Pacific Princess

Come and experience the small ship feel of Pacific Princess. Carrying only 670 passengers at capacity, Pacific Princess delivers all of the charm and sophistication you have come to expect from Princess Cruises in a boutique and intimate way. Despite its smaller size—weighing in at only 30,000 gross tons—the Pacific Princess manages to have a respectable variety in dining venues and entertainment options.

There’s a single-deck main dining room plus two alternative restaurants: Sabatini’s trattoria for Italian fare and Sterling Steakhouse for meat-eaters, open for dinner on alternating nights; both are rather intimate spaces, seating fewer than 100 passengers at a time. There’s also a buffet restaurant with pizzeria and barbecue for more casual dining, plus of course the customary pool grill out on deck.

Ambiance onboard has been compared to a European boutique hotel and with good reason: The Pacific Princess is clubby, sedate, and relaxing. Décor is best described as Old World with classical touches like fluted columns, Oriental-inspired carpeting, and paintings with gilded frames. Other public rooms include a forward-looking observation lounge, cabaret-style main lounge, casino that’s somewhat on the small side, card room, internet center, and the rather social Club Bar for pre-dinner drinks.
