Princess Cruises has introduced a series of west coast “sampler” sailings.
“Ranging from overnight to as long as a week, these coastal sailings offer travelers a chance to sample Princess’ amenity-filled vessels and renowned service while exploring the Pacific coastline of North America,” says the company.
For the 2008-09 season, passengers can choose from one-, two-, three- and four-night escapes in the spring and fall.
Two special week-long coastal sailings on Sapphire Princess include a Coastal Wine Region cruise with special wine-related tours, programs and special guests, and a British Columbia and West Coast cruise.
Early booking fares for Princess Coastal sailings start at US$99 for an overnight sailing, based on double occupancy.
