Alaska’s biggest cruise and tour operator, Princess Cruises, is giving
travellers even more reasons to visit the land of ice with the launch
in 2008 of new longer ‘Connoisseur’ sailings.
The boutique 670-passenger Tahitian Princess – the ‘baby’ of Princess’
Alaskan fleet - will swap palms and blue lagoons for spruce trees and
ice-blue glaciers when she debuts in the region next year to offer the
line’s first two-week, eight-port sojourns in Alaska. She is one of
eight Princess cruise ships to sail on Alaskan voyages in 2008,
offering more passenger capacity than any other line.
Designed to attract nature lovers seeking a complete Alaskan
experience as well as past visitors keen to see more of America’s
largest and wildest State, the new ‘Connoisseur Voyages’ will sail
round-trip from Vancouver and showcase hidden gems not featured on
shorter Alaskan cruises.
New ports featured include Kodiak with its famous brown bears, the
breathtaking Kenai Fjords of Seward and Alaska’s ‘Little Switzerland’
at Valdez in addition to the popular ports of Ketchikan, Juneau,
Skagway, Sitka and Victoria and a day in Alaska’s number one
attraction, Glacier Bay.
In total, the 2008 Alaska line-up for Princess Cruises will feature
135 sailings through Alaska – one of the most popular cruise
destinations in the world for Australians - with eight ships on offer
between May and September.
Four huge ships – the 2670-passenger sisters Diamond Princess and
Sapphire Princess and the 1970-passenger twins Coral Princess and
Island Princess – will offer Princess’ signature seven-night Gulf of
Alaska sailings between Vancouver and Whittier, with all cruises
featuring calls at Glacier Bay. Princess will carry more passengers to
this spectacle of ice and sea life in 2008 than any other cruise line.
Meanwhile, two megaliners – the 2600-passenger sisters Star Princess
and Golden Princess - will offer seven-night round-trip itineraries
from Seattle to the famed Inside Passage with sights that include
gushing waterfalls, crashing glaciers, soaring eagles, roaming bears,
frontier towns and lush forests. Another vessel, Dawn Princess, will
offer 10-night round-trip journeys to the Inside Passage from San
Francisco – ideal for passengers flying from Australia.
Princess Cruises also offers stays at five exclusive Princess
wilderness lodges in Alaska, a range of add-on land tours in Alaska
and the Canadian Rockies and rides aboard Princess’ own deluxe trains,
which provide direct access from the ship to the famed Alaskan
frontier. Princess Cruises will offer dozens of excursions from its
ships and lodges in 2007 including glacier hikes, dogsled rides,
kayaking, fishing expeditions, whale-watching, bear-spotting, seaplane
flights and native cultural dances.
