Princess Cruises
From its modest beginnings in 1965 with a single ship cruising to Mexico, Princess has grown to become one of the premiere cruise lines in the world. Today, its fleet carries more than a million passengers each year to more worldwide destinations than any other major line.
Considered one of the most recognised cruise lines in the world, Princess Cruises was catapulted to stardom in 1977 when Pacific Princess was cast in a starring role on a new television show called 'The Love Boat.' The weekly series, which introduced millions of viewers to the still-new concept of a sea-going holiday, was an instant hit and both the company name and its sea witch logo have remained synonymous with cruising ever since.
Princess' modern fleet has grown considerably in recent years to 17 vessels, making Princess one of the most modern fleets on the high seas.
Alaska
In the land of the midnight sun, you'll need every extra minute of daylight if you want to experience it all. From the awe-inspiring blue ice of a massive glacial field to the expansive grandeur of its wildlife and nature, everything in Alaska is big, including the adventures.
