When the Pacific arrived on Tyneside

The sun was shining as I approached the International Cruise Terminal in North Shields, Tyne & Wear. It was early Saturday morning and I was excited to get the opportunity to see this exception to Princess Cruise fleet of cruise ships.

Princess are world renowned for their beautiful contemporary large ships, but this one is different. Imagine a country club hotel, with dark wood panelling, fire places, wing backed leather seats, regency style, painted ceilings, wrought iron staircase railings and under 700 passengers.

This ship spends her time sailing around the world, from 4 nights to 111 nights, never in the same place for long, her passengers, demand new exciting places and longer stays in port.

Five simple words sums up Princess Cruises:

Wonder: Discover the world Passion: For places and local cultures Bliss: From luxuriating in the spa to laying in the Princess Luxury Bed Friendship: A welcoming & personalised service Delight: Freedom to enjoy your holiday

From the 2 deck atrium, to swimming pool and Jacuzzi's, spa and gym, sports deck with shuffle board, nightclub and cabaret lounge with the on board with regular shows. Main restaurant, 2 speciality dining venues, buffet, pizza (best pizza at sea, it was good) and hot dog stand by the pool and coffee shop, there is so much on board this small mighty ship.

Can’t believe we had such a wonderful ship visit, the weather was incredible, and Jo and Charlotte from Princess were so lovely and full of information.

I need to see when I can fit in a Pacific Princess cruise for my own holidays. Don’t forget Princess sail from Southampton as well as offering fly-cruises.
