Princess Cruises Announces 2025 Alaska Itineraries

Princess Cruises has unveiled its 2025 Alaska cruise and cruisetours season in advance of bookings opening this week. The 2025 season to the ‘Last Frontier’ will consist of 155 total departures, with 18 unique itineraries ranging from 4 - 22 days.  

The cruise line will deploy seven ships to Alaska in 2025, including Caribbean Princess for the first time. Princess will sail from five homeports, with the addition of Los Angeles. Overall, the line will visit 21 destinations and four glacier-viewing experiences, highlighted by 88 visits to Glacier Bay National Park (more visits than any other cruise line).

“As the market leader in Alaska, we’re excited to offer guests even more exciting ways to see the natural beauty of Alaska with itineraries in 2025 that serve up new adventures and extended journeys that first-time guests and repeat visitors are going to find intriguing,” said John Padgett, Princess Cruises president. “We’re also making it easier for guests to access an Alaska cruise by bringing back a roundtrip option out of Los Angeles, which also make it more affordable for millions within that drive market.”
