Check datesWhy Princess owns this port
San Francisco is a Princess town by history and by fit. The line's mid-size ships suit Pier 27's single berth, its older and more scenery-focused passenger base matches the routes, and its Alaska operation, with more Glacier Bay permits than almost anyone, turns the 10 night round trip into the Bay Area's no-flight Alaska option. The Hawaii loops work the same trick: 15 nights, four islands, zero airports.
Princess also seasons the schedule with short coastal sailings, wine country themed runs to Santa Barbara and San Diego, and Mexican Riviera trips in winter. These sell largely to Northern California locals and are among the easiest cruises in the country to board: drive up the Embarcadero, drop your bags, sail under the bridge by dinner.
Booking notes for Pier 27
- Alaska Glacier Bay departures sell out first every year, book at schedule release for peak summer.
- Hawaii round trips price lowest in the April to May and September to October crossings.
- There is no dedicated cruise parking at Pier 27: budget $30 per day for Embarcadero garages or arrive by rideshare.
- Princess past-guest (Captain's Circle) rates and California resident rates frequently undercut public fares. We check both on every quote.
