Princess CruisesPrincess Cruises originated in 1962 and has grown to become one of the largest cruise companies in the market, with a strong presence in North America, Alaska, Europe, the Panama Canal and Caribbean. It benefited enormously from its association with the ‘Love Boat’ TV series in the 1970’s - as did the industry in general. The original parent company, P&O (Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company), was the oldest and largest of the great British shipping companies, dating back to 1822. The Princess Experience Princess ships boast a multi-million dollar art collection, an enormous number of cabins and suites with private veranda’s, and the most beautiful libraries afloat. They have state-of-the art fitness centres, beautiful outdoor pool decks and several venues for dining. Princess has always had the reputation of being a classy cruise experience and the ambience encourages passengers to dress up in their finest, especially on formal evenings. Princess stands out in its Alaska cruise and shore tour program. It's pre and post cruise land excursions are superbly run, and in addition to its gleaming two-level domed Alaska rail cars with gourmet dining the company has it's own lovely lodges in Kenai Peninsula, Denali Park and Mt. McKinley. A popular new concept on Princess is their ‘Personal Choice Dining’, where you can opt for the traditional assigned two-seating program, or open single seating where you show up for dinner when you like. Passenger Profile With a nice balance of formal and informal ambience Princess passengers are not rowdy, yet not staid. They have recently begun to attract a younger crowd, so you’ll now find a nice mix of people from young couples to the traditional 55+. Alaska cruises do attract an increasing number of families each year, but Europe, Panama Canal, Asia, Africa and South America voyages tend to still be the domain of the older crowd. Children’s Programs Princess’s ‘Princess Kids’ program offers supervised activities for children from 3 to 17. Each ship has a children’s playroom and numerous activities to entertain. On the Golden and Grand Princess there is a large fenced-in outside deck dedicated to kids only, including a teen section with a Jacuzzi and private sunbathing area. Babysitting is also available.
