Princess Cruises Unveils Alaska 2026 Season

Princess Cruises has released details of its 2026 Alaska season, which will see the cruise line’s newest ship, Star Princess, heading for the North American waters. In her inaugural journey to Alaskan waters, the ship will enable guests to explore the region’s incredible landscapes and wildlife in luxury.

Star Princess is set to embark on her maiden voyage in the autumn of 2025, ushering in a new era of luxury cruising. Striking features include The Dome and The Sphere, a glass Piazza that hovers gracefully above the ocean.

John Padgett, Princess Cruises President, said: “2026 will reinforce Princess’ leadership in Alaska vacations. The deployment of the magnificent Star Princess to Alaska for the first time will offer guests unprecedented views, luxurious accommodations, and the finest food, beverages and entertainment ever seen in the Great Land. Our guests will experience Alaska like never before aboard our innovative Sphere Class ship.

“Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or a seasoned traveller, Princess is the ultimate choice for luxury and adventure, with awe-inspiring glaciers, unforgettable wildlife encounters, and the freshest seafood imaginable.”

The Princess Cruises 2026 Alaska season includes 180 departures from five ports across eight incredible ships. Among the options are seven-day journeys on board Discovery Princess, Grand Princess, Coral Princess, and Island Princess, which take in views of two glaciers. Guests can also enjoy seven- to 20-day cruises and up to four glacier-viewing experiences when they sail the Inside Passage.
