Few
destinations boast as much
sun-drenched tropical beauty or
cultural diversity as the islands of
the Caribbean. This region has a
distinctive fusion of influences
from Europe, Africa and Latin
America, which make up a wonderful
quilt-work of cultures amongst a
breathtaking backdrop of lush
tropical jungles, fresh water
caves, white-sand beaches, charming
cities and ancient ruins.
This
region's histories and cities are
fascinating, from the ancient Mayan
city of Tulum on the Yucatan
Peninsula, to the Chacchoben ruins
near Costa Maya. Hear the legends of
Aruban gold, Jamaican voodoo or the
origins of St. Maarten's
half-French, half-Dutch culture.
Each island has its own incredible
story.

adventurous travelers with
the promise of welcoming
shores, fascinating cultures
and panoramas of
awe-inspiring wonder. To let
you experience even more,
several itineraries offer
you the opportunity to make

by pairing your cruise with
a tour to Ireland’s scenic
west counties and the Ring
of Kerry.
Crown Princess®
returns with 12- to 14-day
cruises featuring highlights
of the British Isles,
Iceland and Greenland. A new
7-day Ireland & Scotland
Interlude itinerary onboard
Ocean Princess®
is in addition to the
returning 18-day Top of the
World Explorer and Fire &
Ice Explorer cruises.
An amazing deal on a
cruise was nabbed
recently by a Princess past
guest, according to published
reports. She scored a 30-day
South American cruise from Los
Angeles to Rio de Janeiro. Her
obstructed ocean view cabin was
only $1,697. After you include
government taxes and mandatory
gratuities, it figures out to be
only $74 a day per person!
That's about a third cheaper
than the list price.
So, how did she get the deal;
Princess
e-mailed her as a frequent
Princess cruiser. Past guests
have been
getting these
"exclusives-special offers just
for you" e-mails frequently.
How we sweeten the deal;
For most Princess past
guest offers we can can sweeten
the deal by adding up $100
shipboard credit, a free bottle
of wine, onboard coupon book and
a reduced deposit. And with our
bring a "friend or family member
along" promotion, we can offer
the same deal, when they book a
separate cabin with us.
Every
day onboard a Princess® ship
presents untold opportunities that
blend to create a wondrous escape.
Follow your mood to a swimming pool
or elegant restaurant, take a yoga
class or attend an art auction, or
simply find a secluded deck chair to
stretch out in and unwind. It's your
Princess vacation to enjoy however
you choose. And they are here to
make sure it's perfect in every way.
THE
WORLD AWAITS. There's a hammock
on a Caribbean beach with your name
on it. Or perhaps a cobblestoned
street in an ancient Greek village
awaiting exploration. With over 90
unique itineraries visiting over 270
worldwide destinations - from Alaska
to Australia, Mexico to the
Mediterranean - Princess delivers
the world to you.
A SHIP
DESIGNED JUST FOR YOU. They call it Big
Ship Choice, Small Ship Feel®.
Spectacular ships, filled with
intimate, personal delights. As your
hours fill with memorable
experiences and unexpected memories,
you begin to feel as if this ship
was designed with one person in mind
- you.
TASTING
THE FINER THINGS. One evening, it's
a multi-course Italian feast in
Sabatini's. The next, an
otherworldly experience with
Ultimate Balcony Dining. You'll
savor the fare in a luxurious dining
room with Traditional Dining, or
flexible Anytime Dining. Each day,
every meal on your cruise is a
celebration of tantalizing tastes.
YOUR
OWN BALCONY VIEW. You may never
want to leave - your own personal
balcony, a blissful slice of sea and
sky all to yourself. And Princess
brings this wonderful luxury within
reach with an impressive array of
affordable balconies.
SERVING

there, at just the right time -
turning down your bed, refilling
your glass, offering you a hand. The

Deal Offers
How Do We Find These Deals?
We sort through hundred's of
Princess sailings to find
the best value for
you. These deals are the
best of today's offers. Not
only chosen for their price,
but the destination and
experience they offer.
From
the Panama Canal's opening day to
present, nearly a million ships have
passed through the mighty locks.
Encompassing tragedy and triumph,
Spanish kings, conquistadors and
five different American presidents,
the building of this massive project
spanned 400 years. And today, nearly
100 years after its completion, the
Panama Canal remains one of the most
vital trade routes in the world. In
addition to Panama's man-made
marvel, this voyage includes some of
nature's most amazing creations in
the Caribbean, Mexico and Central
America.
Sun,
sand and surf - what more could you
ask for? The Mexican Riviera is
filled with rich culture, bright
flavors, scenic vistas, and most
definitely, fun in the sun. The La
Quebrada cliff divers of Acapulco
will leave you amazed at their
daredevil flying feats. The cobbled
streets of Puerto Vallarta's Malécon
are ideal for a relaxing stroll. And
the deep-water lagoons, coconut
groves and laid-back attitude of
Zihuatanejo provide a delightful
taste of Old Mexico. Don't forget
Mazatlán's long sandy beaches and
the chance to spot humpback and gray
whales off Cabo San Lucas.There is
so much to do and see on the
Riviera. By day, swim, fish, shop or
soak up the local culture. By night,
savor the bold and fresh flavors of
the region, like handmade tortillas
and fresh guacamole, then pick up
some new steps, dancing the night
away to a salsa beat. It's time to
go to the Mexican Riviera.
South America
This exotic,
mysterious and
magical region
of the world is
a feast for all
five senses.
South America's
colorful
cultures and
alluring history
feed your
appetite for
adventure and it
becomes
contagious. This
is the region
where you will
experience
contrasting
cities, stunning
archeological
ruins, icy
fjords, lush
dense jungles
and landscapes
so remote that
they've rarely
been seen by
anyone but the
most intrepid
explorers. With
imagery that can
only be
described as
otherworldly,
sail Cape Horn's
magnificent
coastline,
explore the
misty ruins of
Machu Picchu,
discover the
energetic vibe
of Rio de
Janeiro and much
more. And if
that's not
enough,
legendary
Antarctica lies
just beyond with
its towering
cliffs of blue
ice. Without a
doubt, it's a
fascinating
destination to
explore.
World Cruise
A Princess World
Cruise – the
Ultimate
Vacation
You’ve always
wanted to see
the world. With
a Princess World
Cruise vacation,
you’ll sail on
an exquisite
small ship for
more than 100
days and visit
more than 40
spectacular
ports, seeing
more captivating
cities, storied
attractions and
fascinating
cultures than
you ever dreamed
possible. The
Princess World
Cruise – it’s
truly an
adventure of a
lifetime.
HawaiiSouth Pacific
The South
Pacific holds an
abundance of
natural
treasures and
the islands of
Hawaii and
Tahiti are just
two of their
better-known
jewels. From the
legendary beauty
of French
Polynesia's Bora
Bora to the lush
Hawaiian
landscape of
Kauai and the
pristine beaches
of Tahiti,
immerse yourself
in the diverse,
yet singular
Polynesian
culture and
experience the
warmth of the
Aloha Spirit.
These lush
tropical
sanctuaries are
the ideal places
to relax, unwind
and embrace
"Island Time."
Discover Hawaii
and its South
Pacific cousins
It's
the ancient land of legends and
kings, where empires were built and
destroyed. Dreams and ideas came to
fruition here, on the ceiling of the
Sistine Chapel and in the grand
halls of St. Petersburg. Today, the
call of Europe is stronger than
ever, with its brilliant mosaic of
bygone eras and modern-day
wonders. Stand at the base of the
temple of Poseidon and it's as if
you were at the threshold of modern
civilization. But look beyond the
hilltops of Athens, to the intricate
canals of Venice or the gothic
cathedrals of Spain; gaze northward
to the shores of Normandy or the
cliffs of Edinburgh; reach for the
great Viking waters of Norway or the
virgin tundra of North Cape. Only
then will you begin to comprehend
the scope and history of this most
wondrous continent.
Autumn is glorious in Canada and New England. The sun still shines on the Eastern Seaboard's many seafaring towns and the cool fall air turns the foliage a dazzling crimson and gold. A trip to Canada and New England uncovers the history and character that started a nation. With the quaint Colonial charm of New England towns and the spectacular Canadian coastline, history is everywhere you look. Discover the very fabric of the cities and towns that are woven with history and experience French Canada's unique flavor and culture. Follow in the footsteps of our forefathers in cities like Norfolk, Charleston and Boston. Visit the bright lights of New York City. Fall in love with quintessential French Québec City and get charmed by quaint villages from Saint John to Bar Harbor. There's just no better way to experience the East Coast's autumn color than onboard a Princess cruise.
There
remain few places on earth where you
can truly breathe. Where space is
measured not in feet or miles, but
in endless horizons. A place where
nature is so powerful, so dramatic,
a personal encounter can change you
forever. Thrill to white thunder in
Glacier Bay, marvel at sunlight at
midnight and close-ups of whales,
eagles and caribou. Delight in Mt.
McKinley's majesty and meadows
carpeted with wildflowers. Amid
unsurpassed grandeur and serenity,
the true wilderness of Denali is
calling. Make your Alaska escape
complete with Princess.
Asia is full of ancient cultures, unparalleled in exotic beauty and mysticism. From Southeast Asia to the Far East and India, explore the myriad customs and traditions of each one. The fascinating countries of Vietnam, China, Japan and Thailand are equally amazing and yet vastly different. See the great Buddhas of Bangkok or experience a whirlwind shopping-spree in Hong Kong. Explore the temples of Japan and the monuments of Beijing. The magic never ends on this side of the world. The Silk Road, the Spice Route and Xanadu beckon. Wander among ornate gilded pavilions, ancient temples, modern skyscrapers and bustling street markets filled with foreign and wonderful fruits and vegetables, not to mention just about everything else imaginable. Asia is really an escape of a lifetime.
Australia and New Zealand provide some of the most unique and beautiful landscapes in the world. Spotlight the bustling metropolises of Sydney and Auckland, plus the incredible wildlife on land and at sea, and you have all the elements for a truly memorable vacation. From the sophistication of the Opera House and the world-class wineries, to the rugged individualism of the Outback and its inhabitants, Australia and New Zealand possess a wonderful diversity of sights, activities and cultures. Few travel experiences can rival the excitement of sailing into the glistening harbors of Sydney and Auckland, as well as inspiring attractions, such as scenic Fiordland National Park and the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, just to name a few.
