Return to Alaska

Princess Cruises has published a new video about Alaska that is quite different from your normal travelogue. While most of travel videos show you the top sights and invite you to come to the destination, this one seems to be saying, "Come back." This one seems to be created for people who have already been there.

"The Heart of Alaska" is the first video that was produced in-house by Princess in a series about their major destinations. There is no description or travel information accompanying the gorgeous photography. The complete dialogue is Alaskan citizens telling you what they love about Alaska. It's quite a departure from the norm.

The video will be shown on Princess ships in Alaska and in the Princess Wilderness Lodges in the state. It will also be available for purchase only onboard the Princess ships in Alaska.

The complete story appeared in the May 22, 2008, edition of Cruise News Daily.
