Golden Princess Debuts in Hawaii with most Hawaii Cruises from West Coast; Tahitian Princess Introduces Enhanced Itinerary

Princess Cruises have announced that the new 2008-09 itineraries to the island paradises of Hawaii and Tahiti, will feature a variety of itineraries on board the intimate Tahitian Princess and the amenity- filled Golden Princess.

Golden Princess will follow a new schedule which will include her debut in Hawaii featuring roundtrip sailings from Los Angeles to Hawaii, with more west cost departures to Hawaii than any other cruiseline. The intimate Tahitian Princess will be placed in Tahiti with sailings from French Polynesia with an enhanced 10- day itinerary as well as two Hawaii/Tahiti sailings, two one-way cruises between Hawaii and Vancouver, and even an extended voyage from the South Pacific to Easter Island, South America and through the Panama Canal.

"Of our many worldwide destinations, Hawaii and Tahiti evoke some of the most vivid images of a tropical paradise," said Jan Swartz, Princess' senior vice president. "Passengers always love these voyages -- whether they choose to enjoy the lush Polynesian isles and the personal feel of one of our smallest vessels, or the popular amenities of one of our larger ships as they sail to the beautiful Hawaiian Islands."
