Princess Cruises husky puppy program
While cute husky puppies probably aren’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a luxury cruise, we’re sure you’ll agree they sound like a welcome addition!
Princess Cruises is giving passengers on its Alaska itineraries the chance to meet these adorable sled-dogs-in-waiting as part of the line’s North to Alaska program.
This award-winning program debuted last year, and aims to bring local personalities, culture and cuisine on-board Princess ships, to provide a more immersive experience.
Puppies in the Piazza allows guests on select cruises to pet and take photos of the adorable puppies, as well as meeting the dog handlers who will eventually be preparing these cute little balls of fur for a lifetime of dog mushing. The handlers will also answer any questions you might have about the future sled dogs, although you may be a little disappointed with answer you get when you ask, “Can I take this sled dog home?”
In addition to the Puppies in the Piazza experience, Princess Cruises is also offering passengers the opportunity to enjoy their own catch of the day for dinner. A range a fishing experiences will now be offered, allowing passengers to bring back a well-earned catch and have it expertly prepared by the Princess’ culinary team.
And, as if that wasn’t enough, Princess is also going to be offering a unique meet the Mountain Climber experience, which gives cruise passengers the opportunity to hear gripping, first-hand accounts from mountain climbers who have conquered the famous Denali Mountains.
Climbers will present thrilling photos of their experience in Hudson Theatre at Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge, and after the presentation you’ll be able to meet the climbers and ask them any questions. You can also go outside for a glimpse at one of the retired airplanes which is very similar to the one the climbers used to transport people to and from base camp.
Princess Cruises is currently offering the North to Alaska experience on the Crown Princess, Star Princess, Ruby Princess, Island Princess, Coral Princess and Grand Princess.
These six ships will be offering more than 120 Alaska cruise departures in 2016.
We have to say our favourite part of the North to Alaska program has to be those gorgeous huskies though, they’d almost be worth the price of the cabin alone.
