Princess Cruises, based in Santa Clarita, received top honors as the “Best Cruise Line in Alaska” in the annual Travel Weekly Readers’ Choice Awards. This marks the fifth year in a row, and the eighth time, that the company has been recognized with this distinction by the magazine’s travel agent readers for its Alaska cruises and cruise tours. “We’re delighted and honored that the true travel experts – travel agents – continue to recognize our Alaska cruise program each year,” Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises executive vice president, said in a statement. Princess has offered tours to the 49th state for more than 40 years. Tourists can choose from a variety of cruise tours ranging from three to nine-day stays with accommodations at five Princess-owned and operated scenic wilderness lodges and inland travel by glass-domed railcars to Denali National Park, one of the state’s top attractions.
