The largest tidewater glacier in North America, Hubbard Glacier has been moving its mass towards the ocean at a rate faster than most of its kind. Towering above the water over 30 stories, the glacier often calves 100-foot chunks of ice into the ocean. What lies beneath the waves is almost as impressive, where ice plunges 1,200 feet beneath the surface. This 30-mile waterway is surrounded by cliffs, valleys and dozens of waterfalls.

With 84 calls to Glacier Bay in 2023, 74% of the line’s Alaska itineraries feature this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once again, the Ruby Princess will sail out of San Francisco, California, on two different 10 itineraries, which include ports of call such as Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, Alaska, and Victoria, British Columbia. It was the first ship of the Royal Class, the largest class of ships in the Princess fleet, providing cruisers with lots of amenities and venues onboard. Part of the Royal class of ships, the ship first sailed in 2017 and was originally designed to sail from Shanghai and has many unique offerings, such as a classic Chinese dining venue from acclaimed chef Richard Chen.
