ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Just as Alaska’s tourism season heats up, Princess Cruises says it will close one of its five lodges in the state this summer because of staffing shortages.
The Copper River Princess Wilderness Lodge will close on June 17, according to a brief statement provided by Negin Kamali, a spokeswoman with Princess Cruises.
It had opened on May 19 for the first time in more than two years, after the COVID-19 pandemic halted major cruise sailings to Southcentral Alaska until this summer.
