Princess Cruises is expanding its range of North to Alaska experiences, ahead of its largest ever Alaska season in 2026, when eight ships will offer 180 departures.
First introduced in 2015, the North to Alaska program connects guests with local personalities, culture and food, with Princess vp entertainment John-Paul Lamb saying it’s designed to bring guests closer to the spirit, culture and natural beauty of Alaska.
“From encounters with local experts and native storytellers to immersive entertainment and scenic glacier viewing, these experiences allow our guests to connect with Alaska along every step of their journey.”
The first new experience for 2026 is The Glacier Experience: A Signature Princess Day, this including scenic cruises guided by park rangers that offer close up glacier views.
There’s Welcome to Alaska presentations designed to help guests get the most from their experience; and Après Sea: Elevated Post-Adventure Experience, which offers access to an après-ski inspired lounge with warm drinks and panoramic views.
The fourth addition is the Candlelight Concert Series: Fire & Ice, an extension of Princess’ current Candlelight Concert Series, which has performances by Alaska singer-songwriters.
The four experiences join its current offering such as the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show and Puppies in the Piazza.
These voyages will feature a speaker series and Campfire Movies Under the Stars and Stargazing Nights, while the more daring can opt for The Great Big Adventure, which challenges survivalists to navigate the rugged Alaskan wilderness in pursuit of food, shelter, and water. See more details HERE.
