,000. Hotels, saloons, dance halls and gambling houses prospered. But when the gold yield dwindled in 1900, so did the population as miners quickly shifted to new finds in Nome. Today, Skagway has less than 1,000 residents. It still retains the flavor of the gold rush era.
Day 06: Thursday, July 30, 2026: GLACIER BAY NATIONAL PARK (SCENIC CRUISING) (B/L/D)
Princess is one of a select few cruise lines permitted to cruise the pristine waters of Glacier Bay, the highlight of our 7-day Voyage of the Glaciers cruise. Just west of Juneau, this breathtaking national park and preserve boasts some of the world's most spectacular tidewater glaciers, such as Margerie Glacier, which often drops colossal chunks of ice into the sea. Not surprisingly, Glacier Bay National Park and its epic ice giants are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising Alaska's magnificent park system. During your scenic cruise, friendly Park Rangers will join the ship to share their knowledge of this amazing place.
Day 07: Friday, July 31, 2026: COLLEGE FJORD (SCENIC CRUISING) (B/L/D)
Discovered in the northwest corner of Prince William Sound during an 1899 research expedition, spectacular College Fjord and its glaciers were named after prestigious east coast schools by the college professors who first laid eyes upon their majesty. Stretching for miles, these massive rivers of ice tumble down from mountains and through valleys, dipping into the pristine waters of the fjord. There you'll have a chance to watch the awe-inspiring process of glaciers calving, or dropping enormous pillars of ice into the sea, as they crack and land with a thunderous splash – a once-in-a-lifetime experience not to be missed. College Fjord not only boasts the world's largest collection of tidewater glaciers, but it features magnificent snowcapped mountains as far as the eyes can see. Plus, during the summer, it's not unheard of to catch a glimpse of one of the area's 40-ton humpback whales feeding in the waters of the fjord. It's a magical wonderland of epic proportions, so breathtaking you won't want to blink.
Day 08: Saturday, August 01, 2026: ANCHORAGE, ALASKA (B)
Whittier, approximately 65 miles southeast of Anchorage, lies nestled at the base of the Chugach Mountains bordering Passage Canal. Transfer to the airport or extend your stay in Alaska!
