A recent blog had some great information on Alaska cruise deals that have been recently announced. While the site is targeted at folks living in the Pacific Northwest, these discounts can be great for everyone.

First up is a 7 night Alaska cruise on Princess Cruises’ Voyage of the Glaciers. You can travel in either direction for an incredibly low price of only $372.

Another great 7 night option is with Carnival Cruise Lines’ Carnival Spirit, and this one even includes a free private balcony upgrade for all ocean view cabins. At just $599, this is a fantastic deal.

If you’re looking for a longer Alaska cruise, Princess Cruises also has an 11 night option on their Diamond, Sapphire, Coral and Island ships. Priced at $867, you’ll end up paying less than $80 a day.

All of these Alaska cruise deals do not include taxes, which will add to the cost. Regardless, these are by far some of the most aggressive discounts of the season.

Alaska cruise favorite Princess Cruises has donated an impressive $100,000 to the University of Alaska Fairbanks to support its Marine Advisory Program.  The program helps local communities use, conserve and manage the ocean resources that are essential to their economic survival.  The gift will help support the Marine Advisory Program in the nine coastal cities in which it operates over a period of three years.

Princess Cruises has a long tradition of supporting local Alaska communities and Alaska environmental protection.  It’s always nice to see one of the premier Alaska cruise lines step forward to partner with the local community in such a meaningful way.  Active sponsorship of environmental conservation is one of the best methods to preserve the local beauty that makes Alaska such an attractive destination to visitors from around the world.
