Credited with introducing millions of Americans to the concept of a modern cruise holiday, Princess Cruises is still innovating to this day.
Sporting a fleet of 17 ships with capacities ranging from 2,000 to 4,300 passengers, the line is best known for its Alaskan cruises, but travels to destinations the world over.
With an emphasis on destination leadership and local expertise, Princess is an excellent choice for the discerning traveller seeking to sail in comfort.
Home to 3.3 million acres of rugged coastal mountains, ancient glaciers, lush forests and mighty fjords, the mesmerising Glacier Bay is the very heart of the Alaskan countryside. A Unesco World Heritage Site, cruise passengers can take their pick of 1,045 glaciers that cover 27 per cent of the park area, seven of which are tidal water glaciers that calve ice. Glacier Bay is also home to abundant wildlife, from orcas, sea lions and seals in the crystal-clear waters to mountain goats on the cliffs and eagles spearing high above in the sky. From the eerie sound of 100-ton iceberg calves crashing into the sea to the spectacular scenery enveloping you, cruising to Glacier Bay is a truly multi-sensory experience.
At 76 miles long and 1,200 feet deep, Hubbard Glacier, situated off the coast of Yakutat, is the largest tidewater glacier in North America. This glorious and massive mount of ice has been nicknamed the ‘galloping glacier’ because of how rapidly its advancing towards the Gulf of Alaska through Disenchantment Bay. It calves ice several times an hour, resulting in chunks of ice as tall as 10-storey buildings crashing into the sea – a truly awe-inspiring sight that the local Tlingit aptly call ‘white thunder’. As well as witnessing extraordinary icy landscapes, cruise passengers sailing on an Alaska cruise to Hubbard Glacier will also discover amazing wildlife, residing in the waters of Disenchantment Bay.
