Posted on 09/01/2025

You know that feeling when you're caught between two desires? 

You want to explore new, exciting places and experience different cultures. But you also want a vacation that's truly relaxing — one where you can simply unwind and soak in the experience. 

Princess Cruises makes it easy to find that perfect balance. They’ve perfected the art of delivering a truly relaxing vacation that's also filled with genuine, breathtaking experiences. It’s a seamless blend of adventure and comfort, where you can explore the breathtaking glaciers of Alaska, the enchanting treasures of the Mediterranean, and the vibrant rhythms of the Caribbean — all while your floating resort handles every detail. With Princess, you're not just taking a trip; you're embarking on a journey of discovery that's as effortless as it is unforgettable.

Unforgettable Destinations 

While Princess cruise ships are a destination in themselves, the incredible places they visit are where unforgettable adventures truly begin. Princess offers a world of discovery, from exploring the majestic glaciers of Alaska, diving into ancient cultures in the Mediterranean, to unwinding in the sun-drenched beauty of the Caribbean. With itineraries crafted for every traveler, you're sure to find the perfect escape.

Alaska: The Great Land 

Cruising to Alaska is a journey into a wild and magni6ficent world. Travelers can witness glaciers calving with a thunderous roar and spot incredible wildlife, such as bald eagles, whales, and bears. Sailing through Glacier Bay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a highlight, with a National Park Service Ranger often on board to provide insightful commentary, sharing details about the unique ecosystem and history of the region. 

For an even deeper exploration, consider a Princess cruisetour, which seamlessly combines your cruise with a land tour. These extended adventures allow you to venture further inland, where you’ll stay in Princess-owned wilderness lodges, ensuring the same quality and comfort as your ship. From these lodges, you can explore iconic places like Denali National Park, providing a close-up look at North America’s tallest peak and the vast, untamed beauty of the Great Land.

The Mediterranean: History and Beauty Collide 

The Mediterranean is a region made for exploration, and a cruise is the perfect way to experience its rich cultures, cuisines, and coastlines. Wander through the ruins of ancient Pompeii, marvel at Michelangelo’s iconic David statue in Florence, or take in the sparkling Aegean Sea from Santorini’s volcanic rock cliff tops. History comes alive at every turn—and so does flavor, with dishes like paella in Barcelona, fresh pasta in Rome, and mezze in Athens. 
Princess' expertly curated shore excursions allow you to fully savor these local flavors and experiences. You can join a variety of culinary tours, such as cooking authentic Norman cuisine with a chef in her home outside Paris. You could have fun under the Tuscan sun at a country farmhouse where hand-picked vegetables and homemade pasta are served for lunch, or embark on a connoisseur's tour and tasting with an award-winning wine writer at a legendary winery in Bordeaux.

The Caribbean: Sun, Sand, and Paradise 

A Caribbean cruise is the ultimate escape from the everyday, offering endless sunshine, turquoise waters, and white-sand beaches. This is your chance to explore multiple islands in a single, seamless journey, where each morning brings a new adventure. Go snorkeling in the vibrant reefs of Cozumel, explore ancient Mayan ruins in Belize, or zipline through the lush rainforest in St. Lucia. 

Prefer a slower pace? You can spend your days lounging on the pristine beaches of Aruba, exploring the rich history and colonial architecture of San Juan, or sipping rum cocktails on a catamaran sailing in Antigua. Each island offers a unique flavor and a new experience. Each island offers a unique culture, a new experience, and an opportunity to unwind as your worries drift away on the warm ocean breeze.
