Alaska Soft Launch💙🛳️🔥 Royal Princess

03/23/2026

I’m really pleased to share that this April I’ll be joining Royal Princess for the 2026 Alaska season as Cruise Director.

Alaska is one of those destinations that stays with you. After experiencing it last year onboard Sapphire Princess, I’m genuinely excited to be heading back, this time on Royal Princess, for another incredible season.

From glacier days and wildlife sightings to long scenic cruising and unforgettable ports, Alaska is unlike anywhere else. It’s a privilege to be part of it again and I’m looking forward to welcoming guests onboard for what promises to be a very special season.

See you in Alaska.
