Princess Cruise Lines Since 1965, Princess Cruises has welcomed guests aboard with a simple idea: travel should feel personal, immersive and unforgettable. What began as a single ship sailing to Mexico has grown into a world-renowned cruise line that connects guests to more than 345 destinations across seven continents. When people talk about Princess, they often mention the places. Alaska's glaciers and wildlife. Caribbean beaches. Europe's timeless ports. Asia's floating markets. But it's how guests feel along the way that keeps them coming back. Every detail and experience on board is designed to make guests feel appreciated and inspired. Today, Princess is part of Carnival Corporation Ltd and headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Princess Cruises operates a fleet of 17 ships with a presence in every region of the globe, all 7 continents. But the best part about Princess Cruises is that scale has never replaced heart. What defines us isn't how many places we visit, but the care that goes into every guest's experience aboard.
