Contemporary cruising at its finest - with a host of innovations inspired by listening to their passengers - has helped Princess Cruises sail swiftly to its position as one of the leading lines in the world.

With a fleet of 17 beautiful ships sailing the globe on around 100 routes, with holidays of durations from 7 to 107 days, Princess Cruises offers a huge variety of options to suit every kind of cruise passenger.

Many of the ships have been constructed in the 21^st century and, while they retain the traditional refinements of classic cruising style and service, there are many ultra-modern facilities and activities, creating a real state-of-the-art ambience.

Because of the line’s variety of cruise ship styles, it really is worth taking time to select the right one for you, whether it’s a larger ‘Grand’ class vessel like the Diamond Princess or Star Princess with their huge range of decks, activities and dining options that appeal to just about every kind of cruise lover; or the smaller Ocean and Pacific Princess ships whose exotic destinations and more intimate feel tend to attract those wanting longer itineraries and fewer family-friendly activities.

With its modern approach to cruising, Princess has introduced industry-leading features on selected ships - like adults only Sanctuary pool areas, flexible Anytime Dining options allowing passengers to enjoy a meal when they want, Chef’s Table tasting menus, computer courses which include web design training, the popular Scholarship@Sea programme where you can try your hand at anything from ceramics to haute cuisine and the spectacular Movies Under the Stars with its giant LED screen above several of its ships’ main pools.

Entertainment day and night is varied and of superb quality with lavish shows, top quality cabaret and comedy acts and fun themed party nights in the ships’ beautiful and high-tech theatres and lounges which the  performers clearly enjoy just as much as the audiences.

There’s also the Princess Talent Search and Showcase, giving a chance for up and coming acts hoping for their big break to test their star qualities in front of cruise ship audiences – another Princess innovation.

Young passengers from tots to teens have their own array of age-appropriate activities and offering everything from craft and educational sessions to competitions, parties, karaoke and separate dining get-togethers.

Princess Cruises are a market-leader on routes to Alaska and Canada while also visiting all the world’s other classic cruise destinations including the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, Australasia, South America. Princess also offers amazing deals on 107-day, Round the World voyages of a lifetime.
