Princess Cruises has confirmed its 2022 Alaska season.
The cruise line announced in an official statement that it will also resume its summer and fall Canada & New Zealand programme and guest experiences following the reopening of Canadian ports.
Featuring six ships including Discovery Princess, the 2022 programme will include 12 unique itineraries, 140 departures and five glacier-viewing experiences with visits to the Southeast Alaska towns of Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan.
Princess sails to and from Vancouver on its popular ‘Voyage of the Glaciers’ seven-night cruises to and from Whittier, Alaska.
More than 20 cruise tours include visits to the Denali National Park and Princess Wilderness Lodges as well as the Voyage of the Glaciers cruise.
Alaska cruises sailing from Seattle and San Francisco visit Victoria, Canada, along with various ports in Alaska towns dependent upon itinerary.
“The reopening of Canadian ports to the cruise industry is a bold and important move that significantly expands the array of travel opportunities available to guests while boosting the economies of the Canadian and Alaska destinations we visit by generating important revenue and job opportunities,” said John Padgett, President, Princess Cruises.
“We know firsthand how cherished these voyages are to both guests and those destinations following our shortened but successful return to Alaska in 2021 that was made possible with the passing of the Alaska Tourism Restoration Act.”
The first Princess cruise ship to visit Canada is Caribbean Princess, sailing on a four-day Pacific Coastal voyage, with a scheduled port stop in Victoria on 6 April, followed by Vancouver on 7 April.
For the May through September 2022 season, six Princess Cruises ships will sail from four west coast homeports – Seattle, Vancouver, B.C., Anchorage (Whittier) and San Francisco.
Princess continues to enhance its North to Alaska programme, bringing local Alaskans, culture, and fresh seafood onboard and ashore to immerse guests in all things Alaska.
On Canada and New England voyages, Princess sails from Quebec and New York visiting popular Canadian ports, including Halifax, Saint John (for the Bay of Fundy), Sydney (Cape Breton Island) and Charlottetown (Prince Edward Island).
The 2022 season runs from July through October and features 16 departures and six unique itineraries on Enchanted Princess and Caribbean Princess.
Sky Princess will also sail a 25-night Canada and New England itinerary roundtrip to Southampton. Cruise departs 24 September 2022. Fares start from £2,499pp.
