Alaska Cruise on the Royal Princess

Sail to Alaska: Roundtrip from Seattle

Princess has been sailing Alaska longer than any other cruise line — over 50 years now — and it shows. They don't just visit Alaska, they helped write the modern history of Alaska cruising, from building relationships with Glacier Bay National Park rangers to running their own wilderness lodges and rail cars inland. That kind of depth means better access, better narration, and a crew that genuinely knows this coastline.

The ports along the way:

Alaska's Inside Passage is a study in scale — glaciers calving into the sea, mountains rising straight from the water, and small towns that still feel like frontier outposts.

Juneau, tucked beneath the Mendenhall Glacier, and Skagway, with its wooden boardwalks straight out of the Gold Rush, carry the history of a state built by prospectors and pioneers.

A full day cruising Glacier Bay National Park brings you face to face with ice thousands of years in the making, while Ketchikan's totem poles and salmon-choked streams speak to the Tlingit heritage that runs far deeper than any gold rush. And after all that wilderness, a quick stop in Victoria, BC.

Inside passage

The Inside Passage is one of the most sheltered, scenic stretches of coastline anywhere in the world.

A maze of forested islands and narrow channels running between Seattle and the Alaska panhandle. Ships glide through calm, glassy water for most of the route, with mountains rising straight up from the shoreline and the occasional whale or bald eagle putting in an appearance along the way.

Ketchikan

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.

Skagway

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.

Glacier Bay National Park

Add in a full day cruising Glacier Bay National Park, and you get a week that moves from wilderness to Gold Rush history to small-town Alaska charm, all without ever leaving the water.

Glacier Bay

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.

PArk Ranger guides

During your scenic cruise, friendly Park Rangers will join the ship to share their knowledge of this amazing place and host a fun Junior Ranger program for kids.

They may even be able to help you identify Glacier Bay's abundant wildlife, including humpback whales, sea otters, porpoises, harbor seals, black bears, mountain goats, bald eagles and large colonies of seabirds.
