I’m excited to share something truly special with you—my 2026 hosted group cruise to Alaska! This is one adventure you won’t want to miss. We’ll be sailing roundtrip from Seattle on May 31, 2026, aboard Princess’ brand-new Star Princess for a 7-night journey through the heart of Alaska’s breathtaking Inside Passage.
Along the way, we’ll visit incredible ports like Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, and Victoria, British Columbia—each offering its own unique charm, culture, and scenery. Think massive glaciers, rugged coastlines, and chances to spot whales, eagles, and bears in their natural habitat. It's the kind of trip you won't forget!
What makes this even more exciting for me is that I get to host the group personally! That means you’ll have support every step of the way. In addition, you'll have access to curated experiences based on what you love—whether that’s getting up close to nature, diving into local culture, or simply relaxing and taking it all in.
Princess Cruises is known for doing Alaska right, and this new ship takes it to the next level. I’d love for you to be a part of it.
Let’s make some unforgettable memories together!
The dazzling new Star Princess is set to debut in the Mediterranean in October 2025 and will make its way to Alaska for an unforgettable inaugural season in 2026! This stunning ship will be packed with exciting features, including the Dome, a unique top-deck entertainment space inspired by Santorini’s cliffs, an updated and vibrant Italian-style Piazza, and the brand new Sanctuary Collection. Whether you’re catching an amazing show or just soaking in incredible glacial views from your private balcony, the new Star Princess is bound to be a highlight of your trip.
When it comes to dining, Star Princess will have you covered with everything from elegant fine dining to casual eats with a gourmet twist. Plus, when you're not out exploring the Alaskan scenery, the on-board entertainment lineup is next-level, featuring live productions, talented musicians, and interactive fun around every corner.
With its fresh design and thoughtful spaces, this ship is perfect for creating incredible memories during your Alaska adventure!
