Royal Princess - Alaska Inside Passage from Seattle
Royal Princess spends the 2026 Alaska season homeported in Seattle, sailing weekend-departure 7-night Inside Passage loops with a full day of scenic cruising in Glacier Bay National Park. The route pairs the classic trio of Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan with an evening call in Victoria, BC before returning to Puget Sound.

What Travelers Say About Royal Princess
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Royal Princess sailing. Based on 1,300 discussions.
Royal Princess is the 2013 lead ship of Princess's Royal class, the vessel that introduced the now-signature SeaWalk glass-bottom walkway cantilevered 28 feet over the ocean and the line's largest three-deck Piazza atrium. It carries about 3,560 guests in a refined, classic-cruising style aimed at travelers who love sea days, live music and a social atmosphere that stops short of being a floating waterpark. Compared with its near-identical 2014 sister Regal Princess, Royal is the original and slightly older of the pair, so it can feel a touch more worn even after refurbishments, but the core layout and amenities are essentially the same.
What People Love
- The signature SeaWalk glass-floored walkway juts 28 feet over the side, a unique photo-op
- Movies Under the Stars comes with blankets, popcorn and warm cookies for a free evening tradition
- The Sanctuary is about 20% larger than on older Princess ships, with cabanas and attentive service
Common Complaints
- As the 2013 lead ship it's the oldest Royal-class vessel and shows more wear
- The all-glass three-deck Piazza echoes, carrying evening noise throughout
- The main pool deck is dominated by the loud movie/sports screen
