princess cruises baked alaska

What is baked Alaska, and why is it paraded around cruise ships?

Baked Alaska is the cruise equivalent of "The Price Is Right" — a decades-old phenomenon that has, inexplicably, been able to withstand the test of time, with or without Bob Barker.

And when it comes to baked Alaska, cruise ships are a prime place to find the quirky hot-meets-cold dish. Yet do not think, dear reader, that you will simply order this dessert like any other. Oh no. A zealous group of waiters in costumes, having torched the dessert so that it's literally aflame, will parade it around the dining room until a piece comes to rest at your table.

So, what, exactly, is baked Alaska, and how do you make it (should you be daring enough to try)? Which cruise lines host baked Alaska parades, and why is it still such a popular tradition on cruise ships? TPG answers all your burning questions here.

What is baked Alaska?

Baked Alaska is a dessert that consists of a sponge or pound cake base with an ice cream center and a topping of meringue. The dish got its name because you're baking something that is traditionally served cold. (Ice cream = Alaska in this metaphor. Get it?)

If you've ever tried to make baked Alaska, you know it's a tricky feat. Because the dessert's bottom and top layers both have to be baked, its perfectly intact -- if made correctly -- ice cream center is a fascinating and tasty mystery. How does the preparer keep it from melting?

The answer is in the meringue, which acts ingeniously as insulation between the heat source -- either an oven or a blowtorch -- and the ice cream just below the meringue.

Where did baked Alaska come from?

As is the case with many great culinary breakthroughs, baked Alaska's origins are murky. Some sources claim it was invented by Charles Ranhofer, a chef at Delmonico's in New York City in the 1850s. Others say it was created in 1867 by Chef Antoine Alciatore at his New Orleans restaurant Antoine's in celebration of the United States' acquisition of the 49th state that year.

Which cruise lines serve baked Alaska?

Despite its mysterious past, this delectable treat has become a staple on many cruise lines' ships, including those in the Holland America Line , Seabourn and Carnival Cruise Line fleets, to name a few.

In fact, Carnival is known for its baked Alaska parades, which happen once per cruise in the main dining rooms. Waiters carry flaming trays of the sweet treat and weave a route around the tables as cruisers twirl their napkins in the air. It's a bit hokey, but passengers love this throwback to the early days of cruising.

How do you make baked Alaska?

Now, for the most important part: how to make baked Alaska.

As it turns out, baked Alaska is a bit complicated, so I looked to the Food Network for help. More detailed instructions can be found on the network's website , but here's the quick and dirty version. Below that, if you're searching for a tried-and-true cruise line baked Alaska recipe, you can also find Carnival's version in the included photos.

Baked Alaska recipe

Ice cream cake ingredients.

• Vegetable oil.
• 1 pint fruit sorbet.
• 1 pint vanilla ice cream.
• 1 pint chocolate ice cream.
• 1 cup chocolate wafer crumbs.
• 1 loaf pound cake.

Meringue ingredients

• 1 cup egg whites (about 6 large eggs).
• 1 pinch cream of tartar.
• 1 cup sugar.

Alternate scoops of ice cream and sorbet in a metal bowl greased with oil and lined with plastic wrap, saving half of the chocolate ice cream for later. Cover with plastic wrap and press gently to remove gaps between scoops. Remove plastic, sprinkle with wafer crumbs and recover. Freeze about 30 minutes.

Remove the wrap, and add the remaining chocolate ice cream. Cut the cake into 1/2-inch slices, and arrange the slices over the ice cream. Cover with fresh plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 more hours.

Make the meringue by whipping the egg whites and cream of tartar with a mixer until foamy. Beat in sugar until the whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks.

Remove the plastic wrap from the ice cream bowl, and flip the contents upside down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Remove the lower layer of plastic. Cover the ice cream completely with meringue, making sure the top is thicker than the sides. Freeze for 3 hours.

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Bake until the meringue is golden. Alternately, used a blowtorch to brown it. Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, and put any leftovers back in the freezer.

From what I remember the menu said it was:

Vanilla Vodka Creme de Cacao white Raspberry liqueur

Didn't mentioned what measures they used (but think of the fun you'll have getting the right balance).

Alaska Cruise Experience

Alaska Glaciers

One of the biggest reasons people visit.

Glaciers feel alive. They groan, creak and shudder on their march to the sea, punctuated by the booms and crashes of "white thunder" — a sound that echoes across the water when ice calves into the ocean below. On an Alaska cruise, let us show you Glacier Bay National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier, College Fjord or Hubbard Glacier.

Alaska Wildlife

Untamed, just like alaska.

Alaska is home to a rich array of wildlife, from the famous Big Five animals that live in Denali National Park — grizzly bears, wolves, moose, Dall sheep and caribou — to bald eagles and humpback whales that migrate through the Inside Passage. On a cruise to Alaska, live a nature lover's dream in the land where guests can catch postcard-worthy sights.

Learn more about Alaska Wildlife

Alaska Mountains & National Parks

National treasures.

With national parks and four of North America’s tallest mountains, Alaska’s wilderness has been preserved for generations. Denali National Park is larger than Vermont and home to the highest peak on the continent. Meanwhile, Glacier Bay National Park has over 2,000 square miles of glacial coverage. Along with Wrangell-St. Elias and Kenai Fjords, a world of natural wonders awaits on an Alaska cruise or cruisetour.

Learn more about Alaska Mountains & National Parks

Alaska Excursions

Don't just visit this famous land, live it on Alaska excursions. Rush across the snow on a dog sled with a professional musher, fly fish for salmon in fresh rivers and soar over miles of glacial tundra in a helicopter. Watch migrating humpback whales from the deck of a catamaran or Native craftsman carve a traditional totem pole, and expand your Alaska cruise experience.

Alaska Cruise Ports of Call

College Fjord

The Harriman Expedition discovered College Fjord in 1899 and named the towering glaciers after the great East Coast universities of the United States, like the Harvard Glacier. With the largest collection of tidewater glaciers in the world, your scenic Alaska cruise through the fjord will make a lasting memory.

View cruises with College Fjord

Endicott Arm

Endicott Arm is a jewel in Alaska’s crown. This 30-mile waterway is surrounded by cliffs, valleys and dozens of waterfalls. Icebergs and harbor seals decorate the water below while Dawes Glacier soars into the sky above. Revel in the beauty of Mother Nature’s masterpiece and listen closely as the scenery whispers secrets of times long ago during your cruise to Alaska.

Glacier Bay National Park

When you cruise to Alaska with Princess, sail through one of the most iconic locations in the Great Land — Glacier Bay National Park. Listen to Margerie Glacier’s signature crack and boom rumble across the waves. Bring binoculars and scan both the shore and the waves for wildlife like brown bears and migrating whales while Park Rangers teach you the history and geology of the park.

Hubbard Glacier

The largest tidewater glacier in North America, Hubbard Glacier has been moving its mass towards the ocean at a rate faster than most of its kind. Towering above the water over 30 stories, the glacier often calves 100-foot chunks of ice into the ocean. What lies beneath the waves is almost as impressive, where ice plunges 1,200 feet beneath the surface. See it for yourself on an Alaska cruise with Princess.

Icy Strait Point

Icy Strait Point is home to the remote Tlingit village of Hoonah, home to fewer than 800 people and a deep Native history. The nearby Spasski River Valley holds one of the world’s largest populations of brown bears, who are often found hunting for salmon in the rivers. Zipline over the wilderness, watch a tribal dance or kayak in coastal waters to see the wildlife up close during your Alaska cruise vacation.

Juneau is unlike any other city in the United States. With no roads connecting it to the rest of Alaska or North America, it is truly a protected destination. Founded as a gold mining town and now the state’s capital, Juneau has one foot in history and one in the future. Embark on a whale watching tour, or sail past Mendenhall Glacier on an Alaska cruise.

Known for its timber, Ketchikan hosts the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show, where athletes throw, race and chop their way to victory. Explore one of the world’s oldest collection of totem poles at the Totem Pole Heritage Center, or stroll along Creek Street.

Once the gateway to Alaska's Gold Rush, Skagway strikes a dramatic image nestled between the water's edge and mountains. Follow in the footsteps of miners with a ride on a scenic train along the famous White Pass route through coastal mountains. During your Alaska cruise, explore the Yukon's pristine wilderness, pan for gold with professionals or meet sled dog puppies in training.

Valdez is situated in Prince William Sound and serves as the gateway to the interior of Alaska. Often referred to as the "Little Switzerland", Valdez is known for its breathtaking panorama of snow-capped mountains and glaciers. It is also well-known for its role in the transportation of crude oil from the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, which ends in Valdez. Explore the charming waterfront area and take in the flavors of Valdez through culinary experiences at restaurants such as the Valdez Brewery and the Fat Mermaid.

Victoria, B.C.

At first glance many mistake Victoria for an English coastal city or northern European town. Full of greenery, pubs and Victorian architecture, it's difficult to believe that this was a tent city full of rough and tumble miners just 150 years ago. On a cruise to Alaska, explore the Butchart Gardens, tour the pub scene and taste some of the local brews or sail the bay for a whale-watching adventure.

Princess Cruises Offering New Northern Lights Programming on Alaska Voyages

The aurora borealis—also known as the Northern Lights—have mesmerized skygazers for centuries.

Now, Princess Cruises is unveiling new programming designed to help guests learn more about this dazzling celestial spectacle.

This summer, the cruise line is rolling out a new experience called “Voyage to the Stars” as part of its “North to Alaska with Princess” program. Guests who are sailing to Alaska will be able to watch a Northern Lights presentation in the Princess Theater to learn more about this natural phenomenon.

"Each season in Alaska we strive to deliver enriching experiences for our guests to feel immersed in the beauty and local culture of this spectacular destination," says Terry Thornton, chief commercial officer of Princess Cruises. "After receiving our highest guest satisfaction ranking ever last season, we knew we wanted to design elevated programming to further connect our guests to all of the wonders of the 49th state for our 55th anniversary season."

This summer, Princess will offer 158 departures on 14 unique itineraries—its biggest season yet. Travelers will visit 17 destinations on seven ships.

In addition to the new Northern Lights offering, Princess is offering a wide array of activities and activations during trips to No. 49.

The cruise line is also offering salmon cooking demonstrations, a four-course seafood pop-up dining event and 13 new shore excursions.

On land, the cruise line is also rolling out a new geocaching expedition program at its five Princess Wilderness Lodges. Princess is also serving Alaska-themed cocktails, mocktails and appetizers, plus a new Alaska tea experience, cooking demonstrations, cocktail-making classes and more.

This Alaska cruise line “guarantees” a Northern Lights viewing

The immersive experience is on all its Alaska cruises in 2024

Celebrating 55 years of cruising to Alaska, Princess Cruises is rolling out an immersive experience that “guarantees” your Northern Lights viewing—even if it’s just inside the shipboard planetarium. Hopefully, you’ll also see the Aurora Borealis in the real sky, too!

The Voyage to the Stars experience debuts with 2024’s cruise tour season and is part of the North to Alaska with Princess program, which showcases local storytellers, cultural experiences, and Alaskan culture. For the first time ever, guests will enter a planetarium in the ship’s theater for an engaging show with live imagery to get everyone ramped up about the beautiful phenomenon nature offers. Alaska is one of the places where you’re most likely to see the Northern Lights —but the planetarium show is a great precaution in case it’s not the right season or weather to see them. And hey, if your kid is young enough, they may actually think they saw the real thing.

Astrotourists love sky-based phenomena like meteor showers and last month’s total solar eclipse , and the Aurora Borealis is one of the most spectacular things you can ever crane your head back to see. #BucketList, ammirite?

Besides Northern Lights viewing, Princess's Alaska cruises offer five glacier viewing experiences on seven ships and 91 different cruises to Glacier Bay National Park .

Princess Martini Recipes

By touesns , July 29, 2018 in Princess Cruises

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! Here's hoping someone has the recipes for the 2 Martini's that my husband and I had on the Carribean Princess:

Quantum of Solace Martini, and

Skyfall Martini.

At the time the staff wrote the recipes down for us and now that I want to make them, I cannot find the recipes. :(:loudcry:

Here's hoping with my fingers crossed!

Link to comment

Share on other sites.

While I don't have the specific amounts for those two martini's, I do have a photo of the menu from the ship with the ingredients listed. These are two of my favorites from the Bond Collection!

Quantum of Solace: Absolute Citron, Chambord, and grapefruit juice

Skyfall: Stolichnaya, Triple Sec and Blue Curaçao

Hope this helps!

Do you happen to have the "Dunes"?- my wife's go-to

I do not have the Dunes Martini recipe and it is not listed on the photos of the drink menus I have however I searched (Yahoo) for Dunes martini recipe and found this (post #7): https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=847246

(The following was copied/pasted from post #7 of the above posting: I just got off the Pacific Sun and they had the Dunes Martini... My mum had many I got a photo of the ingredents but not the amounts...

Malibu (coconut rum)

Midori (melon liqueur)

banana liqueur

lemon juice

pineapple juice

The best one I had was the toasted almond. Yum...

I do not have the Dunes Martini recipe and it is not listed on the photos of the drink menus I have however I searched (Yahoo) for Dunes martini recipe and found this (post #7): https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=847246   (The following was copied/pasted from post #7 of the above posting: I just got off the Pacific Sun and they had the Dunes Martini...

Thanks - looks like in post # 8, basically it's equal amounts of each - 30ml

We bought a deck of playing cards at Crooner's with martini recipes on them.

the Dunes recipe is as follows

3/4oz of coconut rum

3/4oz of melon liqueur

3/4oz of banana liqueur

1/2oz of pineapple juice

1/2oz of sweet and sour

shake vigorously with ice, stain and serve in a pre chill martini glass.

A dunes is my favourite drink in Crooners. It will also be the first drink I order when we board the Sapphire in 2 weeks time.

I also have a deck of the playing cards and neither the skyfall or

Quantum of Solace Martini's are amongst the recipes in the pack. Dunes is also not one of them I wrote to Princess and they sent me it.

Sorry, checked my martini cards and neither of these is in the deck :(

neverbeenhere

If you don’t care for a real martini try a Vesper.

Next time you cruise ask the staff at Crooner's if they have any of their special decks of playing cards. There is a recipe on every one. :)

Tanquery 10 was the all star I had on Princess. Can’t remember the recipe, other than Tangueray of course!
