Alaska Cruise tours.

 

Alaska is a land without fences. Animals outnumber people, sunlight shines at midnight and nature reigns. Life is different. This northern frontier still boasts pristine landscapes, majestic wildlife and a coastline that is one of the most enthralling waterways in the world. Beyond Alaska's fortress-like glacier walls lie scenic ports of call, treasured national parks, and abundant wildlife. And, with more than 1,400 miles north to south and 2,400 miles east to west, it's truly a land of epic proportions.

  Alaska celebrates its 50th anniversary of statehood in 2009, and seeing its many attractions with Princess is a great way to mark the occasion. Princess Cruise Lines has an exciting variety of offerings for the season to make this popular region even more attractive. Join Princess for a 2009 Alaska escape, and you’ll understand why readers of Travel Weekly magazine have named Princess Best Cruise Line in Alaska four out of the last five years.

A cruisetour is the best way to see all of Alaska, from the glaciers and inspiring mountains to the abundant wilderness and beyond.

Every Princess cruisetour includes Glacier Bay National Park and at least two nights at one or both Princess lodges at Denali National Park. These comprehensive vacations combine a 7-day Voyage of the Glaciers cruise with an in-depth land tour for the best of Alaska by land and by sea.

The Denali Experience . Princess offers two lodges at Denali — the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge and the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge .

Off the Beaten Path . To see even more of Alaska, Princess has lodges on the Kenai Peninsula and Copper River, offering more options for unique experiences and memorable moments.

4 Great Itineraries . We have eight ships sailing Alaska, from magnificent grand ships to our more smaller vessels. And you can select between four itineraries ranging from seven to 14 days visiting the Inside Passage and Gulf of Alaska’s best coastal ports.

Small Ship Cruising . Join just 670 other guests for our thrilling Alaska Connoisseur Voyages on the small, elegant Pacific Princess® — 14-days sailing roundtrip from Seattle, and visiting eight ports including unique destinations like Kodiak, Seward and Valdez.

2010 Alaska Cruisetours

For the best, most complete Alaska experience, a Princess cruisetour is just the answer. Combine a 7-day Voyage of the Glaciers cruise with four to 10 additional days on land exploring Alaska’s interior — with at least two nights at a Princess lodge at Denali National Park and stays in breathtaking destinations like Copper River, the Kenai Peninsula and more.

50% off select tours

50% reduced deposit

50% off for 3rd & 4th guests

Tour #1 and #2
These tours are perfect for those who have sailed on a 7 Day Alaska cruise before. Traveling through the Yukon and experiencing:
1. Whitehorse, Dawson City
2. 102 mile cruise on the Yukon River (The River of Gold!)
3. Fairbanks, Denali (with the 8 Hour Tundra Wilderness Tour) and Anchorage.
4. Guests also travel the entire rail route aboard the McKinley Explorer rail cars.

Tour #5
All of above plus a night in Skagway, Whitehorse and Denali! Plus an additional train ride on the White Pass and Yukon Railroad from Fraser to Car cross along beautiful Lake Bennett. This is the BEST, most comprehensive land program we offer in only 14 days! It also is the best value and best tour content.

Tour #11 and #12
My least favorite. For those who specifically are going by price and do not care about tour content. Please note that Denali overnight includes only the 3-4 hour Natural History tour.

Tour #13 and #14
Very good tour and very good value. Getting much better. However not the best, see below!

Tour #15 and #16
These are the bread and butter tours! Additional night stays in all the best places. Best Value and Best Tour Content!!!!!!

Tour #17 and #18
How do we take tour 15/16 and make it better??? Add a Kenai Fjords Cruise and overnight in Seward! The ultimate tour for those who want it all. One of my favorites!

Tour #25 and #26
The BEST tour for guests who are truly short on time. 11 Days but all the best! This tour does not visit Fairbanks, but what you get instead is better! Add an additional night in Denali AND the 8 Hour Tundra Wilderness Tour. I highly recommend this tour for guests short on time.
