Filed in archive Cruises by Greg Cruey on January 18, 2009
alaska's tourism industry is taking a hit during the recession. And to try and keep arrivals flowing in the summer, the Princess Cruises has slashed prices according to the Associated Press.
Cruise ships bring roughly 1 million visitors to Alaska each year. To get them here this summer, cruise ship lines are discounting tickets by as much as 40 percent.

John Binkley, executive director of the Alaska Cruise Association, said the discounting is because of some of the worst sales cruise lines have encountered.
Summer cruises to Alaska offer some of North America's most startlingly beautify scenery.

Last year, the cheapest Alaska cruise offered by the major lines was $799 plus fees, according to the Alaska Tourism Industry Association. This winter, Princess Cruises is offering summer cruises for as low as $475 plus fees.
