Princess Cruises will open sales for its 2028 Alaska season on 11 August, offering 185 departures across 14 itineraries on eight ships, including the line’s newest vessel, Star Princess.
The season will have eight ships: Star Princess, Discovery Princess, Emerald Princess, Royal Princess, Coral Princess, Crown Princess, Island Princess and Ruby Princess.
“Alaska is one of the world’s most awe-inspiring destinations, and Princess has spent nearly 60 years helping guests experience it in a way few others can,” Princess Cruises chief commercial officer Jim Berra said. “Our 2028 season brings together glacier-filled voyages, unforgettable wildlife and cultural experiences, Princess Wilderness Lodges and Rail, along with seamless cruisetours that take guests deeper into the Great Land – creating a complete Alaska vacation.”
2028 season highlights
- Departures from Seattle, Vancouver, Anchorage (Whittier), San Francisco and Los Angeles
- Calls at 16 destinations, including Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway
- Scenic cruising through four glacier regions: Glacier Bay National Park, Hubbard Glacier, College Fjord, and Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier

Travellers seeking a more convenient option can choose roundtrip Inside Passage voyages departing Seattle, Vancouver, San Francisco or Los Angeles. Princess positions these sailings as an approachable entry point for first-time Alaska visitors wanting to experience the region’s glaciers, wildlife and coastal communities.

Princess’s wilderness lodges, including Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge and Mt McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge, give guests the chance to spot Denali, North America’s tallest mountain, alongside wildlife viewing and outdoor activities.
