With nearly 60 years of expertise sailing the landscapes of Alaska, Princess will deploy a fleet of eight elegant ships and offer stays at five signature wilderness lodges.
Princess remains committed to immersive travel in the region – offering more sailings, more glacier-viewing experiences, and more ways to explore the Great Land than ever before. The 2027 Alaska season opens for sale August 12, 2025.
Returning for her second season in Alaska, Star Princess represents the line’s next-generation Sphere Class ship and the first of its kind to sail in Alaska.
Star Princess headlines the season with seven-night Inside Passage cruises roundtrip from Seattle, joining a robust lineup of 187 departures across 17 unique itineraries from five homeports: Seattle, Vancouver (B.C.), Anchorage (Whittier), San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
Terry Thornton, Chief Commercial Officer, Princess Cruises, said:
“Few places captivate like Alaska – its beauty, its people and its sense of wonder. 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.”
