Princess Cruises Announces Nostalgic Diamond Anniversary Voyage Celebrating 60 Years of Sailing
On
sale now, this milestone cruise onboard Royal Princess will include some of the
same ports on the first-ever voyage that set sail on December 3, 1965,
on Princess Patricia.
As
part of the announcement, Princess revealed that The Temptations, the
legendary Motown group behind the classic hit "My Girl," will sail on
the 60th anniversary voyage for a memorable performance. To mark the
occasion, The Temptations performed their beloved song live onboard Discovery
Princess today, giving guests a preview of the incredible entertainment planned
for the milestone cruise and celebrating the 60th anniversary of the
release of "My Girl," making it a double milestone event.
The
exciting announcement was delivered by Princess Cruises Celebrations
Ambassador Jill Whelan, known for her role as "Vicki Stubing" in
the beloved TV series "The Love Boat." Whelan, who has been a
cherished part of Princess Cruises' legacy, will also serve as the host for the
60th Anniversary Cruise, adding even more nostalgia to this once-in-a-lifetime
experience. Additional information revealing onboard events and additional
special guests will be announced soon.
"As
we prepare to celebrate our 60th anniversary, we can't help but look back
at where it all began with one ship sailing to Mexico," said Gus
Antorcha, president of Princess Cruises. "This commemorative 60th
Anniversary Cruise will not only pay tribute to our rich history but also bring
together the joy of cruise travel, music and unforgettable moments. The
Temptations' performance today gives just a glimpse of the excitement and
memorable experiences we have in store for this milestone."
The
14-day 60th Anniversary Mexican Riviera Voyage aboard the Royal Princess
sails from Los Angeles on December 6 and includes two
overnight stays in Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta, plus
visits to Loreto, Manzanilla and Mazatlán. This immersive journey is a
perfect way for guests to experience the beauty of the Mexican Riviera while
celebrating six decades of Princess Cruises' legacy of exceptional service and
innovation in the cruise industry.
In
addition to the throwback 60th Anniversary Voyage, Princess will be
announcing other anniversary-related activities in the coming months.
Today,
Princess Cruises operates 16 stunning cruise ships, sailing to sought-after
destinations all over the world. The cruise line will mark another milestone in
2025 – the debut of the all-new Star Princess in October.
