Cruising returns to Los Angeles
The Port of Los Angeles is back on the cruising map.
The San Pedro port marked the first cruise vacation departure as Grand Princess welcomed the first guests on board.
The ship departed on a five-day Cabo San Lucas sailing, the first of five voyages on this itinerary and the first of 11 sailings from the Los Angeles in 2021.
Princess Cruises has been sailing out of the Port of Los Angeles since 1965 and does so more frequently than any other cruise line.
"It is a pride point for us that Grand Princess is returning to service in our hometown port. Our crew members are eager to welcome guests back on board as we continue resuming operations in the United States," said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises President.
Grand Princess Grand Princess offers MedallionClass tech onboard with personalized service via the OceanMedallion wearable device offering touch-free boarding and geolocation services.
