Princess Cruises begins 50th Alaska season

Princess Cruises 50th year sailing in Alaska began this weekend with the arrival of Ruby Princess into Ketchikan and Juneau. This summer, seven Princess Cruises ships will sail to Alaska with the inaugural season of Royal Princess beginning on 11 May.

New programs will be available onboard all Princess Cruises ships sailing in Alaska for the upcoming May through September season, marking the cruise line’s largest deployment ever. Royal Princess debut marks the first time a Princess MedallionClass ship will be sailing in Alaska.

“This season will be the best one yet”

“We’ve hosted more guests in Alaska than any other cruise line – more than 5 million over the last 50 years, and this season will be the best one yet,” said Lisa Syme, Princess Cruises, vice president marketing. “With some sailings still available, think about spending summer vacation experiencing the awe-inspiring beauty of the Great Land with its glaciers and wildlife, create lifelong vacation memories.”
