Why Sail the West Coast with Princess

The Best Coastal Scenery

Authentic Onboard Experiences
Enjoy tequila tastings from Mexico, the cruise line’s award-winning Aloha Spirit program in Hawaii with hula lessons and lei-making, and food-and-wine experiences inspired by the California Coast. Every sailing brings the local culture to life before even stepping ashore.

Princess Cruises continues to be recognised for its exceptional wine programme, with its main dining rooms recently honoured by Wine Spectator for excellence—underscoring the cruise line’s deep commitment to culinary and wine sophistication at sea. Guests can savour an expansive selection, featuring partnerships with some of the world’s most celebrated winemakers. Among the highlights are exclusive Caymus Vineyards Winemaker Dinners and Gérard Bertrand Wine Tastings on Star Princess, offering guests immersive experiences that showcase the artistry, heritage, and global diversity of fine wine.

A “No-Car Needed” Way to See the Coast
