In the early 1900s, Ketchikan prospered from gold mining, fishing, and timber industries. The economy has been transitioning from timber and commercial fishing to tourism, which has provided an opportunity for economic growth.
June 14
Juneau is famous not only for gold and government but also for its breathtakingly beautiful glaciers and stunning views of both water and mountains. Its total area makes it one of the biggest towns, in size, in the world.
June 15
Over 100 years ago, the White Pass route through the Coast Mountains and the shorter but steeper Chilkoot Trail were used in search of gold. Today, Skagway has less than 1,000 residents. It still retains the flavor of the gold rush era.
June 18
Glaciers, mountains, wildlife, Native Alaskan culture and the best shopping in Alaska are all found here. Anchorage is situated between the soaring heights of the Chugach and Alaska Mountain Ranges and the waters of Cook Inlet
June 18/19
Denali is the highest peak in North America and is surrounded by a spectacular wildlife. Denali National Park is home to caribou, moose, wolves, Dall sheep, bald eagles, and the mighty grizzly bears.
June 20
The city serves as the hub of Alaska's Interior. In the summer, visitors and residents enjoy nearly 24 hours of daylight. Experience Fairbanks' rich Gold Rush history via sternwheeler or visit one of the region's many gold mines.
Preparing for a Day at Glacier Bay
- Meet Park Rangers
Learn about Glacier Bay National Park from the people who know it best. While sailing through the park’s deep fjords, park rangers join you on board to share history and facts of the region and its wildlife. As a part of the Junior Ranger program, even kids can participate and earn their own junior ranger badge.
- What to Wear & Climate
With temperatures fluctuating between 30-60 degrees Fahrenheit, dress in layers to make sure you’re comfortable all day. Since it’s usually cooler on the water and near the glaciers, we recommend packing a warm coat, waterproof gear, a hat, gloves and supportive walking shoes. You may also want to bring extra memory cards for your camera so you can reminisce about all your adventures through Glacier Bay National Park with Princess. Most importantly, don’t forget to bring binoculars so you can admire the natural landmarks up close from the comfort of the ship.
- Glacier Bay Experience
Enjoy around 8-hours in Glacier Bay National Park cruising by spectacular scenery with one hour spent at the face of Margerie Glacier. Park rangers will provide commentary from the bridge, hold presentations in the Princess theater and wander the open decks so you may ask them questions. Many of the activities onboard will be suspended to ensure you get the most from this special experience.
