The former Renaissance vessel was introduced to Princess' fleet on August 9, 2002. Her sleek, modern design provides a 'boutique version' of our Personal Choice Cruising program, with over two thirds of the ship's cabins having balconies and with a variety of dining and entertainment options to deliver on our trademark "big ship choice" in a smaller, more intimate cruise environment.

Beginning with a holiday cruise on December 24, 2002, Tahitian Princess will sail year-round in Tahiti and the South Pacific, debuting the only 10-day sailings in the region. Three unique itineraries, with a total of 50 departures roundtrip from Papeete, Tahiti, each include calls at the tropical paradises of Bora Bora, Moorea and Raiatea. Passengers can choose one of the 34 French Polynesia/Cook Islands sailings that explore ports like mystic Huahine and Raratonga and feature overnight stays in both Papeete and Bora Bora; enjoy one of eight French Polynesia/Samoa cruises to discover the dramatic beauty of Pago Pago and Apia; or travel on one of eight French Polynesia/Marquesas voyages to unwrap the secrets of Nuku Hiva and Hiva.

Activities

Want to stay in shape while you vacation or receive your PADI scuba certification while you cruise? Our Cruisercise® activity program and our New Waves snorkeling and scuba program are the way to go. And while in port, don't forget to golf, swim, kayak, bicycle, sail, or horseback ride.Learn to snorkel and/or scuba dive with professional, fully certified PADI instructors. Princess' New Waves program is available on all seven-day cruises to the Caribbean. Under the guidance of the New Waves staff, you can get your feet wet with snorkeling and scuba demonstrations, snorkeling classes and tours and scuba tours for non-certified and certified divers. You can even get a full scuba certification during your cruise. If you wish, you can also book your dives in advance.

Dining

This exciting, new approach to shipboard dining enhances our trademark 24-hour restaurant choice with yet another option. Now passengers can dine where, when and with whom they want in our signature dining rooms. While other cruise lines may let you dine when you want, it may not necessarily be with whom you want. They may offer several seating times, but they don't offer "anytime" dining options. Princess is the only cruise line to give passengers both Traditional Fixed Seating and our restaurant-style Anytime Dining. Whichever dining option you choose, you'll enjoy the same delectable menus and follow the same dress code in our dining rooms each night. Traditional Fixed Seating or Anytime Dining? The choice is yours.

Entertainment

We go out of our way to plan more activities than you could ever possibly take advantage of especially if your idea of staying busy on vacation is working on your tan. Nevertheless, it's a good feeling to know that whenever the mood strikes you, there are lots of activities going on all around you. Every cruise of seven days or longer features as many as four different production shows, most of which are written, costumed and choreographed exclusively by Princess. Curtain times vary; check your Princess Patter for show times. The casino offers the most popular table games, including blackjack, roulette, Caribbean stud poker and craps. We also offer a full range of exciting slot and video poker machines, as well as regular Snowball Jackpot Bingo sessions held throughout the cruise. Complimentary gaming lessons for slots and table games are held each cruise, along with exciting tournaments. Please check the Princess Patter for our daily special promotions and opening hours. Persons under the age of 21 are not permitted to gamble or remain in the casino.

Spa

If you've always wanted to treat yourself to a spa vacation, here's your chance. Princess has health and beauty centers fully equipped to pamper you from head to toe. Spas offer aromatherapy, body wraps, massage, sauna, facials and manicures for both men and women. We recommend that you set an appointment as early in the cruise as possible, because these services are very popular.

These islands, clad in emerald green and filled with romance, evoke images of soft-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters filled with life. Enjoy the warmth of the sun as you snorkel, golf, shop, or tour the islands. From lush-green volcanic peaks to aqua-blue waters, Princess takes you to paradise like no one else can.
