Cruise Itinerary

Departs: 4:00 PM

Vancouver is the ideal home port to begin or end an Alaskan adventure. Blessed with stunning vistas and exciting activities, Vancouver offers the perfect blend of urban and natural experiences. Vancouver is a must for any cruise itinerary, and because it's a compact, walkable city right on the edge of nature, adding on just a couple of extra days to explore will give you an authentic taste of what makes this place so attractive to visitors.

Located in the heart of Vancouver’s waterfront, 'Canada Place' (cruise terminal) can service up to three luxury cruise ships at any given time.

Even if you’re not sailing to Naples (this time), you can still enjoy one of their greatest contributions to the culinary world. Alfredo’s / Gigi’s Pizzeria serves up certified authentic Neapolitan pizza made to order from scratch in a cheery restaurant named after our very own executive chef and inspired by the colors and landscapes of the Amalfi coast.

Arrives: 10:00 AM Departs: 6:00 PM

Sitka is nestled on the west side of Baranof Island. As the east is covered with snowcapped mountains and the west is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, recreational fishing and hiking have become what Sitka is most famous for. As well as their historical landmarks, picturesque views and authentic dining experiences.

Top Things to Do in Sitka:

  • visit Sitka Totem Park, home to authentic Tlingit and Haida totem poles nestled in a rainforest of giant Sitka spruce trees 
  • hike through the Starrigavan with plenty of bird and wildlife viewing opportunities
  • explore Sitka via kayak 

Arrives: 8:00 AM Departs: 9:00 PM

Juno, commonly known as Juneau, is the capital city of Alaska. Only accessible by sea or air, Juneau's history, culture, and topography have resulted in many interesting activities for visitors to enjoy, all in the heart of Alaska's majestic mountains, rivers, glaciers, and forests.

Top Things to Do in and around Juneau:

  • dog sledding
  • explore the gorgeous Mendenhall Glacier
  • whale watching
  • Alaskan Halibut fishing

Arrives: 7:00 AM Departs: 8:30 PM

Skagway was Alaska's largest town with a population of about 20,000 during the gold rush in 1898. Hotels, saloons, dance halls and gambling houses prospered. But when the gold dwindled, so did the population.

Today, Skagway has less than 1,000 residents and it still retains the flavor of the gold rush era.

Top Things to Do in and around Skagway:

  • steam train from Skagway aboard the "Scenic Railway of the World"
  • excursion to the Klondike Summit
  • gold panning & dog sledding

Arrives: 7:00 AM Departs: 12:00 PM

Endicott Arm, a narrow fjord 80km/50mi southeast of Juneau, sits within the Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness area and spans over 48km/30mi in length, with one-fifth of it draped in ice.

Witness the grandeur of tidewater glaciers, including the Dawes Glacier, at the fjord's head, where colossal ice chunks calve into the waters during the summer. Ships gracefully navigate this glacial wonderland, surrounded by icebergs of various sizes.

Protected by the Tongass National Forest, Endicott Arm shelters diverse wildlife, from bears and deer to seals and seabirds. Glide through the fjord, encountering lush forests, cascading waterfalls, and snow-capped mountains, offering an immersive snapshot of Alaska's untamed beauty.

Arrives: 8:00 AM Departs: 5:00 PM

Visitors to Ketchikan will be intrigued by its rich Native heritage, which includes the world's oldest collection of totem poles at Totem Heritage Center. The Haida, Tlingit and Tsimshian are all a part of the city's colorful history. Ketchikan, with its abundance of salmon, is also a sportfishing paradise. Sightseers will be impressed with both the scenic town and its surroundings, especially Misty Fjords National Monument.

Top Things to Do in Ketchikan:

  • visit Totem Bight State Park
  • venture past the town limits into Tongass National Forest
  • visit Ketchikan's own Saxman Native Village
  • a myriad of outdoor adventures from fishing to zip-lining!

Love Sabatini’s? (Or really good Italian dinners?) You’ll be happy to hear this popular specialty restaurant has returned to its roots. Think traditional Italian comfort cuisine. Our new menu embraces the old: tried-and-true family recipes our chefs brought with them from Italy, plus exquisite Italian wines and cocktails. You can even enjoy some shareable plates exclusively at Sabatini’s Trattoria.

Arrives: 7:30 AM

Alaskan Cruise   1 , VIC, Australia, Apr 2024
First time cruise and enjoyed every minute. Princess cruises are well organised and the cruise went according to plan. Great food and on board entertainment was entertaining. A very relaxing 7 days and the scenery breathtaking.
Mini Cruise 2 , NSW, Australia, Mar 2024
Great way to travel back to Sydney from Melbourne. We were quite impressed with Princess Cruises. Fantastic shows, food and service. Well organised and loved talking to lots of different people at the shared tables which were always available at different times. You need to book at all restaurants if you want to sit with just your party.
14-Day New Zealand Cruise - Melbourne Return 3 , VIC, Australia, Feb 2024
Our cruise with the Grand Princess was absolutely fantastic and would recommend it to everyone. Our agent Hannah was simply great with our booking, planning, updates, reassurances everything was completed, etc. She was most helpful in every way and she was most appreciated as she will be with our next two bookings. Thanks Hannah.
Tour Downunder 1 , VIC, Australia, Mar 2023
The highlights of the trip were being with family from UK and showing them my adopted home; I found the visit to Port Lincoln the most interesting and would have liked more time in the Coffin Bay area. The staff on board were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Unfortunately the weather was not favourable so no swimming. My cabin was very comfortable, ...read more especially the bed and I enjoyed my balcony.
