One of the biggest reasons people visit.
Glaciers feel alive.

Endicott Arm
Endicott Arm is a jewel in Alaska’s crown. This 30-mile waterway is surrounded by cliffs, valleys and dozens of waterfalls. Icebergs and harbor seals decorate the water below while Dawes Glacier soars into the sky above. Revel in the beauty of Mother Nature’s masterpiece and listen closely as the scenery whispers secrets of times long ago during your cruise to Alaska.

Glacier Bay National Park
When you cruise to Alaska with Princess, sail through one of the most iconic locations in the Great Land — Glacier Bay National Park. Listen to Margerie Glacier’s signature crack and boom rumble across the waves. Bring binoculars and scan both the shore and the waves for wildlife like brown bears and migrating whales while Park Rangers teach you the history and geology of the park.

Hubbard Glacier
The largest tidewater glacier in North America, Hubbard Glacier has been moving its mass towards the ocean at a rate faster than most of its kind. Towering above the water over 30 stories, the glacier often calves 100-foot chunks of ice into the ocean. What lies beneath the waves is almost as impressive, where ice plunges 1,200 feet beneath the surface. See it for yourself on an Alaska cruise with Princess.

Icy Strait Point
Icy Strait Point is home to the remote Tlingit village of Hoonah, home to fewer than 800 people and a deep Native history. The nearby Spasski River Valley holds one of the world’s largest populations of brown bears, who are often found hunting for salmon in the rivers. Zipline over the wilderness, watch a tribal dance or kayak in coastal waters to see the wildlife up close during your Alaska cruise vacation.

shore excursion brochures
By happymom88 , January 10, 2009 in Princess Cruises
Recommended Posts
We are cruising on the Crown in February and did not receive shore excursion brochures(Princess said there was a problem printing them). Anyway, has anyone figured out a way to print them from the Princess web site. I don't want to print the entire full color brochure, but there is a place I have found just text info. I haven't figured out how to print it. If anyone knows, it would be very helpful for the get together we are having with other family members going on cruise with us. We want to discuss excursions without all 10 of us standing around the computer.
Link to comment
Share on other sites.
have you tried to "cut and paste" the text you want into a Word document or into an email?
That is what I would do.
I think Princess has discontinued printing and sending out the brochures as the last two cruises in 2008 we had virtually no excursion booklet at all so I just read off of the Princess site shore excursion. I have not attempted to download them or print them out but I would think it would not be too hard. Not sure though.
Thanks for the ideas, I'll try it. I was very disappointed not to get the brochure. I'd even pay $10 for it, if they are doing it as a cost cutting measure. I love sitting on the couch and flipping through it, looking at all the pictures and thinking about what I might like to do. We have gotten them for both of our previous cruises, but our last one, unfortunately, was 2 whole years ago!:o Thanks everyone for all the input!:)
If you go to the area for reserving shore excursions on the cruise personalizer, you can view the description of each tour & print them off. Unfortunately, you have to do each excursion separately. As ar as I know there is no way to print all for a cruise or even a port.
Download here:
http://www.princess.com/learn/shorex/brochures/caribbean_mexico/2008_eastern_caribbean.pdf
There are downloadable brochures available for all cruises at
http://www.princess.com/learn/shorex/brochures/index.html
Which date in feb?
Might give everyone in your group a little homework. Let each person go through excursions on line and make their own wish list. Then at your get together you will have it narrowed down a little. Might make it a game "Why do you want to that one"?
On our 20 family member cruise most of us did the same excursions but no one was required.:)
We are on the Crown starting Feb. 1st. We had our meeting and it looks like everyone wants to do an island tour, (shopping, beaches, etc.) and a catamarran or sailing tour, (snorkeling, etc.) We'll do 1 in St. Thomas and 1 in St. Marteen. Any suggestions on which to do where?
I think Princess has discontinued printing and sending out the brochures as the last two cruises in 2008 we had virtually no excursion booklet at all Marilyn
Can't answer for 2009, but we did receive the brochures for the two 2008 cruises we took (September and November).
Cruisin' Chick
Our last cruise was in 2005, but even then I didn't wait to get the shore excursion brochure. I checked out the info on the princess site for my cruise itinerary and narrowed down to a smaller group and printed those descriptions out. Then hubby and I decided on what we wanted and I was ready when the excursions were finally available for booking. The approximate costs on the website were pretty close to the actual costs. If we ever got the brochure, it was sent with the luggage tags or docs.
I think all that is now downloadable from the Princess site, rather than sent thru the mail.
SheltieLady
I just went and picked up my packet from my ta last Monday and she said that on certain cruise caribbean being one of them they are no longer sending out shore excursion books. You get the order forms only.
We went online and download the brochure saved it in a file then printed it out. As I had my sister and brother-in-law joining us from England we each went online and picked our favorite then compared our list and came up with the excursions for us.
Well Princess is sure not consistant as we took a B2B2B in June of 2008 and a Hawaii cruise last Nov. 2008 and no excursion book. sort of weird isn't it.

Bigger ship, better views: 3 takeaways from Princess Cruises' newest vessel
I was rushing to make my dinner reservation on Princess Cruises’ new ship. But when I arrived at the restaurant, the view made me stop.
From the windows at the sushi eatery Makoto Ocean – part of a sphere-shaped structure near the middle of the vessel – I saw the sun sinking below the horizon, a reddish-orange dot on the Mediterranean Sea. The Sun Princess facilitates scenes like that by design.
“We wanted to make sure that within how we designed the (venues) and placed the furniture, we gave maximum opportunity for our guests to be able to celebrate those outward views,” Denise Saviss, Princess’ vice president of entertainment experience, told USA TODAY. “It is really, really unique to have so much glass on the ship.”
Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning.
That was one of several striking features during a recent sailing (the ship is now cruising the Mediterranean before it moves to the Caribbean in October). Here are three takeaways from the first in the line’s aptly named Sphere Class.
1. The design showcases views at sea and in port
Makoto isn’t the only venue that offers that kind of view.
Other spaces inside the Sphere – which also houses lobby-slash-entertainment venue The Piazza – feature similarly sweeping vistas across decks 7, 8 and 9. I watched the light sparkle on the water while I sipped coffee one morning at International Café, and patrons dining at Alfredo’s Pizzeria can take in the scenery during their meal from many seats.
That’s also true elsewhere on the ship. At Horizons Dining Room, floor-to-ceiling windows face the ship’s wake. At the other end of the vessel, the Dome, a geodesic structure that Princess has said was inspired by the hills of Santorini, is like a massive solarium.
The space – which will also host shows including acrobatics – has multiple tiers of loungers, an indoor-outdoor pool and the Cascade Bar (which comes in handy for cooling off, as it felt a bit muggy in the Dome at one point on a sunny sea day).
The overall effect helped to bring the outside in.
2. The ship is bigger but still intimate
Sun Princess is the largest ship in the Princess fleet, and the 21-deck vessel can accommodate 4,300 guests. But that doesn’t mean everything is huge.
Given the scale of the offerings, a number of spaces on board feel notably intimate. One night, I walked to Good Spirits at Sea, a cocktail bar crafted in partnership with mixologist Rob Floyd that also hosts classes, and thought I was lost before stumbling upon it tucked around a corner on Deck 7. Inside, the 40-person venue offered a laid-back alternative to other more boisterous nightlife options.
On Deck 9, the ship’s buffet-like venue, The Eatery, gives way to narrower hallways toward the aft with backlit wood paneling and benches. At the end, they open back up to reveal specialty restaurants The Catch by Rudi and The Butcher’s Block by Dario (from Princess’ head of culinary arts, Rudi Sodamin, and in partnership with famed butcher Dario Cecchini, respectively).
Even the multi-configuration Princess Arena felt cozier than its near-1,000-guest capacity would suggest. I sat in the second-to-last row of my section for a performance by the vocal group ODY·C and was still close enough to see clearly.
3. The line leans into family-friendly activities
Part of Sun Princess’ expanded footprint has been used to broaden the line’s family offerings.
Park19, a new space on the ship’s top decks, features a variety of activities in an open-air setting. Saviss said the line worked to balance the interests of core customers and a growing family market “and make sure we're prioritizing spaces that everybody can enjoy.”
“There are some attractions that I think naturally, at first blush, people would say, ‘Oh, it's just for kids,’ but actually, the space is really comprehensive,” she said. “Our attractions are available for many different levels of ability and mobility.”
Those include Coastal Climb, an obstacle course that culminates in 360-degree views from The Lookout observation deck (the highest point accessible to guests on the ship, also reachable via elevator) and The Net ropes course.
On Sea Breeze, billed as the first Rollglider on a cruise ship, passengers will glide along the outer edges of the ship on an electric track (the ride will also be ADA-accessible, though Saviss said some mobility is required for maneuvering into the seat).
It’s as close as the ship gets to an amusement park (Princess’ version). “We're not running the rat race, if you will, of like, who can do it bigger, better,” Saviss said. “If you want to just have a really incredible bird's-eye view of Sun Princess, and in and around where the ship is sailing, you can do that. But there is an option to push a little lever while you're riding it and dial up the speed a bit faster, and then it does become a bit more thrilling.”
The ride was not yet available when I was on board, as the line moved through a testing, certification and training process, but is expected to open on April 27. Sun Princess’ original launch was delayed with the cruise line citing “additional technical work” needed at the shipyard, which pushed back the opening of some onboard amenities.
When is the best time to take a cruise?: We broke it down by region.
There is also a hammock area to chill when guests need a break, a recreational court that can host activities from pingpong to morning meditation, a jogging track and more. Elsewhere on board, guests will find the Firefly Park kids club and hangout spaces Neon Grove and The Underground for tweens and teens, respectively.
