Port of Vancouver, BC. Enjoy a Champagne reception and the sounds of great Irish music upon check-in. As you go onboard you will be greeted with a lineup of cabin stewards to escort you to your cabin which is only a hint about the service you will experience throughout the voyage.  

Day 2 - Monday, May 13, 2019

At sea. Enjoy all the onboard entertainment and amenities the MS Westerdam has to offer! 

Day 3 - Tuesday, May 14, 2019

Juneau, Alaska.  Juneau's most popular attraction (a good reason), the Mendenhall Glacier is a halfmile wide, with ice 300 tgo 1,800 feet deep. It provides some of the most spectacular landscapes in Alaska. Even more amazing, the glacier constantly moves and changes with the seasons - so no two visits are alike. Don't miss the view from the visitor's pavillion, which will only take some great photos, too. With a little more time, enjoy beautiful trails that get you up close to the glacier and its surrounding nature. The most rewarding is to see Nugget Falls. Imagine a very large, beautiful waterfall cascading directly into an iceberg-filled lake with a glacier in the background.

Day 4 - Wednesday, May 15, 2019

Skagway, Alaska.  Skagway was the gateway to the fold fields for the thousands who flocked to Alaska and the Yukon with the hope of striking it rich. Skagway may have boasted the shortest route to the Klondike, but it wasn't the easiest. Over 100 years ago, the White Pass route through the Coast Mountains and the shorter but steeper Chilkoot Trail were used by countless stampeders. Many a would-be miner perished on the treacherous Chilkoot Trail. The gold rush was a boon and by 1898, Skagway was Alaska's largest town with a population of about 20,000. Hotels, saloons, dance halls and gambling houses prospered. When the gold yield dwindled in 1900, so did the population as miners quickly shifted to new finds in Nome. Today, while Skagway has less then 1,000 residents, it still retains the flavor of the gold rush era.

Day 5 - Thursday, May 16, 2019

Scenic cruising Glacier Bay.  Holland America Line has been exploring the pristine waters of Glacier Bay since before it was even a national park. Today, each ship that sails into these spectacular glacial fjords has ranger naturalists who board early in the morning and offer our guests a unique glimpse into one of the largest protected wilderness areas in North America. In an unprecedented effort to document the many unique splendors of this national treasure for the guests, Holland America has teamedup with "National Park Service to produce exclusive one-on-one interviews with Glacier Bay's foremost experts on a wide range of fascinating topics. Radio personalities and hosts of our Art Tours, Paul Lasey and Elizabeth Harryman bring you inspiring insights into this land of scenic and natural wonders. They worked with the National Park's rangers, scientists and naturalists who gave generously of their time to allow you this rare insider's view into the science and wild beauty of Glacier Bay National Park. 

Day 6 - Friday, May 17, 2019

Ketchikan, Alaska.  This is a favorite port of call! Ketchikan is known as Alaska's "First City" because it is the first major community Travelers come to as they journey North. Located on an island, Ketchikan began life as an Indian fishing camp. In the early 1900's when gold was Alaska's claim to fame, timber and fishing industries were established in Ketchikan. Known as the "Salmon Capital of the World", Ketchikan is also the ancestral home of the Tligit people, who carved the world's largest collection of totem poles. Take a canoe and nature trail excursion through the rain forest or a wilderness explorations with a sumptuous crab feast you can't resist. Sightseers will be impressed with both the scenic town and its surroundings, especially Misty Fjords National Monument. 

Day 7 - Saturday, May 18, 2019

At sea. Enjoy all the onboard entertainment and amenities the MS Westerdam has to offer!  

Day 8 - Sunday, February 24, 2018

Vancouver, BC.  Disembark cruise ship and transfer to the airport for your return flight home.

In the center of the state,  Denali National Park  is blanketed in wildflowers punctuated with mountains, raging rivers and serene lakes. Denali, "The Great One," formerly known as Mt.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Alaska Cruises Insider

The sheer size of Alaska lends itself to a wide variety of terrain and travel experiences. This diversity means you need to be prepared for a lot of change while traveling.

The best time to travel to Alaska depends on your priorities. If you're interested in the Midnight Sun, the longest day of the year is June 21, when you can experience close to 20 or more hours of sunlight in some parts of the state. If you're more interested in the Alaska Northern Lights, the earlier sunset in later summer will allow more contrast and better views of this natural wonder.

No two days will be the same, and you'll need to pack your clothing to prepare for temperature changes throughout the day. Think layers: zip-up sweaters, boots, rain jackets.

Must-Sees for Your Once in a Lifetime Alaska Cruise Vacation

Dog Sledding Tours

There's nothing like an amazing adventure during an Alaskan vacation, and if you're looking for things to do then dog sledding is a bucket-list experience.

Alaska Helicopter Tours

There's nothing quite as exhilarating as a helicopter tour over Alaska's sprawling landscapes. Take your breath away as you travel above its amazing glaciers.

Alaska is not a formal place; people even wear jeans to the opera. Focus more on comfort when deciding what clothing to pack.

Cameras, binoculars, rain ponchos and jackets are useful, but add these to the souvenirs you'll be picking up and soon your bag will be too heavy to tote around. Bring along a quality day pack to make it easier to hold your necessities.

Learn a few words in Alaska's local lingo: The "Alcan" is the Alaska-Canada Highway, for example, and "fish stories" are the local version of tall tales — unreliable yarns of mythological proportions, often told by fisherman.

ALASKAN CUISINE WILD IS THE WAY 

Alaskan food focuses on locally sourced ingredients that reflect the state's rugged terrain and the vast oceans surrounding it. These nutrient-rich waters serve up some gorgeous fish and shellfish, from super-fresh salmon to huge Alaskan King Crabs that can feed a crowd, while game meats and berries from the wilderness form a perfect marriage of flavor.

SALMON IS CENTRAL

Fresh-caught wild salmon is served up at backyard BBQs and the finest restaurants. For something different, try the sweet and savory treat Indian Candy, salmon that is sweetened and smoked till hard.

SOURDOUGH WON'T LET YOU GO

Sourdough is such an important part of Alaskan culture that long-time Alaskans are actually called sourdoughs in local parlance. Try a sourdough bread bowl filled with salmon chowder for a hearty lunch.

GO WILD FOR BERRIES

Alaskan wild berries are sweet and pack a powerful punch of flavor. Whether served up in jams, candies, pies or cobblers, Alaskan blueberries, high-bush cranberries and other local wild berries are a staple when it comes to Alaskan summer eats.

RELATED PORTS

Whether you're interested in hiking through a forest, trekking to glaciers or a shopping spree downtown, the towns along Alaska's inside passage provide a variety of adventurous activities. Alaska cruise ports such as Juneau and Ketchikan are small cities with their own personalities. Anchorage is the state's largest city and a gateway to the rest of the state. Denali National Park takes you out of the city altogether, into a wilderness full of spruce forests and snow-capped mountain peaks.

Awesome Theme Cruises You Can Take in 2023

By: Author Carrie Ann Karstunen

Posted on Published: November 1, 2022  - Last updated: September 17, 2023

Have you ever wished you could cruise with people who love all the same things you do? Theme cruises make that happen!

What is a theme cruise?

Theme cruises bring together groups of like-minded strangers and create a floating community around a common interest.

You’ll find themed cruises for fans of certain bands or genres of music, sports, dancing, TV shows and movies, and hobbies and crafts. There are even clothing-optional theme cruises for naturists!

A promoter will charter either the entire cruise ship (or at least a huge block of rooms) for theme cruise guests. If your cruise’s theme has a huge following, it’s likely that the entire ship’s been chartered for the sailing. Smaller interest groups might only fill a portion of the ship’s staterooms.

If there’s something you’re passionate about, there’s a good chance that one of these specialty cruises will float your boat (pun very much intended!)

Tip: Although I always encourage my readers to use a specialized cruise travel agency (I love CruiseDirect ), for theme cruises you’ll almost always need to book directly with the promoter.

How to find the right theme cruise for you

If you’re looking for a comprehensive list of 2023 theme cruises, you’ve come to the right place! (For 2024 theme cruises, many haven’t yet been announced, but I’m working on that list—just bookmark this page and I’ll add the link here when it goes live.)

I’ve included a table of contents below where you can click right through to the category of theme cruise that you’re interested in.

You could also just search this page for the type of theme cruise you’re looking for! I’ve included lots of keywords in the “ Who is this theme cruise for ” section of each theme cruise listing. (If you’re on a desktop or laptop, just hit Control-F on a PC or Command-F on a Mac)

It’s the easiest way to find your style of theme cruise for 2023, whether you want to search for “classic rock”, “knitting” or “Star Trek”.

Or you could just browse through all of the listings for theme cruises in 2023 . You might find an amazing cruise (and a like-minded community) you didn’t realize you needed to join!

Music themed cruises

The most popular type of themed cruise is undoubtedly the music cruise . Whether the special sailing is based around a particular artist’s fan base or just a certain style of music, music-themed cruises have been in high demand for many years.

You might have the opportunity to get up-close-and-personal with some of your musical idols, enjoy exclusive performances, and meet other cruisers who are just as passionate about your favorite music and artists as you are.

There are so many 2023 music-themed cruises you can join that I’ve created a chart to make your perfect cruise easier to find! Just click on the highlighted name and it will take you to the full description:

Newest ship - star princess - 1 of 8 ships headlining 2026 alaska season.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (July 24, 2024) – Princess Cruises, the leading cruise line in Alaska, today unveiled its biggest-ever Alaska season for 2026, highlighted by the debut of the newest ship in its fleet, Star Princess. The exciting, expanded Alaska program for 2026 features eight ships, 180 departures, and 19 destinations, providing travelers with an unparalleled selection of Alaska adventures by sea, or by both land and sea.

For the first time, guests will have the opportunity to explore Alaska aboard a Sphere Class ship as Star Princess sails her first summer season in the Great Land, offering unparalleled views of glaciers and wildlife. As the second ship in the Sphere Class following Sun Princess, Star Princess launches in fall 2025 and promises an elevated cruising experience. A true engineering marvel and a global citizen, this ship features innovative architectural spectacles like The Dome, the industry's first geodesic structure, and The Sphere, a suspended glass Piazza. Additionally, it is celebrated, along with sister ship Sun Princess, as the greatest foodie destination at sea, promising to tantalize taste buds with world-class culinary offerings.

Bookings open August 1 with the "Better Than Best Price Guarantee" offering the best rates and 120% of the price difference as onboard credit if a lower rate is found before final payment. This promotion ends September 2, 2024 with full details here.

“2026 will reinforce Princess’ leadership in Alaska vacations. The deployment of the magnificent Star Princess to Alaska for the first time will offer guests unprecedented views, luxurious accommodations, and the finest food, beverages and entertainment ever seen in the Great Land. Our guests will experience Alaska like never before aboard our innovative Sphere Class ship,” said John Padgett, Princess Cruises president. “Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or a seasoned traveler, Princess is the ultimate choice for luxury and adventure, with awe-inspiring glaciers, unforgettable wildlife encounters, and the freshest seafood imaginable.”

Highlights for Alaska in 2026 include:

• Voyage of the Glaciers: Discovery Princess, Grand Princess, Coral Princess, and Island Princess will offer seven-day journeys to experience the breathtaking views of two Alaska glaciers—and Princess takes more guests to Glacier Bay National Park than any other cruise line. Can’t get enough? These itineraries are combinable for adventure-seekers, nature enjoyers and Alaska lovers to indulge in a 14-day Voyage of the Glaciers Grand Adventure.
• Inside Passage: Guests can enjoy seven- to 20-day cruises and up to four glacier-viewing experiences when they sail the Inside Passage and visit the highest-rated Alaska destinations and lesser-known gems from convenient homeports including weekend departures from Seattle ( Royal Princess and Star Princess ), San Francisco ( Ruby Princess ), Vancouver, B.C.

Guests will adventure to five of Alaska’s most breathtaking parks including Glacier Bay, Denali, Wrangell-St. Elias, Kenai Fjords National Park, and Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park in Skagway.

What is it like Cruising to Alaska in October?

by Prof. Cruise · Published February 6, 2024 · Updated February 7, 2024

Cruising to Alaska in October: Introduction and Background

Those who follow me via my blog or on social media know that I cruise to Alaska frequently, both because Alaska owns significant real estate in my heart and also because I live within walking distance of the two cruise terminals in Seattle, so I regularly take advantage of last minute Alaska cruise deals. I’ve cruised there dozens and dozens of times (including from San Francisco for my honeymoon several years before moving to Seattle and from Vancouver a handful of times) on almost every line and itinerary and throughout the season. Speaking of which, I’ve watched over the past few years as the Seattle to Alaska cruise season has gradually gotten longer, now starting in early April and extending through late October. And, let me tell you, I’m HERE FOR IT! It’s always a sad day when the last cruise ship sails away for the season. I live in a high rise apartment in downtown Seattle, so I can literally see it sailing away and have been known to shed tears while drowning my sorrows in a chocolate martini (my favorite cruise drink).

Anyway, last year I decided to hop on the very last Alaska cruise of the season in late October to experience what it’s like to cruise to Alaska so late into the fall (my prior latest season cruise was in September). I also followed closely the other October Alaska cruises, both to have an idea of what I might expect, but also for research purposes knowing I was going to publish an article about October Alaska cruising. I had a good friend onboard the cruise just prior to mine, so she provided me with a lot of detail about her experience (I ended up getting really lucky on a number of fronts with my cruise while, sadly, she had a much different experience.).

So, based on both my own experience and extensive research, here are 12 things you can expect on a cruise to Alaska in October. I’ll start with 5 advantages to cruising in October before moving on to some (possibly) problematic things to consider before you decide to book an October itinerary.

12 Things you can Expect on a Cruise to Alaska in October

1: prices will be much lower and solo supplements may be waived.

For a 10-night Alaska sailing including Glacier Bay and long stays in every port (all this to say it was a very desirable itinerary), I paid less for my cruise in October than it costs for hotel room for one night and a dinner out in Seattle. And I paid NO solo supplement. Honestly, I think I ate more than my cruise fare in ice cream alone.

Looking at current prices for 2024, a 7-night Alaska itinerary on the Encore or Bliss will run you from around $1300-$1600 per person for an inside cabin in July (that’s the cruise fare only, not including taxes and extra packages). In October the same itineraries and cabins are currently listed for $600-$700 and prices are likely to drop even lower closer to the sail date. There’s even a 9-night itinerary in October on the Jewel listed for just $497 (interior, per person)!

2: Almost no kids will be onboard

Are you one of those people who says, “I looooove kids, buuuuuuut I prefer vacationing without them? No shame, I hear you! Even though I have my own kid and cruise with him frequently, I relish my relaxing solo cruises, booked intentionally during times with few kids onboard (because the whole point of a solo cruise is to have a BREAK from kids).

So, what’s the kid situation on an Alaska cruise in October? Having grown up in Utah, the average family in my neighborhood had more children than the total under 18 population of my October Alaska cruise, and 90% of them were under five (still adorable and not running wild and painting the walls with ice cream).

3: You may see the Northern Lights

Prior to this cruise I had three remaining items on my bucket list: (1) make out with Justin in his Honda accord; (2) see the Northern Lights; (3) see penguins on ice. Number one is currently the only item remaining even though I really should have crossed it off the list twenty years ago when Honda Accords stopped being cool and Justin phoned to tell me he’s gay. I crossed number three off this January on a cruise to Antarctica. And I crossed number two off on my October cruise to Alaska!

Seeing the Northern Lights is only a real possibility on the last cruises of the season in late September and October. Be sure to download an app or join a Facebook group that tracks the aurora forecast and shares current information, so you know when you need to head outside (usually in the middle of the night) to look. Some ships will also have a sign-up at Guest Services where they will call you in the event of any activity. Be sure to also connect with the naturalist onboard your cruise ship. They’ll be on the lookout too and will share any information they have with you. Good luck! Be sure to share pics with me if you’re lucky enough to catch it!

As a bonus, there’s another fascinating natural phenomenon you’ll have a shot at seeing on an October Alaska cruise: “hair ice.” While I’d crossed hair ice off my hiking bingo card a few years prior near Seattle, it was exciting to see it again on a hike in Ketchikan during my late October cruise. The conditions required for the formation of hair ice are extremely specific: rotting wood from a broadleaf tree, the presence of a certain fungus, moist air, a temperature slightly below 32°F, and latitudes between 45°N and 55°N.

4: Ports will be far less crowded

No port visit to Skagway is complete without greeting some of the town’s many ghosts (and I mean many, it’s rumored that every building has at least one), the most famous being Lydia of the Red Onion Saloon. But normally during the peak of the cruise season, you’ll be visiting said ghosts with about 40,000 fellow cruise ship passengers. Ports, including Skagway, will be PACKED full of tourists in June, July, and August. But not in October. Upon disembarking your ship, you may find yourself saying, “man, this place is like a ghost town!” And not for the reason I stated earlier. You’ll almost feel like you have the towns all to yourself and will have a much less chaotic and more authentic Alaska experience (you’ll experience the port towns much more like the locals do in the off-season). Here’s what downtown Skagway looked like during my October visit:

And this was Juneau from the top of the tram with only ONE ship in port (normally there are at least five).

5: There will be end of season sales at local shops

Fancy some half off ice cream in Skagway where, with the windchill, it feels like it’s -15°F? You’re in luck! But seriously, many of the shops that remain open (see #7 below), will have great end-of-season sales where you can pick up souvenirs or local foods to try.

6: Many shops and restaurants will closed and fewer tours offered

However (and here’s where we’ll start getting into the potentially negative aspects of cruising to Alaska in October), many shops and restaurants will be closed in October and fewer tours will be offered. Why? Because many of them are staffed with seasonal employees who have already returned home (many back to college). I’d estimate about half of the shops and (touristy) restaurants were closed during my October sailing.

7: Weather will be a crapshoot

Weather at port in Alaska even during the peak of the cruise season can vary greatly and be unpredictable, especially over the last several years (which have trended warmer). However, it’s useful to look at average high and low temperatures and rainfall totals by port to get a sense of what you’re more likely to experience. Here’s what those look like for October:

Average Temperature and Rainfall by Alaska Port for October

As for me, I got extremely lucky! I didn’t experience a single drop of rain and skies ranged from partly cloudy to full sun. The temperature was chilly at some ports and downright cold (especially in Skagway with the wind) at others. Overall, it was way (WAY) better than I expected for that time of year and I was able to hike at every port. However, remember the friend I mentioned who was on the cruise just prior to mine? She had terrible weather, so bad that her ship had to be completely rerouted to avoid a serious storm and one port was missed entirely. See, a crapshoot!

8: Rough seas are a possibility

Just like the weather, sea conditions are also unpredictable in October. Again, I lucked out on my sailing with calm waters, but my friend experienced swells of up to 20 feet (she reported that even crew members were sick).

9: You’ll have fewer cruise lines and ships to choose from

Below you’ll find the October 2024 cruises that dock in Alaska. You’ll note that a handful of these are extended sailings onboard Oceania’s Regatta, not dedicated Alaska sailings. And ALL the others are on NCL. If you don’t like NCL, you’re out of luck for October.

10: There may be scaled back Alaska programming onboard

The most disappointing aspect of my October cruise was the lack of park rangers onboard during our day spent sailing through Glacier Bay National Park. Normally 2-4 park rangers board the ship to provide highly enriching commentary and programming, to stamp your national park passport book, and to offer educational resources and souvenir merchandise. By the time our cruise ship arrived in late October, their season was already over. I’d been to Glacier Bay many times before, but I felt really bad for those who hadn’t (including a fellow cruiser and national park aficionado I met hiking who booked this itinerary specifically to get his national park passport stamped).

11: You’ll experience less daylight

During my October sailing, it was fully light from around 7:45am until around 5:30pm. Great if you want to sleep in a bit and still catch a sunrise or watch the sunset on a nice pre-dinner walk around the promenade deck (which I did almost every day). But I also missed out on the incredible views arriving to or departing from most ports, because it was completely dark (that may not be as much of an issue depending on your particular itinerary – many of the NCL itineraries depart from Alaska ports quite early).

12: Fewer opportunities for wildlife viewing

Hoping to see whales on your cruise to Alaska? An Alaska cruise is one of the best places to see humpback whales as over 500 of them (the type you’re most likely to see on an Alaskan cruise) begin arriving back in southeast Alaska, to feed in the rich waters of the inside passage, from their winter homes in Mexico, Hawaii, and Asia around April and stay through most of the cruise season. However, they start making their way back to warmer waters from late September to early October, so you’ll see far fewer whales on an October cruise (you may still see some though – I did).

What about salmon and bears? The best time to see salmon spawning on an Alaskan cruise is typically between mid-July and mid-September.  However, the unusual heat over the past few seasons moved that timeline up some. In October you’ll smell salmon (corpses, rotting along river banks), but the salmon run will be long over. It should also come as no surprise that the best time to see bears at port in Alaska coincides with the salmon run as they feed on salmon near the mouths of streams and rivers. It’s possible you’ll still see them in October (as evidenced by the sign I saw displayed on the forest trail in Icy Strait Point about 10 feet from my cruise ship in October), but far less likely.

Would I Cruise to Alaska in October Again?

I cruise to Alaska so many times every year that I’ve started telling people I summer there. Well, after the experience I had on my first October cruise, I might starting “fall-ing” there too (I’m already watching prices for the Norwegian Jewel’s October Alaska itineraries and will jump on one when they drop low enough)! However, if Alaska is a one-time bucket list itinerary for you, I’d avoid October (you might get lucky like I did, but the odds are against it). And, if I’m being totally candid, I’d avoid NCL. If I only had one shot at Alaska, I’d go in July (maybe August) on either Holland America or Princess on an itinerary that includes Glacier Bay. I love NCL and have cruised more days on the line than any other (including many cruises to Alaska on the Bliss, Encore, Spirit, and Sun), but the line remains my least favorite for Alaska (terrible docking location in Ketchikan, short times at port for many itineraries, and no special Alaska-themed meals or beverages onboard).

Who should cruise to Alaska in October? I think these October cruises are perfect for someone (like me) located on the West Coast looking for a cheap, and I mean CHEAP, cruise in October with low expectations regarding the weather and ports. If that sounds like you, maybe I’ll catch you onboard (because I plan on doing it every year from now on)! And with that…

Class Dismissed!

We were on the same cruise as the Professor and totally agree with everything she said.

Last time to Alaska was about 15 years ago and being old, could not remember anything about that trip except it was a cruise. One of the big draws for us was the price, much less than mid season prices, so we could afford a balcony cabin and very few children.

The one tip i would add is dress warm and in layers. Living in Phoenix where we define “cold” as anything under 70 and “I can’t feel my toes anymore” as temperatures under 50, we were not completely equipped for the temperatures.

Giant new cruise ship will be the biggest ever to sail Alaska

Megaship fans are about to have a major new option for an Alaska cruise .

Princess Cruises on Wednesday announced that its next giant new ship, the 4,300-passenger Star Princess, will spend its first summer sailing to Alaska out of Seattle.

Scheduled to debut in October 2025, the vessel will begin Alaska sailings in May of 2026, the line said.

For more cruise news, guides and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

Star Princess, notably, will be the biggest cruise ship ever to sail to Alaska.

At around 178,000 gross tons, it will be about 5% bigger than the current size leader in the Alaska market, Norwegian Cruise Line 's Norwegian Encore . That ship measures 169,116 gross tons.

The next-biggest ships in the Alaska market are Royal Caribbean 's Ovation of the Seas and Quantum of the Seas, each of which measures 168,666 gross tons.

All three of the vessels sail to Alaska from Seattle, which is traditionally home to the biggest cruise ships sailing to Alaska.

Two other vessels that are almost as large, Norwegian's 168,028-ton Norwegian Bliss and 167,725-ton Norwegian Joy, will also sail to Alaska out of Seattle in 2026.

Thus, the arrival of Star Princess in Seattle in 2026 will set up a six-way "battle of the megaships" out of Seattle for the summer of 2026.

When it launches, Star Princess will be the second vessel in Princess' long-awaited new Sphere Class of ships. Under development for more than six years, the Sphere Class includes the just-unveiled Sun Princess .

The Sphere Class ships are significantly bigger than previous Princess ships and offer several notable new-for-the-line features, including suites that come with exclusive access to a private restaurant, a lounge and a sundeck.

Additionally, the Sphere Class ships have been designed with an innovative new type of "cabana cabin" along their extra-wide 10th deck that comes with access to a private deck area. Plus, the top decks of the ships have some unusual-for-Princess sizzle with the addition of a glass-dome-topped pool area that transforms into a nightspot after the sun goes down.

Princess on Wednesday announced that Star Princess would be one of eight ships it sends to Alaska for the summer of 2026 — its biggest Alaska deployment ever.

Princess has long been the leader in Alaska cruises along with its sister company, Holland America.

The line on Wednesday didn't reveal the specific itinerary that Star Princess would sail in Alaska, but a spokesperson told TPG the itineraries would be seven-night sailings. The itineraries will go live and be available to book on Princess's website Aug. 1.
