The Brief

We’ve all seen plenty of white ships next to glaciers and bear images. But Princess Cruises wanted something deeper. As the leader in Alaska, the brand set out to create content that matched their market position: bold, immersive, and emotionally resonant. Instead of skimming the surface, WABU brought the human experience to the forefront, capturing real moments of connection on Princess-led excursions by helicopter and bush plane.

A Grand Slam! The Alaska production is far and away the best content I’ve seen come from a land based shoot in all my years.
