Cruise Portion
Vancouver, British Columbia
In Vancouver, you never lose sight of the spectacular mountains or the glimmering sea. It is a prosperous city, with flowers adorning the streets and the lush greenery of Stanley Park, the third-largest urban park in the world, beckoning to travellers and locals alike. Museums offer fine collections of dramatic Northwest Native arts. Vancouver's Chinatown is the second largest in the world. Gastown, the waterfront district, recalls the city's colorful past as a premier port since the days of the Clipper ships.
Come see the natural beauties of Vancouver, which captured the prestigous title of the 2010 Winter Olympics' Host City.
Ketchikan is the salmon capital of the world. The canneries are busy and the stream below Creek Street's rustic boardwalk bustles with life. Visit the ancient grove of Totem Bight, the largest collection of authentic totem poles anywhere. Make a flight to nearby Misty Fjords--a breathtaking vista of Alaska's unspoiled wilderness and America's newest national monument; or try a little salmon fishing.
Accessible only by air or sea, Alaska's capital is surprisingly urban and cultured for such a remote destination. When you arrive by sea, you will be greeted dockside by numerous flags and an abundance of summer flowers. For further insight into the Inuit culture and crafts, visit the museum. Take the short drive to Mendenhall Glacier, the only glacier inside city limits! Take a helicopter ride for an amazing aerial view of Juneau and area, or go fishing for silver salmon. Then, just kick back and relax with a cool one at the famous and colorful Red Dog Saloon.
Skagway was born during the great Klondike gold rush. Those were the days when Skagway had 80 saloons and was known as "the roughest town on earth". The city's rip-roaring past will come alive when you walk down Broadway, a main street so authentic it is part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park!
Preserved as a National Monument, Glacier Bay exists as an extraordinary collection of glaciers in a contained region. Only two ships per day are permitted to enter the bay during the summer months, which is when whales come here to feed. Hundreds of years ago, the ice in Glacier Bay fell as snow on the icefields in the mountains above.
Compressed by its own tremendous weight, the ice slowly flows through valleys to the sea, where in some cases, it breaks off in great chunks, called "calves", to float free as icebergs and "bergy bits".
College Fjord is truly one of the most visited fjords on Alaskan cruise itineraries. A total of sixteen glaciers line the 20-mile long fjord, all named after renowned colleges on the east coast of the United States. Once you have cruised through the fjord, you can honestly tell people that you went to Harvard, Yale or Wellsley. Perhaps slightly overshadowed by more spectacular glaciers, College Fjord is as scenic as fjords come and won't disappoint avid glacier fans.
Whittier, Alaska is located at the head of Passage Canal in Prince William Sound, 75 scenic miles southeast of Anchorage. Whittier lies to the northeast shore of the Kenai Peninsula and to the west of Prince William Sound.
Established as a strategic military facility during the Second World War, Whittier's ice-free port remains a focal point for marine activity and freight transfer from sea train barges serving South-central Alaska.
Stunningly beautiful and rich in wildlife, Denali National Park consists of six million acres of coniferous forest and open tundra. Looming high above the valleys is the 20,320 ft. Mount McKinley, commonly known as Denali, meaning literally, "The High One". It is the highest peak in North America. If you are fortunate enough to be there on a clear day, you can expect to see Dall sheep high on the hillsides and grizzlies fishing for salmon in the icy-cold streams of the park.
An Alaska adventure begins in Anchorage. The majestic mountains, glistening glaciers and crystal-clear streams and lakes beckon for exploration. Explore the rich culture of Alaska's first people and feel their pride. Savor the taste of fresh Alaska seafood. Cosmopolitan Anchorage is a city that has its own symphony and ballet, while offering rugged wilderness only minutes away. Art enthusiasts will enjoy the Anchorage Museum of History and Art, as well as many other galleries. Shoppers will discover unique native Alaskan arts and crafts. Anchorage is the place to tap into your sense of adventure!
Situated on Puget Sound, Seattle's lush vegetation has earned it the nickname the "Emerald City." The futuristic Space Needle offers a 360-degree view of the city's skyline, Puget Sound and Mt. Rainier. At Pike Place Market you can shop for handcrafted clothes and jewelry, and enjoy the amazing variety of flowers, famous fish markets and more.

Princess Cruises Details
Having led the way in Gulf of Alaska cruising, Princess maintains a strong presence in Alaska. Through its Seattle-based Princess Tours division, the company operates a wide variety of spectacular land and sea experiences in the majestic "Land of the Midnight Sun." The largest cruise and tour operator in the state, Princess operates six cruise ships, five riverside wilderness lodges, luxury Midnight Sun Express Ultra Dome rail cars, and a fleet of deluxe motor coaches; allowing cruise passengers to connect seamlessly to a landside tour and experience several distinctly unique facets of the Alaska wilderness in a single trip.
With Princess, you won't just see Alaska, you'll feel it with unique, one-of-a-kind experiences. In Juneau, you will be introduced to Libby Riddles, the first woman to win the grueling 1,049-mile Iditarod Sled Dog Race. Balladeer Steve Hites will come aboard in Skagway to share his one-man Gold Rush show. Such included enrichments continue with daily onboard lectures on local geology, wildlife, and native culture. Ranger naturalists cruise with Princess through Glacier Bay, and a junior park ranger program is offered for kids.

Princess Cruises Cruiseline Review
Princess offers one of the newest fleets sailing in Alaska. Each ship offers a variety of dining options, superior entertainment, quality service and Anytime Dining. Princess has removed the regimentation of the traditional cruise and instead allows you to "Do What You Want, When You Want" on their impressive fleet of 7 mega-ships, many of which have been recently refurbished and renovated for Alaska 2010. These are 'space' ships, with the amenities and features of a grand mega-ship, but with a small ship feel thanks to intimate public areas and multiple bars, dining venues, and show lounges. In addition, Princess offers more affordable balcony staterooms and more cruisetour packages than any other cruise line.
