Princess Cruises has announced its 2022 Alaska cruise and cruisetour program with six ships, including the line’s newest ship, Discovery Princess.
Guests can choose from 12 cruise itineraries, plus 25 cruisetour options.
For the May through September 2022 season, west coast home ports – Seattle, Vancouver, B.C., Anchorage (Whittier) and San Francisco – will host Princess ships.
The 143,700-ton, 3,660-passenger Discovery Princess, marks her inaugural season as the youngest ship in Alaska departing from Seattle on the popular seven-day Inside Passage itinerary, alongside Emerald Princess, the company announced.
The Majestic Princess debuts along with Sapphire Princess and Grand Princess sailing the top-rated seven-day Voyage of the Glaciers itinerary.
The Ruby Princess offers 10-day Inside Passage cruises out of San Francisco, featuring the added bonus of the awe-inspiring sailaway under the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.

• 17 destinations – including five glacier-viewing experiences – on 12 unique itineraries and 140 departures. Most cruise itineraries include visits to the Southeast Alaska towns of Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway.
• 82 calls to Glacier Bay National Park on seven unique itineraries. That means, 74 percent of Princess Alaska cruises include calls to Glacier Bay National Park.
