Cruise line fishing for customers
Specialization of cruises continues for specific groups as Princess introduces a new Alaska option just for fishermen (or women) as part of next year’s offerings.
“This new 14-day land/sea vacation includes special excursions just for anglers, with opportunities to cast their lines in some of the state’s premiere fishing spots,” says the cruise line.
Participants can try their hand at salmon fishing in the Inside Passage from Ketchikan, bottom fishing for halibut near Juneau, and river fishing on two Alaskan rivers – the Kenai and Talkeetna – on excursions from Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge and Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge.
“Fishing is such an iconic part of the Alaska experience, that it made sense to offer a special tour especially for those who want to focus their time on the sport,” said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises’ executive vice president. “We include a variety of fishing experiences so our passengers can get a taste of the array of fishing opportunities found throughout the state.”
In addition to fishing, cruise-goers will also find scenic travel via Princess Rail and a Natural History Tour in Denali National Park.
There are several fishing options.
