Photo showing Canadian Pacific Railways "pocket luxury liner", the T.E.V. Princess Patricia, the first Alaska Cruise Ship to visit Kitimat on a regular run. The welcome planned for her arrival and arrangements for her passengers and crew to have an interesting day in the Kitimat area are the result of three months planning by a special Kitimat Chamber of Commerce committee which has co-ordinated details with Evergreen Tours' director, George Shaw, the CPR, Captain H.J. Murray and officers of the Princess Patricia, the Aluminum Company of Canada, Lakelse Hotsprings, Farwest Bus Lines, and local merchants. The ship's passengers will be greeted on their arrival by the committee, Reeve Sam Lindsay, Kitimat Pipe Band and will visit Alcan's Kitimat Works, Lakelse Hotsprings, and in all will spend nearly 12 hours in Kitimat before heading to Vancouver.

Photograph of the greeting of the passengers on board the Princess Patricia where Mr. and Mrs. Ford Knott's mother was one of the 320 passengers on board the ship when she made her first call of the 1968 season. The ship will continue to call every eighth day during the summer on the return trip from a cruise along the coast from Vancouver to Alaskan Points. While the ship was in port, the officers were entertained at a no-host luncheon at the Kitimat Gordon Hotel. This was the third year the "Princess Pat" has included Kitimat in her itinerary.
