ALASKA CRUISETOUR
14 NIGHTS OFF THE BEATEN PATH
ON THE DIAMOND PRINCESS
JULY 20-AUGUST 3, 2013
When you’re making your Alaska vacation decision, this is all you really need to know…to do Alaska justice, a Gulf of Alaska cruisetour 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 160 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
Gary and Connie Gannon have been escorting tours for over 20 years and have hosted groups to Alaska on 16 different occasions. What better way to travel to Alaska than with someone who knows the ins and outs of Princess.
