Sailing Alaska’s Newest Giant: A Family’s Seven‑Day Adventure on Star Princess

A week aboard Princess Cruises’ newest ship, Star Princess, proved that Alaska’s wild beauty can be paired with modern comfort. The 4,300‑passenger vessel offered a smooth ride, fast Wi‑Fi, and a Medallion that unlocked cabins and tracked guests. The family spent days at a casino, had haircuts, walked on a glacier with NorthStar Helicopters, hiked a rainforest, and watched whales and eagles. Dining ranged from lobster‑filled main courses to an interactive teppanyaki show, all included in the base fare, with an optional Premier package adding specialty restaurants and beverages. The cabin’s fluffy bedding, automatic lights, and twice‑daily housekeeping turned the ship into a home base for exploration.
