Pacific Princess Overview

The Pacific Princess is the smallest ship in the Princess cruise fleet. It offers a more intimate Alaska cruise experience while still linking passengers with Princess' excellent shore operation. Although there are fewer options for dining and entertainment, what is available is refined and beautifully presented. The ship focuses on a classic style of cruising with traditional dining options, smaller entertainment venues, and plenty of opportunities for quiet and relaxation. The ship has a nice balance of indoor and outdoor spaces. Passengers especially enjoy the large yet cozy library, and spacious deck surrounding a saltwater pool and two hot tubs.

The Pacific Princess sails on a seven-day Voyage of the Glaciers cruise northbound or southbound between Vancouver, BC, and Whittier. The route is highlighted by a visit to Glacier Bay National Park. Ports of call include Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway.
