The
Tahitian Princess was built in 1999 for Renaissance Cruises as its R4 and passed to Princess in late 2002. This mid-sized, 30,200-ton ship carries 670 passengers with a Bermuda registry.
During the summer months, the Tahitian Princess sets sail for 9- to 15-day cruises to Alaska. The second half of the year finds her voyaging to Hawaii and Tahiti for 9- to 16-plus night cruises, as well as less frequent 10-night cruises to exotic locales, including Polynesia and the Marquesas.
The public rooms are traditional country club style. One bar has a faux fireplace, and the high ceiling library is comfy. Other amenities include a casino, a dance club, library, five bars and lounges, a full-service spa, one pool and Internet cafe.
Passengers have the choice of four restaurants: the Panorama Buffet, Sabatini's Trattoria, Sterling Steakhouse and the Club Restaurant.
She has 344 cabins with 317 outside, of which 232 have balconies. All staterooms are equipped with a TV, sofas and desks, plus baths with showers. Upgraded staterooms include refrigerators and bathtubs. The interiors are English hotel style, a bit dark for the tropics, but nonetheless attractive and comfortable.
