Princess Cruises is an American cruise line, which operates cruises on a worldwide basis, usually with 2 or 3 ships based in Southampton during the summer. The fleet consists of the following ships: –
Caribbean Princess (watch my videos below), Coral Princess, Crown Princess, Dawn Princess, Diamond Princess,
Emerald Princess, Golden Princess, Grand Princess, Island Princess, Majestic Princess (from 2017), Ocean Princess (until 2016),
Pacific Princess, Regal Princess, Royal Princess, Ruby Princess (watch my video below), Sapphire Princess, Sea Princess,
Star Princess, Sun Princess, TBA (2019) and TBA (2020). Look at my photos on Facebook of Ruby Princess and Caribbean Princess
Many of the ships in the fleet can carry over 3,000 passengers, but the Ocean Princess and Pacific Princess, also referred to as the Small Ships of Princess, carry just 680 passengers.
Onboard there is plenty to do both during the day and at night, with dedicated children’s activities as well. Food is of a high standard, and there are various dining options to choose from.
As well as offering cruises, they also offer Cruise Tours, where you combine a cruise with a land tour in certain destinations. These include an Alaska Cruise combined with a tour of the Rockies staying at one of a number of company owned lodges, or combine a cruise with a tour of Australia including Sydney and Alice Springs.
