luggage and Princess Alaska Land ?Cruise Tour

[Brucetarian]

Can someone explain the luggage info regarding the land /cruise tour with Princess? If you begin with the land tour , can you really only have one suitcase with you?  Thanks !!!

On the land part they prefer one suitcase per person ( which gets trucked to your next night's lodge), plus a small carry-On you keep with you for essentials. I have read that if you kick up a big enough fuss you can get extra luggage tags for your land luggage. But we had no problem packing enough clothes  in one piece of luggage each. It was mainly jeans, shirts and sweatshirts. Our extra luggage pieces with things like dinner clothes and swimsuits we put in suitcases that were sent directly to the ship. I hope this answers your question

We did a Princess land tour starting in Fairbanks with one piece of luggage each.  One was large, probably a 26" model, the other was a 21" Delsey.  We also had shoulder bags for essentials like medicines, travel docs, passports, electronics, camera, etc.

 

We had no issues packing layered clothing as well as boots and parkas in the large bag - even though it was August we needed the heavier clothing on glaciers and while cruising some of the fiords.

 

We found that there is no need for dress up clothing on an Alaskan cruise tour.
