Princess
Cruises has just announced
a unique new Caribbean cruise opportunity for travelers looking to
get away from the cold January weather. Featuring the intimate cruise
experience of its small ship Pacific Princess, this 10-day sailing
features the line’s only calls at the boutique ports of Tortola and
St. Barthelemy in 2013.
Sailing
from January 17-27, this Eastern Caribbean voyage also offers
full-day calls in Antigua,
St. Lucia and St. Kitts, which features a late evening departure for
more time on the island.
“Because
Pacific Princess travels the globe, we rarely have the opportunity to
offer a Caribbean cruise on this popular small ship,” said Jan
Swartz, Princess Cruises executive vice
president. “But because we’re rescheduling the ship’s drydock,
we now have a wonderful chance to offer this unique one-time
itinerary option before she takes off on her yearly world cruise.”
Among
the in-port opportunities for passengers on this sailing are tours to
Virgin Gorda from Tortola to see the famous geologic formation "The
Baths," as well as the chance to visit UNESCO World Heritage
sites of Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park on St. Kitts and the
dramatic Pitons in St. Lucia.
Passengers
will enjoy an intimate cruise experience aboard small ship Pacific
Princess. Carrying just 680 passengers, the ship offers a rich
selection of amenities, including specialty restaurants Sabatini’s
and Sterling Steakhouse.
Fares
for the Pacific Princess Eastern Caribbean cruise begin at $899 per
person, based on double occupancy.
