Princess Cruises has announced the launch of Cook My Catch, an exclusive culinary experience offering guests the ability to enjoy their very own catch of the day while on holiday with the leading cruise line in Alaska.
The unique cruise dining experience is available during select shore excursions on Princess cruises during port calls in Juneau and Ketchikan, as well as Princess Land & Sea Vacations featuring stays at Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge and Copper River Princess Wilderness Lodge.
As guests return from their excursion, they select their preferred preparation and accompaniments to be prepared by the culinary team – a unique way to enjoy their very own, wild Alaska seafood.
Cook My Catch is just one of many enhancements Princess is making to its award-winning North to Alaska program this year. The program, which partners with local experts to feature a variety of authentic Alaska culinary, educational and entertainment experiences, is designed to delve deeper into the fascinating frontier guests are exploring around them.
Princess Cruises Vice President Australia & New Zealand Stuart Allison said Alaska remained a favourite destination with Australian travellers.
“Our newest North to Alaska offerings demonstrate our commitment to provide our guests with authentic local experiences in the destinations we visit,” Mr Allison said. “Alaska offers so many opportunities to create lifetime memories ultimately ensuring our guests ‘come back new’.”
New 2016 North to Alaska highlights also include:
Meet the Mountain Climber: Guests traveling on a Princess Land & Sea Vacation can enjoy an interactive presentation by mountain climbers who have conquered Denali while at Mt McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge. Participants will hear tales of survival on the mountain, view photos and try authentic climber equipment.
Puppies in the Piazza: Princess guests can meet some of Skagway’s newest sled dogs onboard a cruise to Alaska in 2016. Guests will have the opportunity to interact with the animals, take pictures and meet the dog handlers responsible for training them to be the next generation of Iditarod champions.
In total, six Princess cruise ships will offer more than 120 Alaska cruise departures during the Alaska summer season, May – September, sailing from San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver B.C. and Whittier (Anchorage), Alaska.
Fares to Alaska start from $1159* per person twin share for a seven-night Voyage of the Glaciers cruise, departing Vancouver on September 10, 2016.
