Princess Cruises

From its modest beginnings in 1965--with a single ship cruising to Mexico, Princess Cruises has grown to become one of the world’s premiere cruise lines. Today, its fleet carries more than a million passengers each year to more worldwide destinations than any other major line. One of the most recognized cruise lines in the world, Princess was catapulted to stardom in 1977 when Pacific Princess was cast in a starring role on a new television show called "The Love Boat," which introduced millions of viewers to the still-new concept of a sea-going vacation. Building on past success, Princess is continually evolving to meet the needs of the today’s vacationer. In the mid-1990s the company pioneered the concept of putting passengers in control of their own cruise experience with the introduction of its Sun-class ships. These revolutionary vessels gave passengers the freedom to choose from a wide range of flexible onboard facilities, amenities and services to create a personal vacation experience that takes the regimentation out of the cruise experience.
