Princess Cruises is expanding its 2027 Alaska season by deploying eight ships, including Sphere-class vessel Star Princess, in the region. The cruise line will sail 17 itineraries departing from five homeports, including Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Whittier in USA, and Vancouver in Canada.
Returning for a second season in Alaska, Star Princess will sail seven-day ‘Inside Passage’ roundtrips from Seattle, where Royal Princess will also offer seven-day voyages.
Ruby Princess will sail 10-day ‘Inside Passage’ cruises, with visits to Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier, departing from San Francisco, while Emerald Princess will operate two 16-day ‘Inside Passage’ roundtrips from Los Angeles.
The cruise line will call at Glacier Bay National Park 85 times during the 2027 season, including as part of the seven-day voyages offered by Island Princess, which will depart from Vancouver. Coral Princess, Crown Princess and Discovery Princess will sail six, seven, eight and nine-day ‘Inside Passage’ itineraries from Vancouver, with visits to Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier.
Crown Princess, Discovery Princess, Royal Princess and Star Princess will also offer nine and 10-day ‘Inside Passage’ voyages.
“Few places captivate like Alaska – its beauty, its people and its sense of wonder,” said Terry Thornton, chief commercial officer at Princess Cruises. “That's why our team puts so much heart into every detail of our Alaska Season. For 2027, we've designed experiences to bring guests closer to the soul of the Great Land – closer to glaciers, closer to wildlife, and closer to local culture and communities both onboard and ashore – all in a way only Princess can deliver.”
