Sapphire Princess Alaska Cruise Southbound
Princess' Gulf of Alaska Cruise offers an eight-day, seven-night cruise highlighting Alaska's pristine glaciers and marine wildlife. The southbound cruises travel from Whittier, Alaska to Vancouver, British Columbia. You will view massive glaciers, cruise the inside passage and visit exciting ports along the way. Princess ships may be big, but they don't feel big. That's because the extra space is used to create additional guest amenities and more small intimate places for you to enjoy. Deck plans offer a wide variety of restaurants, theaters, bars, swimming pools and more. Experience "big ship choice with a small ship feel" on a Princess ship.
