Panama Canal & North American west coast with Island Princess

Welcome aboard Princess Cruises! The cruise line was founded in 1965 and is part of Carnival Corporation, which also includes brands such as Carnival Cruise Line and Cunard. 

Princess Cruises stands for stylish and comfortable travel at sea with high standards of service, quality and variety of experiences. The cruise line combines classic cruise tradition with modern amenities, offering guests a relaxed yet varied holiday experience.

Princess Cruises places particular emphasis on excellent service, culinary diversity, authentic shore experiences and high-quality entertainment and wellness offerings. With routes on all seven continents and the innovative MedallionClass service concept – a digital system with a wearable device for contactless stateroom access, easy payments and personalised service – the cruise line creates a personalised premium experience and unforgettable travel adventures.

The audience on board Princess Cruises is international and predominantly English-speaking.

All cabins on Island Princess are very comfortable and cosy furnished, and designed quite spacious. Many cabins have their own balcony. The inside cabins are 14-15 square meters in size, outside cabins 15-20 square meters and balcony cabins 16-25 square meters. The size of the suites varies between 28 and 122 square meters depending on the category.

You will enjoy all the amenities and varied possibilities of a large ship while you feel secure and personally cared for, as if you were crossing the seas on a small ship. Contributing to this are the many small bars and lounges as well as the good, unobtrusive and personal service of Princess Cruises. Comfortable casual wear is recommended during the day, matching the visited destination. In the evening, the guests also like to dress a little more chic and choose sporty chic or elegant clothes.

One of the cruise lines quality features is its excellent cuisine. In addition to the main restaurant with various dining rooms, there are also four different specialty restaurants on board, where you can enjoy delicacies from all over the world at an extra cost. Our tip: If you do not want to be tied to fixed table times, please note the "Anytime Dining". Then you can eat in a separate area of the main restaurant whenever you want. For that you relinquish a "fixed table" for a fixed table time in the main restaurant.

Whether you prefer calm relaxation or want to dance the night away in the disco: From piano music over a live band to disco - on board the Golden Princess every guest gets their money's worth. Evenings feature elaborate Broadway-style shows in the grand theater. One of the cruise line's trademarks is the open-air cinema "Movies under the stars", where you can enjoy outdoor cinema blockbusters in a unique atmosphere. In the Hot Spots life pulsates also late at night. Hot spots on board are for example the casino or the Skywalkers Nightclub. The Lotus Spa offers a large fitness area with stunning sea views, a pool with relaxation area, numerous courses, a jogging course and a 9-hole golf course. The spa also offers numerous pampering and beauty treatments *. Some more pools and some whirlpools on deck invite you to swim and relax. * For a fee

Despite its size you can orientate yourself easily onboard the Golden Princess. You will experience a classy cruise at high quality and a very attractive price. The onboard language is English, so we recommend basic English skills. Overall, a well-organized cruising experience awaits you with numerous activities and relaxation possibilities.
