Overview
Is Princess Cruises right for you?
Princess strikes a graceful middle ground: more refined than the contemporary lines, more affordable and less formal than the luxury brands. Its ships are sized for comfort rather than spectacle, with a genuinely relaxed pace. Where Princess truly leads is Alaska — it owns wilderness lodges in the interior and runs the Direct-to-the-Wilderness rail service, so a cruise can extend into Denali by dome train in a way no competitor matches. The MedallionClass wearable makes ordering drinks, finding your party and unlocking your cabin effortless.

Princess Cruises FAQs
Princess owns wilderness lodges in Alaska’s interior and runs its own glass-domed rail cars from the ports to Denali, so it can package a cruise with a genuine land adventure that other lines can’t replicate. Decades of Alaska experience show in the itineraries and onboard enrichment.
A quarter-sized wearable device that unlocks your stateroom hands-free, lets you order food and drinks to your exact location on the ship, speeds up boarding and helps you locate your travel companions. It’s included — no extra charge.
Less than it used to be. There are a couple of optional “formal” evenings you can dress up for, but most nights are smart-casual and relaxed. The overall feel is elegant but comfortable, not stuffy.
