By popular demand, we are heading to Alaska far the second year in a row.  2024 will have three special School4Santa sessions aboard Princess Cruises.  The first is in March to the Western Caribbean.   The second is this cruise to Alaska and the third will be a special 12-day cruise to the British Isles, in Late June or early July.

Our second cruise is one of the favorites for both Santas and Mrs. Claus . . . ALASKA!  We are set for next May 15 – 22 on the Grand Princess!  This is Voyage A415 and our School4Santas group code is TP2.
