Princess Cruises announced it will deploy eight ships and offer stays at five signature wilderness lodges during the 2027 Alaska cruise and cruisetour season.
“Few places captivate like Alaska – its beauty, its people and its sense of wonder,” said Terry Thornton, Chief Commercial Officer, Princess Cruises, in a statement. “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.”
Next-generation Sphere Class ship and the first of its kind to sail to Alaska, the revamped Star Princess will return for its second season with seven-day Inside Passage cruises from Seattle.
