PRINCESS CRUISES GUIDE

Ocean Princess
The $300 million+ Ocean Princess is the fifth in the line's Grand Class, following -- and identical to -- Sun Princess, Dawn Princess and Sea Princess and smaller than the flagship, the beautiful Grand Princess. These ships are some of the best designed -- and most innovative -- at sea.

Princess' will be shifting Ocean Princess to the UK market. The move, which will took place when the cruise line took delivery of Coral Princess, means that, for the first time in a long time, a cruise line is sending a relatively new ship (Ocean Princess launched in 2000) into the European market. With amenities, like verandahs and alternative dining options, that are not prevalent there.

Consider a $3 million art collection, teak promenade deck, 24-hour restaurant, two main showrooms, a state-of-the-art health and fitness center, and 410 cabins with private verandas.

Princess appeals to passengers of all ages, particularly families looking for excellent children's programming and teen centers kids really enjoy. The ships provide all a fine, land-based resort might offer plus itineraries to some of the most interesting spots in the world. Many passengers are repeaters. Passengers in the Caribbean tend to be 55+, while Alaskan guests are traditionally younger and with families.
