What is an Alaska Cruisetour?
Princess' magnificently decorated ships have all the bells and whistles of a five-star hotel, with the added bonus of being able to bring you to each new destination in style. The cafes, restaurants, pool decks and even nightclubs are all whimsically decorated, with nods to the sea in many of the details. With between 2,200 and 3,000 passengers, these ships are quite large, but have plenty of public spaces and dining options to cater to all guests comfortably. Several Princess ships sail to Alaska, including the Crown Princess, Discovery Princess, Emerald Princess, Grand Princess, Majestic Princess, Royal Princess, Ruby Princess and Sapphire Princess. On each ship you'll find a spa, wellness center, casino, library, theater, many dining venues and bars, and of course, spacious, comfortable accommodations.
A hallmark of the Princess experience is its attentive and friendly staff, who are experts in making guests feel at home while also creating an escape from the ordinary. Your stewards will know you by name, and be sure to keep you feeling pampered and comfortable throughout your journey.
Don't just visit this famous land, live it on Alaska excursions. Rush across the snow on a dog sled with a professional musher, fly fish for salmon in fresh rivers and soar over miles of glacial tundra in a helicopter. Watch migrating humpback whales from the deck of a catamaran or Native craftsman carve a traditional totem pole, and expand your Alaska cruise experience.
When you sail with Princess, Alaska cruise food is more than a meal - it's a culinary experience that reawakens your taste buds and speaks to the unique flavor of the Great Land. These beautifully presented meals taste just as divine as they look. All of the food on an Alaska cruise with Princess is made from scratch. Crafted with locally-sourced ingredients, enjoy only the freshest fare on board Princess ships. Whether you?re in the mood for legendary Alaska seafood, pan-roasted steak or a veggie-heavy plate, there's an option for everyone. Here are the best dishes to try on your next cruise to the Great Land.
Breakfast: Wake up in total relaxation with a private balcony breakfast full of flakey croissants, golden eggs and savory sausage. Start the day off on a lighter note with crisp fruits and greens. Or give yourself the sweet start you deserve with chocolate-glazed donuts and fluffy pancakes. Top off your meal with a glass of freshly-squeezed orange juice, or opt for a bubbly mimosa. With a menu as adventurous as the destinations that await you, start your day with Alaska cruise food that inspires you.
Lunch: When mid-day hunger strikes, options await. On board any of the Alaska cruises, find dishes from local eateries in the top-deck grill. Inspired by Tracy's King Crab Shack, enjoy Juneau's favorite crab cakes. Sample authentic Alaska seafood with fish tacos from Ketchikan's Alaska Fish House. Or choose a heartier option with Skagway's cherished seafood chowder from Bonanza Bar and Grill. With these specialties featured in the top-deck grill on board, you won't have to travel far to get a taste of the Great Land.
Dinner: Exclusive to cruises sailing to the Great Land, Cook My Catch offers a true sea-to-seat experience. At select ports, reel in your fish on one of the fishing excursions and have chefs cook it for your dinner that night. They can even prepare it to your liking, so you can truly enjoy your authentic Alaska seafood.
Dessert: No matter where you choose to enjoy Alaska cruise food on board, you can also find dessert almost anywhere. Start your day with something sweet in the Horizon Court Buffet - like chocolate muffins, bretons, puff pastries and danishes. Or stop by the Vines bar later for a one-of-a-kind chocolate and wine pairing. For guests on board Royal Princess, visit the ice cream bar for a scoop of creamy gelato and an assortment of tasty toppings.
The food on an Alaska cruise should be every bit as memorable as the excursions on shore. That's why Princess Cruises is always refreshing their menus to deliver the best sensory experience through the Great Land. Sail with Princess and experience the best Alaska cruise food from morning to night.

Princess ships offer accessible staterooms designed for wheelchair maneuverability and feature wider doorways than a standard stateroom in both the stateroom and the bathroom. Bathrooms are equipped with a roll-in shower with a fold-down bench seat, a distress alarm, handheld shower head and grab bars. The stateroom also has an easy access closet and writing desk with wheelchair access. Additionally, all staterooms feature Medallion touchless entry, which unlocks the door as you approach. Access-friendly design across our fleet makes it easy to enjoy each vessel's restaurants, theaters, spas, lounges, and open deck space. Elevators have 36- to 42-inch doorways, and wheelchair seating is available in show lounges and other public spaces. Onboard, make reservations and requests using the MedallionClass app on your personal electronic device or interactive in-stateroom TV.
If you have purchased a Princess pre- or post-cruise hotel package or transfers, Princess will assist with arranging accessible transportation. Accessible transportation may be limited or not available in some foreign ports of call. Please be sure to submit a Mobility Questionnaire (PDF) so that we can make the appropriate arrangements for you.
Going ashore: Most ports provide easy access ashore via gangways. Due to various conditions including the steepness of the gangway, weather, shore-side facilities, tidal and sea conditions, guests using mobility devices may be required to transfer to a stair climber. Princess' team will guide you based on local conditions to assure your safety. For the safety of the team, crew members are only able to physically lift up to 50 pounds (22 kg).
In some ports, the ship anchors offshore and guests transfer to shore by water shuttles. When a water shuttle is required, guests using mobility devices will not be transferred into or out of the water shuttle, if lifting in excess of the above limitation is required. Many water shuttle ports do not provide wheelchair access so even if the guest can board the water shuttle, they may not be able to disembark ashore. Again, the shore-side facilities, movement of the water shuttle, weather and tidal conditions can also preclude the use of the water shuttle.
