These Princess Cruises Alaska sailings start from $3,478 CAD per person for a
balcony stateroom with Princess Plus, with instant savings, reduced US$99 deposits, and free 3rd and 4th guests available on select voyages. Several sailings also carry exclusive agency perks — including onboard credit and a fully hosted Denali cruisetour experience — that are only available when you book through a travel advisor. Departures run from 2026 through 2027, with embarkation ports across the West Coast and Alaska.
Why a Princess Alaska Voyage Stands Out
Alaska has a way of exceeding expectations — even for well-travelled people — and Princess has been sailing these waters long enough to know exactly how to deliver the experience at its best.
Standing on deck as a glacier the size of a city block fills your entire field of view is the kind of moment that's simply impossible to replicate on a screen or in a photo — Glacier Bay National Park, Hubbard Glacier, Endicott Arm, and College Fjord all feature across these itineraries
Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, and Sitka each offer their own distinct character — whale watching, floatplane excursions, Gold Rush history, Indigenous art, and some of the best zip-lining anywhere in the world
The Denali Explorer Cruisetour extends the Alaska experience inland via scenic glass-domed rail car, connecting the coastal cruise with the heart of Denali National Park — a genuinely rare combination of wilderness experiences
Princess's Sanctuary Collection, available aboard Star Princess, offers a ship-within-a-ship experience for travellers who want private spaces, bespoke amenities, and a higher level of service throughout the voyage
Princess Plus — bundled into all featured fares — means gratuities, Wi-Fi, a 15-drinks-per-day beverage package, four casual dining meals per guest, and OceanNow delivery are already covered before you step onboard

Why Book Through Boarding Pass Travel
Alaska cruises with Princess involve more planning decisions than most — embarkation port, itinerary length, stateroom category, Princess Plus vs. Premier, and a suite of offers that interact in ways that aren't always obvious. Here's where working with us pays off:
The agency exclusive perks on four of these sailings are only available through a travel advisor. The onboard credits on the Star Princess, Royal Princess, and Discovery Princess sailings, and the full Denali cruisetour shore experience on Grand Princess, cannot be accessed by booking direct. These are meaningful additions — especially the Denali package, which includes guided experiences that would cost significantly more booked independently.
We'll match you to the right itinerary and stateroom. A 7-night Inside Passage from Seattle and a 20-night Ultimate Alaska Solstice from San Francisco are completely different commitments in terms of time, budget, and experience depth. And choosing between a balcony, Mini-Suite, and Sanctuary Suite on Star Princess changes not just your cabin but your entire onboard world. We know these ships and will help you find the combination that's right for you.
We'll make sure your instant savings and deposit offer are applied correctly. The savings structure varies by voyage length and cabin type in ways that aren't always intuitive. We work through Princess promotions regularly and will ensure your booking captures every dollar of value before you confirm.
Getting to the ship is part of the trip. Most of these sailings depart from US ports, which means flight planning, pre-cruise hotel options, and potentially post-cruise extensions are all worth thinking through. We enjoy the full planning conversation and can help you build a seamless trip from Toronto to the glacier and back.
