Check your emails, run a hot bath, undergo a divine spa treatment or simply relax poolside with a fruity cocktail. Some cruises really invite the eye to a collection of unusual sights that can be enjoyed in double the time of a flight holiday. Read on to discover the 7 cruise wonders of the world as discovered by Princess Cruises.

Shiretoko Peninsula, Japan

The isolated beaches and rugged forests of the Shiretoko Peninsula can only be accessed by boat or foot, however the dense forests are home to brown bears, so maybe the latter isn’t such a great idea! A scenic cruise features majestic cliffs, dramatic waterfalls and wildlife encounters such as foxes and deer.

Glacier Bay, Alaska

Witness the extraordinary natural wonders at Glacier Bay at the solid glaciers descend and come crashing down into the calm waters. During the winter the surrounding mountains are picturesque with snowcaps with bold white vistas. During the summer, the snow melts from the mountains and reveals tricking waterfalls and vibrant green vegetation.
