The Price
For a very short period of time, Princess Cruises has flash
fares on this itinerary. Right now, an interior stateroom can be had for as low
as $299 per person before taxes, based on double occupancy. With the additional
$176.33 in government fees per person tacked on, the total price for two for an
inside cabin can be had for as low as $950.66.
Other levels of stateroom are still available and the
pricing is quite reasonable. An Ocean View stateroom can still be had for as low
as $499 per person. Add a balcony and pricing starts at $699 per person.
The Ship
Island Princess was built at Chantiers de l’Atlantique in
St. Nazaire, France. She made her maiden voyage for Princess Cruises on July
12, 2003. Island Princess is one of two Coral Class ships in the Princess
fleet, along with Coral Princess. These are the only two Panamax ships in the
fleet, meaning that these are the only two Princess ships that are narrow
enough to travel the full length of the Panama Canal.
Island Princess has a gross tonnage of 91,627 and is 294
metres or 964 feet in length. There are 12 decks accessible to the capacity
1,970 passengers. Typically, there will be around 900 crew members onboard.
