Explore Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska
with Princess Cruises

With its grand vistas and boundless landscapes, Alaska's Wrangell-St. Elias National Park exceeds even the most imaginative expectations because of its distinction as being the nation's largest.

Stretching along the Canadian border in scenic south central Alaska, this robust land is quilted with wandering rivers, lakes, glaciers and some of the most dramatic mountain ranges to be found in North America. In fact, nine of the 16 highest peaks in the country are here, including the park's namesakes: Mount St. Elias and Mount Wrangell - the latter an active volcano that last erupted in 1911.


  • Adventure, History and Nature:
    With so much space - a whopping 13.2 million acres in all - there is a wide array of activities and opportunities to explore. River rafting, sport fishing, horseback riding and mountain biking are just some of the options sure to appeal to the adventurer in you. For a more relaxed pace, take a stroll along one of the many meandering trails, or tour the historic Kennicott Copper Mine. You can even see a portion of the legendary Alaskan pipeline.

    Covering 700 square miles, this massive expanse of ice is as much as one mile thick at points, and receives an average annual snowfall of 30 feet. This unrelenting blanket of white is punctured only by the peaks of high, rocky mountains, known as "nunataks," which are best viewed at the crest of the steep, 4.5 mile-long Harding Icefield Trail.

  • Wilderness Retreat:
    Whatever your pleasure, your itinerary can be planned in front of a roaring fire at our newest Alaskan outpost, the exquisite Copper River Princess Wilderness Lodge. Nestled on a bluff near the entrance to the park, this exclusive retreat is staffed by friendly and knowledgeable members of the Princess Cruises family who are experts at mapping out customized park tours based on your interests.

  • Sightseeing by Land or Air:
    Two main roads travel deep into the heart of the park and provide easy access to a number of remote points of interest. But if you've ever dreamed of soaring over treetops like an eagle, a 'flightseeing' tour of the park may be your ticket. There's certainly no shortage of breathtaking sights to see, with more than 150 glaciers making their way down the slopes of the three mountain ranges that converge here.

    Come explore Alaska and Wrangell-St. Elias, the nation's largest park, with Princess Cruises!
