Jan 24, 2007
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (January 24, 2007) - Whether exploring Juneau in a chauffeur-driven Hummer, soaring over Misty Fjords National Monument in a private floatplane, or exploring the historic highlights of Skagway in a vintage Cadillac, Princess passengers have a variety of new ways to personalize their Alaska shore experience.
Seven new private touring options debut for the 2007 season, offering unique opportunities for visitors who want to explore Alaska on their own terms. Princess offers custom adventures where passengers can travel in style in their own Hummer, floatplane, open-air boat, stretch SUV, catamaran or classic car.
"Our guests have become more diverse than ever, and these private adventures offer outstanding new options for the independent-minded traveler," said Charlie Ball, president of Princess Tours. "We're fortunate to have very entrepreneurial Alaskan business partners who love to work with us each year to come up with new and novel ways to explore some of Alaska's most special places."
The new private excursions are part of Princess' extensive Adventures Ashore program, which offers a total of 171 Alaska tour options in 2007, including 21 new excursions debuting this season.
Private excursion options include a Custom Hummer Adventure in Juneau or Ketchikan; an Exclusive Ketchikan by Land option with transportation in a private stretch SUV; Exclusive Ketchikan by Sea with a private 20-foot custom-built open-air skiff; Exclusive Ketchikan by Air with travel by private floatplane; Skagway's Custom Classic Cars where passengers will explore in a restored vintage Cadillac; and the Alaska Up-Close Exclusive Cruise Adventure in Sitka while sailing aboard a new 30-foot catamaran. Each tour includes the services of a private guide/chauffeur who will lend local expertise and suggest possible routes. Tours can accommodate between four and 10 guests, depending on the excursion.
