Wendy's Insider Tips for Princess Cruises

1

Princess's Alaska itineraries are the best in the industry — book the 7-night Inside Passage sailing for Glacier Bay National Park access.

2

The MedallionClass app is genuinely useful — order drinks, food, and activities from anywhere on the ship.

3

Princess's enrichment lectures are outstanding — naturalists, historians, and chefs provide genuine learning experiences.

4

Book a balcony cabin for Alaska — you'll want to be outside when the glaciers come into view.
