• 30-day Hawaii, Tahiti  South Pacific (San Francisco to Sydney) – September 22, 2010

The new sailings are currently open for sale, with fares starting at $199 per person for the new two-day coastal cruise.  Hawaiian Islands sailings begin at $1,995 per person, and Pacific crossings begin at $4,195 per person.

The new cruises were added as a result of shifting demand in the west coast cruise market. To accommodate the new cruises Princess has canceled 15 previously scheduled Mexican Riviera sailings, but an additional 17 Mexican Riviera sailings are still available during this time period.
