Princess Cruises celebrates 50th anniversary with ‘Birthday Deals’

Princess Cruises is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a series of ‘Birthday Deals’. 

The line’s first ship set sail on December 3, 1965, when the 400-guest Princess Patricia travelled from Los Angeles to the Mexican Rivera.

Customers booking a cruise can receive up to $50 free onboard spend per day per stateroom and will also only pay a £50 deposit per person.

They will save up to 50 per cent when booking 3rd and 4th guests in the same stateroom.
