Princess Cruise Lines

The Original ‘Love Boat’ – Princess Cruise Lines – Offers Chilling Adventure

More than any other image, the original Pacific Princess, the backdrop for the 70s and 80s television sitcom “Love Boat,” helped develop a growing interest that made cruising a mainstream vacation choice for not only an American audience, but the world over. The Princess Cruise Line ship made its final voyage in 2002. However, its appearance in weekly installments of the popular television series allowed millions of viewers worldwide to get an up close view of the burgeoning cruise industry that has led to its success today.

In the 21st century, Princess Cruise Lines is now noted for its Alaska-bound voyages more so than any tropical port of call. The 14-ship fleet floats vessels carrying 1,590 to 2,670 passengers throughout the chilly waters of the nation’s 49th state, offering some of the most unbelievably beautiful and unique scenery found anywhere on the planet. Round-trip adventures begin in San Francisco or Seattle heading to the Inside Passage where passengers can participate in eco-friendly shore excursions, whale watching, and horseback riding through the Tongass National Park and helicopter excursions along glacier peeks.

Personal gold panning trips and sightseeing adventures taking in Alaska’s diverse and demonstrably beautiful flora and fauna are but two adventures awaiting passengers aboard a Princess Cruise Line ship.

Cabin selection might lead a prospective passenger to consider a balcony cabin. Princess Cruise Lines is the world leader providing balcony cabin accommodation with more than 8,000 cabins having private balconies also making this type selection within the budget reach for more than purely luxury experiencing passengers.

Private balcony accommodations allow for quick “outdoor” access to view passing scenery where the sights, sounds and smells invade the senses rather than imagined through a pane of glass. These balconies allow couples to intimately share sunset or sunrise views, spectacular glacier views as well as fantastic wildlife sightings especially passing schools of whales and other sea-bound creatures making up the allure of an Alaskan voyage.

Once a completely luxury item only available to the cruising rich, balconies now accompany more than 700 staterooms on the Princess Cruise Line largest ships. Plus, Princess changed the marketing of balcony featured staterooms by offering only slightly higher charges than rooms without. Not only did this pricing put balconies within the financial range of more passengers, decreased costs helped increase popularity making their inclusion on modern day sightseeing cruises now the norm not the exception.

In fact, this action by Princess has helped transform the sightseeing cruise market where passengers booking a room expect to find these personal verandas as standard fare. The company has forced competitors to design their sightseeing vessels with private balconies in mind. Since introduction of balconies to mainstream sightseeing cruising has taken place, Princess still leads the way offering the most breathtaking room views by stepping out, so to speak, on your sailing front porch.

Although noted for its spectacular Alaska cruise, Princess still offers voyages throughout the world to exotic locations in the Greek Isles, the Caribbean, Africa, and to the mysterious continent of Antarctica.
