50th anniversary of Alaska's statehood -- Princess celebrates Alaska's 50th anniversary in 2009 with a full season of cruisetour and cruise itineraries showcasing the best of the state, including the incomparable Denali National Park and Glacier Bay National Park. Complete land and sea vacations feature the line's own wilderness lodges and Direct to the Wilderness rail travel, and the company's eight-ship Alaska fleet sails the state's dramatic glacier rimmed Gulf Coast and scenic Inside Passage.
Princess pioneered upscale cruising to Alaska almost 31 years ago and Princess is still leading the way with Personal Choice cruises and cruisetours. Alaska has as many as 100,000 glaciers and three million lakes; and places so remote the animals outnumber the people. This is the backdrop against which Princess' unforgettable adventures will unfold. Princess guests will cruise the Inside Passage, across the Gulf of Alaska and travel deep into the very heart of America's Last Frontier.
To do Alaska justice, your first choice should be a Gulf of Alaska cruisetour, combining our Voyage of the Glaciers cruise with a choice of land tours. This is the ideal Alaska experience featuring more national parks, more glaciers, more wildlife and more wilderness, the finest lodges and, of course, a world-class cruise.
