Pacific Princess

Small Ship Cruise to Iceland and Norway

Sep 17th, 2019

It is a bit concerning to take a small ship across the North Sea and North Atlantic. We have crushed the route on a big ship, but how would it be on a small ship. The answer is it was great. The small ship allowed us to quickly move around the ship. No long lines and no waiting for elevators. The Pacific Princess ha a very friendly and efficient staff. Our embarkment at Dover went flawlessly. Quick and efficient. We got settled in, explores the ship and were ready to sail before the muster drill. This itinerary was almost perfect. A day at sea to begin with. Stavanger and then another sea day to Iceland. 4 ports around Iceland and then 2 days back to Norway. 4 ports in Norway and then a sea day back to Dover.The sea days allowed us to rest after the great ports. The ship was pleasant, but somewhat outdated. The small size presented problems for the Production Shows. They were well presented, but the venue did not provide good views of the shows. Occasionally, I felt that there wasn't much to do, but that may be ok. I was pleased with the quality of the performers. There were only two singers in the shows, but they were both outstanding. Our cabin was smaller than we were used to and had little storage. The bathroom was about the same size as usual, but was not organized as well as the newer ships. The main dining room only had traditional dining, but that is my preference anyway. The staff was well trained and efficient. I enjoyed the dining experience, but some of my companions felt the menu was too limited. The staff was more than willing to accommodate when requested. The disembarkment at Dover was quick and easy. A most pleasant experience.

This was a great experience. Visiting Greenland for the first time was the reason for taking this cruise. Not disappointed at all. Iceland was also very good and we had a bonus when the ship was diverted to Faroe Islands because of bad weather. That was very good stop.

What a great trip small ship great crew

I love cruises and I love Princess. The small ship was a great way to cruise to Greenland and Iceland and Faroe Islands and Scotland. We got to dock while bigger ships had to tender. I would definitely seek out the routes of the ship again.

High Arctic Adventure!

Jul 30th, 2019

We wanted to explore this beautiful part of the world, especially Svaldbard & the fjords. This was a perfect ship to do in in. We have cruises on the bigger ships for years, and really enjoyed returning to the more intimate comfort and joys of a smaller ship. We hope to return to the Pacific Princess again on a new adventure.

Trial Run for World Cruise

Jul 25th, 2019

We, four of us, went on this cruise, B2B, to try out the Pacific Princess to see if we can handle the small ship for our booked 2020 World Cruise. We almost canceled the World Cruise because of the worst food we've ever tasted on a Princess cruise ship. This small ship has its unique charm and has its loyal following.

Wonderful way to see Norway’s beauty

Jul 19th, 2019

I would recommend this cruise to everyone who is interested in the natural beauty, history, and culture of Norway. The best way to experience the midnight sun, fiords and waterfalls of Norway’s west coast. The small Pacific Princess ship is ideal because it can sail into the fiords and smaller towns. Also the ship is easy to navigate and the service is very good.

Fantastic trip from Ft. Lauderdale to NYC, Halifax, 3 different ports in Iceland and the the Faroe Islands to the Shetland Islands ending in Dover London on the Pacific Princess!

Loved the trip!!! Superb itinerary and wonderful cruise ship!

Amazing around the world cruise - 97 days LA to Florida

May 3rd, 2019

We had been on long cruises before and we had visited up to Singapore from LA. The ship stopped in many new locations, such as Steward Island and Raiatea we never visited before. We really enjoyed these places. Madagascar was the best location for our visit. We met many interesting people on the ship and on land. We shall not do a world cruise again but we we met many who had done it four or five times. One woman had done it ten times.

It was our worst ‘vacation’ experience ever !!!

Apr 29th, 2019

The best part of our cruise was when we left the ship in Maui. The crew and management refused to address the fact that we were forced to be in a room that was inferior to what we had paid for !!! If this ship were used to transport troops to war zones — they would complain about these accommodations!!!
