Princess Cruises Celebrates 25 Years of Shore Power Leadership in Juneau
Twenty-five years ago, Princess Cruises helped transform the future of cruising in Alaska by becoming the first cruise line to connect a ship to Juneau’s hydroelectric shore power system.
Today, that pioneering partnership continues to serve as a model for ports around the world while delivering lasting environmental and community benefits.
Since 2001, Princess Cruises, the City and Borough of Juneau and Alaska Electric Light & Power (AEL&P) have worked together to connect cruise ships to Juneau’s local hydroelectric power grid, allowing ships to shut down their engines while in port and significantly reduce emissions.
What began as a groundbreaking initiative has since become a global best practice, inspiring shore power adoption at 41 cruise ports around the world.
