Alaska 2026

13 NIGHTS DENALI EXPLORER
with Glacier Bay
(Southbound) 

ON THE GRAND PRINCESS

July 26-August 8, 2026

When you’re making your Alaska vacation decision, this is all you really need to know…to do Alaska justice, a Gulf of Alaska cruise tour combining a cruise with a land tour featuring Princess Wilderness Lodges and a luxury dome rail car should be your first and only choice.

COMMITMENT TO THE LAND

Princess Cruise Lines has devoted over 60 years to developing the perfect cruise and has spent millions of dollars creating the Princess tradition on land.  You’ll find that service and personal attention extends well beyond your cruise ship.  In fact, Princess operates its own lodges, rail cars and motorcoaches to make sure that for every minute of attentive Princess service at sea, there’s just as much waiting for you ashore.

YOUR HOSTS

The Gannons have been escorting tours for over 30 years and have hosted groups to Alaska on 28 different occasions.  What better way to cruise than with someone who knows the ins and outs of Princess.  They can make recommendations on tour opportunities, and if you have a concern they are there to take care of it on the spot so you can travel worry free.
