THE EXPERIENCE
Vegas Action. Alaska Views.
Be part of history on the maiden voyage of Poker Player Cruises. We are taking over the Ruby Princess for 10 days of great poker action and bucket-list sightseeing.
Leaving from San Francisco means your vacation starts the moment you step on the pier—no flights to Seattle, no shuttles to Vancouver. Just sail under the Golden Gate Bridge and settle in for the best poker games of your life.
With four full sea days and four great ports, this itinerary is perfectly balanced for players of all skill levels. Enjoy the cash games while the ocean goes by, play our signature tournaments on sea days, and still have plenty of time to explore the glaciers and gold rush towns of Alaska.

Poker Room hours are subject to maritime law. We open approximately 45 minutes after leaving a port.
