Description

The Island Princess, the second ship of the Panamax class, was conceived to operate between the Panama Canal, California and Alaska. A very elegant ship at the time it entered into service, it distinguished itself for the two gigantic but merely decorative “torpedoes” positioned on the smokestack. These have since been removed during the extensive refit that the ship underwent in 2015. Unfortunately, this renovation work made modifications to the stern that irreparably ruined its external look. Furthermore, the addition of new cabins has compromised the overall livability of this Princess Cruises ship.

Beautiful experience with Island Princess

Comment

The ship is not modern and not the maximum in comfort. But the service is excellent, the exquisite cuisine and impeccable cleanliness. The cruise was therefore positive. Surely Princess Cruises is a great company.

Our longest cruise from Los Angeles to Panama and back. Island Princess is a small cruise ship but we experienced great service and excellent food. Thanks to Princess Cruises.

A Panama con Princess

I liked

Itinerario e cortesia

I didn't like

Cabina interna piccola

Comment

Esperienza indimenticabile per questo itinerario fantastico nel canale di Panama. La nave, piuttosto piccola ma ben tenuta ed efficiente, ci è piaciuta molto. Certo non ha i locali e le comodità delle navi più moderne, ma è stata la base ideale per meravigliose escursioni in luoghi magici. Tanta buona cucina e attenzione al personale, con un rapporto qualità prezzo veramente eccellente. La cabina interna era piccola, ma del resto abbiamo scelto noi di risparmiare sulla quota crociera e fare escursioni particolari ed intressanti. Nel complesso assolutamente soddisfacente.
