Dreaming of glaciers and Alaska's stunning scenery from Columbus? Princess Cruises has some incredible itineraries that can take you there. While departures aren't directly from Ohio, we can help you figure out the best flights and cruise packages that work for your schedule. Think about when you want to go – the summer months offer longer daylight and warmer weather, but the shoulder seasons in May and September can provide better value. The type of stateroom you choose and the length of your voyage are key factors in the overall price. We’re here to guide you through it all. Don't hesitate to pick up the phone for personalized advice.
What affects the price
When you start looking at cruise prices, keep in mind that the total depends on a few moving parts. The cabin category is the biggest factor; choosing a suite or a balcony room will always cost more than an interior stateroom. Timing is just as important, as sailing during school holidays or peak vacation weeks usually increases the fare. Plus, you have to consider whether you want an all-inclusive package that covers drinks and Wi-Fi, or if you prefer to pay for those as you go. We can get you the exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
