During the 2009/10 cruise season, Princess Cruises will offer enticing reasons to vacation in the Caribbean, Mexico and Panama Canal with innovative itineraries aboard its newest vessels.

Caribbean 

In the Caribbean, Princess will sail six ships on 13 itineraries including Ruby Princess, which takes over the line’s 10-day Eastern and Southern Caribbean itineraries.  Emerald Princess sails the Eastern Caribbean and Crown Princess cruises the Western Caribbean on a new itinerary which features Roatan, Honduras.  Caribbean Princess resumes alternating seven-day Southern Caribbean voyages from San Juan.  Grand Princess returns with a 14-day Caribbean Collection route and Sea Princess will again sail on 14-day voyages from Barbados.

Mexico

On the Pacific side, two Princess ships will visit Mexico: Sapphire Princess sailing on seven-day Mexican Riviera voyages from Los Angles and Star Princess cruising on 10-day itineraries round-trip from San Francisco.

Panama Canal

In 2009/10, Princess will add a new Panama Canal experience: two-day stops in a canal port with time for local sightseeing.  On select full transits, the ship will anchor at Fuente Amador, on the Canal’s Pacific site.  Shore excursions include the Panama Canal Railway, Panama City, Soberania National Park Rainforest or a visit to a local Indian village.

Coral and Island Princess will feature the two-day Panama experience on 15-day Los Angeles/Fort Lauderdale itineraries.  In addition, Island and Sea Princess sailings between Ft. Lauderdale and San Francisco plus Royal Princess 20-day voyage from Ft. Lauderdale to Seattle will include an extra night in the Canal. 

Additional full Canal transits include the Island Princess’ ten-day cruises between Ft. Lauderdale and Acapulco with stops in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Guatemala.

Popular round-trip transits from Ft. Lauderdale are scheduled on Island Princess on 13 departures between Oct. 1, 1009 and April 19, 2010.
