Discover Alaska

               Explore the Unspoiled Nature of the Last Frontier

From action-packed wilderness adventures to extraordinary

sightseeing, a journey to Alaska is an unforgettable experience.

There are three vacation options for experiencing the natural splendor of Alaska: Inside Passage, Northbound or Southbound cruise, and Guided Tours which
can be added to a cruise or completed on their own.

With the completion of our Inside Passage cruise from Seattle on Discovery Princess (May 8-15, 2022) we have now experienced all three options. We'd love to share our experiences with you.

We will start our exploration with our most recent voyage.

The 922-guest, 50,000-ton ultra-luxury ship boasts redesigned Penthouses (including its uber-plush Crystal Penthouses), pool areas, Prego Italian restaurant, Lido Café as well as guest elevators and numerous other behind-the-scenes upgrades.  The ship underwent a $25+ million makeover about a year ago.

The highlight of  eight sailings will undoubtedly be cruising in Glacier Bay National Park.   Here you'll see calving glaciers as you ship gently sails through ice floating in the waters.    Your captain will be sure that everyone gets a view during the visit.

On board, you’ll have plenty of opportunity for personal enrichment including unique Experiences of Discovery^® themes on every Alaska sailing: Mind, Body & Spirit on voyage 1211; Crystal’s Wine & Food Festival on voyage 1219; and on seven sailings – voyages 1212 through 1218 – you’ll stand up and cheer the rising stars showcased in our Emerging Artists theme.
