With six decades of providing bucket-listed itineraries to cruise passengers across the globe, Princess Cruises stands out as a leader in the cruise industry providing cruise enthusiasts the opportunities to experience the world’s most sought-after destinations.
From sailing with only one ship back in 1965, the line has evolved to be a pioneering line in many aspects of cruising experience and paved the way for a number of innovations that cater to every guest’s taste and preference. The line pioneered the concept of 24-hour dining, the concept of affordable veranda which once served as an exclusive feature of the line’s most luxurious suites, and the concept of giving guests the choice when it comes to their main dining room experience. Additionally, Princess has implemented a multi-million-dollar innovation to ensure an ultimate cruise experience aboard all of its 16-vessel fleet.
The line rose to stardom when one of its ships, Pacific Princess, was given the lead role in a television show titled “The Love Boat”. This stint made way for Princess to become a household name in the cruising industry.
