Experience The Magic Of Alaska With Princess Cruises’ Spectacular Float In The Rose Parade

Princess Cruises unveils Star Princess float in the Rose Parade, marking the start of its 2026 Alaska season with unforgettable journeys.

The wonder of Alaska was captured by Princess Cruises on their float, “Together in the Magic of Alaska,” which debuted at the 137th annual Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. The float commemorates Princess Cruises’ newest ship, the Star Princess, and celebrates the Alaska Cruise Season of 2026. The float captured the natural beauty of Alaska, while also symbolizing the newest and biggest expansion for Princess Cruises Alaska cruise programs.

The float is 55 feet long and 21 feet tall, and is an artistic masterpiece both visually and through the craftsmanship of the materials. It was created with over 300,000 flowers, showcasing the majesty of the coastal waters and the wilderness of Alaska. There was a design made with wildlife and foliage of Alaska with detailed otters, eagles, and whales. The float was created through intricate craftsmanship and animatronics, allowing for an immersive and lifelike cruise experience.

The textures and colors of the float presented by Princess Cruises captured the Alaskan Wilderness. The different colors showcased the contrasts of the Alaskan environment. The vibrant blue and white shades represented the Alaskan water and the snow-capped mountains. The blue tweedia flowers displayed the legacy of the Alaskan forget-me-not flowers, and the thoughtful placements of the irises, orchids, and hydrangeas captured the essence of the Alaskan Wilderness.

The Magic in Teamwork Theme

Princess Cruises uses the Alaska float as a tribute to the Alaskan community. The Rose Parade’s 2026 theme, The Magic in Teamwork, acknowledges Princess Cruises’ promises of collaboration and teamwork. Marie Lee, Princess Cruises’ Chief Marketing Officer, said the float was a tribute to the Princess’s loyal crew and the Alaskan mentors, naturalists, and storytellers who shape the guests’ experiences. The Magic in Teamwork aligns with the attributes of Princess Cruises. They are a hardworking and committed team that strives to create extraordinary travel experiences. The float also recognized Princess Cruises’ many years of service in Alaska and the legacy the company has built as a primary provider in the region. During the celebration, four members of the Princess Cruises team, two from the shoreside offices and two from the shipboard crew, rode the float. This was to demonstrate the teamwork and collaboration that goes into providing service to the guests. Besides the float, Princess Cruises had a total of twelve performers who, at the parade, danced to a modern version of the theme song from The Love Boat. This also demonstrated the legacy of Princess Cruises in the industry.
