Alaska's Glacier Bay is steeped in rich cultural history, primarily shaped by the Huna Tlingit people who have inhabited the region for centuries. The area, known for its dramatic glacial landscapes, was traditionally used by the Tlingit for hunting and fishing, deeply intertwined with their spiritual beliefs and practices. The bay's retreat in the late 18th century due to glacial movement forced the Tlingit to relocate, adding a poignant chapter to their history. Today, Glacier Bay is not only a hub for scientific study due to its rapidly changing environment but also a place where Tlingit heritage is honored and preserved through cultural programs and art.

Juneau, Alaska
Juneau, Alaska, is a prime destination for first-time visitors with its unique blend of stunning natural landscapes, rich history, and vibrant local culture. Nestled between the Gastineau Channel and the coastal mountains, Juneau offers easy access to breathtaking glaciers like the Mendenhall Glacier, where visitors can walk trails or kayak in iceberg-dotted waters. The city itself, accessible only by sea or air, exudes charm with its historic buildings, quaint shops, and seafood restaurants. Juneau also serves as a gateway to whale watching and dog sledding adventures, ensuring that every visitor experiences the thrill and majesty of Alaskas capital city.
Day 6
Ketchikan, Alaska
The area's history is steeped in the traditions of Alaska's indigenous Tlingit people and the thriving fishing and logging industries that shaped its development. Originally known as "Kitschk-hin," meaning "thundering wings of an eagle" in the Tlingit language, Ketchikan was a vital Tlingit settlement long before European settlers arrived. With the discovery of gold in nearby creeks, Ketchikan boomed during the late 19th century Gold Rush, attracting prospectors and entrepreneurs. Timber soon became the primary industry, and Ketchikan earned the title of the "Salmon Capital of the World" due to its bustling fish canneries. Today, Ketchikan's rich history is preserved in its historic buildings, totem poles, and vibrant cultural traditions.

Had a wonderful time exploring New Zealand north and south islands. Visited a Maori living village and learned about their culture. The country is so varied and the people very friendly. Cruising Fiordland was much like Norway
We arrived in Athens for a 7 night cruise, on arrival at the ship it look so impressive.
We have sailed with Princess on other occasions, but this ship was a monster, with 30 different places to drink or eat. It was very clean and the staff always hapoy and willing to assist.7 nights does not give you enough time to actually use all the facilities, with over 4000 guests, it never felt over crowded.
Thanks to all the crew for a fabulous cruise.
This was our very first cruise, and the Sun Princess was a wonderful ship to be on. Our room steward could not do more to help us with little requests and advice. The food in the eatery was great, and even in the main dining room we never struggled to get a table even without pre-booking.
Definitely recommend, the staff could not do enough for us
We really enjoyed our cruise, the itinerary was good and ticked off a lot of places we hadn’t visited.The ship was very nice, clean and well maintained. Food was great in both the buffet areas and in the restaurant. Entertainment also good
