Since our first featured land destination
is the Cook Islands, I did some hunting to find a cruise
line that stopped there too. It wasn't easy hunting, but
I found one major cruise line that was just starting to
visit there. It turns out the Princess Cruise line has
just recently started cruising to Tahiti and the South
Pacific since December of 2002. Check out their exclusive
itinerary here
The ship's name is the Tahitian
Princess which was formerly the Renaissance R4.
Renaissance Cruise Line went out of business shortly
after the September 11th attack. The ship was docked
until Princess purchased it in 2002 and completely
renovated it to be christened the Tahitian Princess.
The ship is considered, by today's standards, a
medium sized ship at 32,277 tons. Many people prefer the
smaller ships rather than the mega ships because they
have a more personal feel about them. They seem more
like a cruise ship rather than a floating hotel. The
interior of the ship has been completely remodeled and
now features rich woodwork , lush upholstery and
beautiful draperies. The ship’s showcase is a
"Titanic" type staircase featured in the
Purser’s lounge area.
Another desirable feature for some people is the
Personal Choice dining option that Princess has gotten
rave reviews for. If you choose to dine this way, you
will not have to hurry back from shore tours to make a
scheduled dinner time.
Fortunately for those who prefer a more intimate
cruising experience, this ship is back in service and
cruising to some exotic locations. Former passengers are
likely to be pleased with the changes on this ship but
still marvel at its personal service and attention that
Renaissance was known for.
We are pleased to be able to bring you a personal
review of this ship from Ed Schlenk. He sailed on the
Tahitian Princess on January 23, 2003. Ed has included
some extremely helpful and interesting information and
we hope that you find it useful in making your cruising
plans.
In hunting for a deal on this 10 night cruise, I found
it at
Travelocity
(search under South Pacific-Tahiti)
starting $999. There is one itinerary that includes the
Cook Islands. You can also go to our Resources Page and look at the price from many
other web-sites at the same time, comparing them
side-by-side.
I could also help you hunt for a price if you send me
when you want to go by e-mailing me at:lee
Happy Travel Hunting,
