Sport Fishing

This is unlike any other fishing expedition you've ever been on before. Fish cruise-ship style aboard luxury boats with kitchens, cabins and bathrooms. You'll be picked up from your hotel or cruise ship and ushered through parts of scenic Alaska before reaching your dock. Day and half-day tours are available. Not a fisherman (or fisherwoman)? Use this opportunity to photograph eagles, sea lions, and humpback and killer whales, all just feet away.

Fishing licenses are available onboard the fishing vessel. Snacks or lunch is provided, depending on the length of the fishing excursion. Best of all, your catch can be processed, frozen and shipped to your home for an additional charge.

Fly Fishing

Take flight before you set sail! You'll embark on two adventures in one as licensed seaplane captain and crew whisk you away to secluded rivers and streams for a day of fly fishing. During your seaplane flight, you'll enter the Inside Passage - home to brown and black bear, moose, deer and other wildlife that can frequently be spotted from the air.

If you book a cruise to Alaska on Princess Cruises, you'll have the option of participating in this truly unique excursion. Princess describes this tour by saying, "An experienced bush pilot flies you to a remote stream or tidal estuary aboard a floatplane. Depending on the season, you may pursue one of four varieties of Pacific salmon or Dolly Varden and cutthroat trout. Whether you're an experienced or novice angler, your guide is available to assist you.

"In addition to excellent fishing opportunities, wildlife sightings are common. As a conservation measure, fishing is conducted on a catch-and-release basis." All gear and equipment are provided.

Alaska fishing is an excellent getaway for families and other groups or as an annual "guy's adventure." When you add the stunning beauty to the action of world-class fishing, you'll have vacation memories you won't forget anytime soon.
