Ruby Princess Overview

The Ruby Princess is a classic cruise ship with a diverse offering of cuisine, recreation, and entertainment perfect for cruisers of all ages. Families can especially enjoy a cruise aboard the Ruby Princess, a sister ship to the Emerald Princess also sailing Alaskan waters. The ship has three main dining areas, one offering traditional cruise dinners with two nightly seatings, and two offering Princess' flexible Anytime Dining. Evenings offer endless entertainment options, ranging from Club Fusion theme nights, to drinks and dancing at Skywalkers Nightclub, to full scale productions in the Princess Theater. Nearly two-thirds of the cabins have balconies, a plus for enjoying Alaska's Inside Passage.

The Ruby Princess sails on a seven-day Inside Passage cruise roundtrip from Seattle, with a visit to Glacier Bay National Park. Ports of call include Ketchikan, Skagway, and two extended shore visits to Victoria, BC, and Juneau, Alaska's capital.
