Princess Cruises offers expanded capacity to Alaska's famed Inside Passage in 2007. Amenity-filled Golden Princess makes Alaska debut with Seattle sailings
30/5/2006
Alaska's colorful southeast -- from the stunning ice-blue glaciers and deep green forests to brightly hued totem poles and frontier-era gold -- has made Inside Passage cruising one of the favorite ways to visit the 49th state. In 2007, Golden Princess will make her Alaska debut with a series of sailings through these crystal waters, adding a new choice and expanding capacity to Princess' popular Inside Passage program.
Golden Princess, along with Sun Princess, will sail from Seattle, while Dawn Princess cruises on a variety of 10-day sailings from San Francisco. Dawn Princess' schedule will also include two special sailings that feature daylight cruising of Glacier Bay National Park.
Together, the three ships offer 53 departures on three itineraries, each offering the convenience of roundtrip travel.
"Golden Princess represents an exciting addition to our Seattle cruise program," said Charlie Ball, president of Princess Tours.
"Her more than 700 balcony staterooms give passengers increased opportunities to choose this popular amenity - the perfect place to watch the stunning Alaskan scenery go by. Combining this affordable feature with the addition of the popular Dawn Princess in San Francisco, we're offering a great level of variety on our Inside Passage program.
With our exclusive onboard Alaskan content and convenient departure ports, it's easy to see why our cruises are among the best ways to experience Alaska's famed Inside Passage."
