Sailing with Jeff Corwin, Princess Cruises Nature & Adventure Ambassador
Learn more about Alaska’s rich wildlife and conservation efforts while cruising with Princess Cruises. On a September 2023 cruise, guests can meet Jeff Corwin, Princess Cruises’ Nature and Adventure Ambassador, one of the country’s leading environmentalists. On a seven-day cruise aboard Sapphire Princess, the wildlife conservationist and biologist will be a special guest.
The Alaska cruise to look out for is the September 6 departure of the Voyage of the Glaciers itinerary, sailing from Vancouver, British Columbia to Anchorage, Alaska.
About the Sapphire Princess cruise
Passengers on the seven-day Sapphire Princess cruise will have the opportunity to meet and interact with Corwin onboard. During the sail, he will deliver environment-related talks in the ship’s Princess Theater. Meanwhile, he will also host exclusive shore excursions in three ports of call, namely Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan.
Moreover, meet-and-greet photo opportunities will be available with Corwin, including a dining event hosted by the wildlife and conservation expert. During this dining experience, guests will enjoy Princess Cruises’ Wild for Alaska Seafood menu. The delicious dining choice was first introduced in the spring of 2022 and offers a selection of locally-sourced and sustainable seafood dishes.
About the Ocean Treks Project
Corwin’s presence on the sailing represents an expansion of the cruise line’s video project, Ocean Treks Conservation Connections. The project was first launched in April 2022 on YouTube and the weekly series is co-hosted by Corwin and Princess Cruises’ President John Padgett.
Meanwhile, the project focuses on wildlife conservation and sustainability and environmental management. Moreover, the series reveals how the cruise line is promoting sustainability and the importance of conservation around the world.
With 28 episodes, the series addresses a variety of topics where the cruise line is committing itself to protecting the environment. In fact, the series was inspired by the Emmy-winning Ocean Treks with Jeff Corwin TV show which ran for four seasons and explored global destinations.
Speaking of the cruise opportunity, Corwin said, “My most favorite place to explore is Alaska because it’s unmatched when it comes to adventure, animals and incredible exploration,” adding:
I’m beyond excited to be hosting this special cruise so I can personally share my experiences, offer insights on watching out for bald eagles, whales and bears, and meet adventure seekers like me who love new discoveries and also share in my dedication for conservation so Alaska can be enjoyed for generations to come.
