Emerald Princess is part of Princess Cruises, which uses the Princess Cruises App (MedallionClass) as the primary source for daily schedules, activity details, and venue information. Times, locations, and any last‑minute changes for Alaska sea days appear in the app and in the printed daily planner delivered to staterooms.

Guests can review the day’s program, check opening hours, and see which activities are best suited to cooler Alaska weather, such as indoor lectures, live music, and enrichment presentations. For official app information and download links, visit:
