Take an enchanted cruise from £100 a day
WHAT BETTER WAY to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year
than by taking a holiday with a cruise line that treats its guests
royally – and is friendly on the pocket as well?

Impossible? Not if you set sail with Princess Cruises.
It isn’t by chance that this company is one of the world’s leading cruise lines. It has earned its stripes with a fleet of 15 glamorous ships that voyage all over the world.
At the last count, that means 330 destinations, including exotic Hawaii and the Caribbean, the wilds of Alaska and Antarctica, and the spectacular Panama Canal.
What's more, Princess Cruises has a friendly crew with a can-do attitude, making sure guests have the best holiday ever.
We would say a cruise with this line is the holiday of a lifetime, except it’s so brilliant that guests come back year after year for their regular fix of Princess Cruises’ warmth, style and service.
And did we mention the amazing value? Princess Plus prices start from just £100 a day, with all drinks, tips and wi-fi included.
With Princess, the pluses just keep adding up.

Lucky us! With its brand-new ship Enchanted Princess making the UK her home this summer, the best of Princess Cruises service is on hand in a fabulous line-up of cruise route options.
Explore everywhere from mysterious Iceland to the sunny Canary Islands without even setting foot in an airport.
Just get to Southampton, hop on board and order a bon voyage cocktail. The holiday starts right away!
Enchanted Princess: it’s hard to imagine a more appropriate name for this ship, which is, well, enchanting.
And it’s packed with everything you need to make your holiday go with a swing, whether you’re seven or 70.
And relax … leave the world behind with on-board wellness services
While kids and teens can join a range of clubs for non-stop fun, couples are allowed their own us-time in the luxurious Sanctuary – an adult-only outdoor haven with private cabanas and Serenity Stewards on hand to provide soft towels and tasty nibbles.
Feel free to cool off in the top-deck swimming pools, relax in spa tubs and dream of distant horizons in the infinity pool.
Or make an entrance down the spiral staircases into the glamorous piazza-like atrium, where street performers entertain by day and live bands get the ship rocking by night.
The spa is all about pampering, with massages and facials that relax and rejuvenate, as well as a gorgeous thermal suite, The Enclave, with steam rooms, heated beds and a hydrotherapy pool.
Come evening, take your seat in the theatre for a show as good as anything in the West End but without the price tag.
Or get popcorn at the ready for a night at the flicks with the ship’s exclusive Movies under the Stars poolside cinema.
For the best view in the house, it has to be a Sky Suite.
These amazing rooms, almost the size of a tennis court, come with private staff, free fizz, access to The Enclave and huge balconies – the biggest in the fleet – with a perfect view of the pool and movie screen.
There are only two of these beauties, but the other accommodation won’t disappoint.
Take your pick from stylish staterooms with views out to sea or private balconies, or splash out on luxurious suites with free mini-bars and skip-the-queue perks when it comes to check-in and dining. The choice is yours.
There are so many places to dine that you can refuel in a different restaurant each day of the week and still not have eaten everywhere.
Fancy something Continental? Head to Bistro sur la Mer – it even has a French take on fish and chips.
Or how about Texas-sized steaks? Pasta? Seafood? Enchanted Princess serves them all, and then some.
Start the day with breakfast on the balcony, with champagne if you want to add a little fizz to your morning.
In the evening, try a chef’s table experience, with a multi-course tasting menu and wine pairings introduced by the executive chef in person.
Whichever regional cuisines you get to sample from Chef’s signature dishes, you’re in for a treat.
Elsewhere, there are three main restaurants offering a la carte dining as well as casual self-service, pizza, pub grub, pies and sarnies plus sushi and sashimi favourites.
Phew. One thing’s for sure: you’ll never go hungry on Enchanted Princess.
Or thirsty, for that matter, because for every restaurant there is a bar. The Crown Grill, Bellini’s, Crooners, bars by the pool, the new Take Five jazz and cocktail club… You get the picture.
Too busy soaking up the sun to find a bar? No problem.
Order a drink on the Princess app and it will be delivered to you wherever you are, thanks to your Princess Medallion – a nifty piece of kit the size of a 10p coin that links to the gadgets the crew carry so they can find you.
The Medallion is incredible – it unlocks your stateroom, is used to buy things on board and connects to touchscreens around the ship so you can always find your favourite bar.
Want to book dinner? Step one, touch the Medallion to the screen; step two, pick your restaurant; step three, it’s booked; step four, use the screen to find your way there. How smart is that?

Thrills – and chills – await in July, when Enchanted Princess sets sail in search of glaciers, geysers and gushing waterfalls in Iceland.
Guests can make tracks in a snow truck on Europe’s largest glacier, or go off-piste on a hike around rocky Hesteyri.
Get hot, hot, hot in Reykjavik’s steamy Blue Lagoon – heated by geothermal waters from far below the earth’s crust, or get up close to boiling mud pools and sulphur pits in Akureyri.
On a sun-kissed voyage to the Canary Islands in August there’s kayaking, hiking and buggy rides on Gran Canaria, and beaches, lunar landscapes and whales on Tenerife.
Speed freaks can go tobogganing in a wicker basket in Funchal, Madeira. From Vigo in Spain, a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is not to be missed.
Whichever cruise route you choose, there is so much to see, do and experience.
All in all, from exploring ashore to relaxing on board, a Princess Cruise adds up to a right royal holiday.
