Princess Cruises Showcases Panama Canal with Variety of Itineraries in 2008-09

The awe-inspiring Panama Canal never fails to be a "must see" wonder for cruisers, and Princess continues to lead the way with three ships transiting this engineering marvel for the 2008-09 season. With more departures and the most modern fleet in the region, the line offers passengers a full range of itineraries to one of the greatest achievements of the 20th Century.

Sister ships Coral Princess and Island Princess, both purpose-built for Canal cruising, will offer full Canal transit voyages as well as convenient roundtrip partial transits. In addition, the intimate 670-passenger Pacific Princess will sail on one 20-day Grand Canal adventure. Together, these ships will offer a choice of 40 departures, on six Panama Canal itineraries. Princess ships offer the highest percentage of balcony staterooms of all vessels in this destination, so passengers have the perfect vantage point for watching the Canal's locks as they lift and lower the ship a dramatic 170 feet.

"We carry more passengers through the Panama Canal than any other cruise line, and we're delighted so many travelers have chosen us over the past 40 years as the best way to escape and enjoy this 'once-in-a-lifetime' experience," said Jan Swartz, Princess' senior vice president of customer service and sales. "What better view from your Princess balcony than an up-close look at these amazing locks in action."

Early booking fares for Princess' Panama Canal 10-day sailings begin at $1,199 per person, based on double occupancy.

Additional information about Princess' Panama Canal cruises and cruisetours is available at www.CruiseCafe.com or by calling 1-800-788-2545.
