Pacific Princess is a cruise ship owned by Princess Cruises. She was built in 1999 by the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in St. Nazaire, France.
History
The vessel first entered operation in 1999, with Renaissance Cruises. The ship was not owned by the company, possession instead residing with a group of French investors, who leased the ship to the company. In late 2001, the entire Renaissance fleet was seized by creditors.
In late 2002, Princess Cruises was able to secure a lease for R Three, along with sister ship R Four (now Tahitian Princess). Both vessels entered operation by the end of 2002. The lease terminated at the end of 2004, at which time both vessels were purchased by Princess Cruises. Gabi Hollows renamed the ship Pacific Princess.
Statistics
Pacific Princess has many balcony cabins and a wide choice of restaurants - the dinner dining; and the 'Panorama Cafe/Buffet' for informal, al fresco breakfast and lunch; the 'Club Restaurant' for breakfast, lunch and pre-allocated dinner sittings; the 'Italian Restaurant' and 'The Grill' for alternative dining.
