Princess offers an exciting variety of itineraries to bring you the best of Alaska by sea, and we’re
equally committed to providing the ultimate cruisetour experience on land. Built specifically for
cruisetours, we operate our own lodges in all the best locations — and feature scenic Alaska
touring aboard our premier glass-domed railcars and luxury motorcoaches.
Friendly service
PRIME LOCATIONS. Princess is the only cruise line with lodges at legendary national parks.
Our spectacular riverside locations bring the classic wilderness adventures of Alaska within reach.
WILDERNESS CONCIERGE. Guests discover how warm Alaska can be with the help of our
SM
Alaskan Outfitters, local Princess experts with the inside track on the “best of Alaska” — what
to see, where to go, what to do.
ENDLESS ACTIVITIES. There are so many things happening around our lodges — trails for
hiking, lakes for kayaking, rivers for fishing or rafting, horses for riding, and helicopters for
flightseeing. And that’s just the short list.
Riverside locations
TASTE OF ALASKA. Dine in Alaskan style at our wilderness lodges. Princess Signature
Alaskan Cuisine is served in an array of indoor and outdoor venues, ranging from the casual
to the upscale — many with majestic views. And of course, you’ll enjoy the same level of
refined, gracious Princess service and hospitality you experience on our ships.
PRINCESS PERFECT. Alaska is a special place and it takes a high level of service to do it
justice — and that’s exactly what you can expect when you visit the region with Princess.
It’s an authentic Alaska vacation that has Princess written all over it.
Breathtaking views

a panorama of mountains, river and forest. Inside, there’s a massive, free-standing rock fireplace,
plenty of cozy places to read, dine, sip an espresso, watch a movie and join a hike or a Park Ranger

Experience the beauty of the
rich Copper River region
This is the kind of retreat you’ve always wanted to visit and never want to
leave. The impressive Wrangell Room looks out onto the towering mountains
of Wrangell-St. Elias, the largest national park in the United States. The
Copper and Klutina Rivers meet in the valley below and the Alaska Pipeline
snakes off into the distance. And throughout the lodge, you see evidence of
an artist’s imagination — for this architectural blend of timber, stone, glass
and precious metals is a true masterpiece.
