Chen and Trangs commitment to authenticity, community support, and unique offerings have led to reaching serendipitous dreams and accomplishments.

Signature Phin Coffee

Columbia City’s Vietnamese cafe Coffeeholic House opened its second location in Greenwood at the beginning of October. Sourcing coffee directly from Vietnam, Coffeeholic offers modern takes on traditional Vietnamese drinks, like its ube latte (Purple Haze), and best-seller Coffeeholic Dream, made with salted cheese foam. About two months after their dash to Las Vegas, the Stahls decided to drive up to this mystery spot and have a look around. They found themselves gawping at the entirety of Los Angeles spread out below in a grid that went on for an eternity or two. In the kismet-filled conversation that followed, Buck agreed to buy the barren one-eighth-acre lot for $13,500, with $100 down and the seller maintaining the mortgage until the Stahls paid it off.

Coffeeholic House Brings the Latest in Vietnamese Coffee to Seattle

On that site, they would construct Case Study House #22, designed by Pierre Koenig, arguably the most famous of all the houses in the famous Case Study program that Arts & Architecture magazine initiated in 1945. For generations of pilgrims, gawkers, architecture students, and midcentury-modern aficionados, it would be known simply as the Stahl House. Chen Dien and Trang Cao are a husband-wife duo and cofounders of Seattle's first Vietnamese coffee shop, Coffeeholic House. They immigrated from Vietnam to bring the coffee-rich culture of their country to Seattle in 2020. “Our best-sellers are the ube latte and Bac Siu,” said Dien.

This wildly popular Vietnamese coffee shop is opening a second location!

Chen Dien and his wife worked for about a year to get the coffee shop off the ground. Since they came to Seattle eight years ago from Vietnam, Chen Dien and his wife Trang Cao have searched for a cup of coffee that could, for a sip, transport them home. When they couldn’t find it, they decided to make it themselves. Back at the shop, Dien and Cao continue to offer a menu that includes espresso-based drinks alongside drinks made through traditional Vietnamese phin brewing devices. "People think [Robusta] is just cheap coffee. It's something you use for instant coffee, $2-$3 collars a cup," said Dien.

With the intention that each cup of coffee brewed tells our story, expresses authenticity and inspires others. They mainly serve their own creations like Coffeeholic Dream, Coconut coffee, Bac Siu and White-hazel latte. And most importantly, the authentic Vietnamese coffee, using Organic Robusta beans from Vietnam and brew with the traditional phin-dripped methods. The flavors profile they are trying to bring are nutty, rich, thick body and caramelly. Coffeeholic House is a startup shop founded by passionate people who wants to establish a new coffee trend in Seattle. Their mission is to help save the environment while doing what they love and serve beautiful cups of coffee.

Shulman’s famous seven-minute exposure captures the house and its sprawling city backdrop. The house in 1960, as captured by Julius Shulman during the day. They also carry food items like a coconut bun, green onion shredded pork bun, apple turnover, cinnamon roll, and blueberry cream cheese kolach. Though indoor seating is not yet possible, the interior design features hanging lamps made to look like Vietnamese silk lanterns, a painting of Vietnamese tropical birds and flowers, and black and white patterned paintings. And above the espresso bar is a small loft area with tropical plants and additional seating. While the colorful drinks may draw people in, Dien hopes they'll also inspire guests to enjoy coffee as they do in Vietnam.

Coffeeholic House sources it's beans directly from Vietnam (the country is the world's second largest coffee exporter) and roasts them in-house in small batches. Those beans provide the base for all manner of creative, and Instagram-worthy, coffee creations. Get ready to indulge in a coffee experience like never before, an unparalleled journey that will leave you inspired and yearning for more. A signature latte made with roasted black sesame seeds and locally roasted rich espresso. Things never go exactly as planned when opening a restaurant, and that goes double when it opens one week before Gov. Jay Inslee issued the state’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order.

The Hottest Coffee Shops to Check Out

Their best seller is the Coffeeholic Dream (don't forget to add the ube drizzle!), but my personal favorite is the Purple Haze Latte.Customer service is top notch. The baristas greet you upon entering and are extremely attentive. A Vietnamese coffee with a hint of hazelnut topped with a layer of salted cheese foam. “When I built in steel, what you saw was what you got,” the plain-spoken Koenig once said. What Buck and Carlotta Stahl got when they drove up to Woods Drive in 1954 was more than they ever envisioned.

Blended, Teas & Kids Drinks

Forget the typical high-acidic or sour notes; our Vietnamese coffee promises a blissful experience with its captivating body and aroma. This will be the third location for the boutique coffee shop and the first that is located on the Eastside. The other two are currently open in Columbia City and Greenwood.

Thanks equally to the owners’ inspiring flexibility and their original coffee drinks, Columbia City’s Coffeeholic House is an extremely welcome bright spot. In her spare time, she enjoys cycling, cooking, frequenting the Bellevue Downtown Park with her family and searching for the perfect chocolate treat. Even as the shop has seen a steady flow of foot traffic during the pandemic, the owners are naturally looking forward to a time when guests can more deeply take in their Vietnamese-inspired surroundings. After working in coffee since their teenage years, Dien and Cao signed a lease on the Columbia City storefront in July of 2019. Following months of permitting, inspections and a meticulous buildout, the grand opening unfortunately coincided with the pandemic surge, and the shop opened with just takeout and curbside pickup.

There are also alternative drink options like a honey latte, a matcha latte, and blended drinks. Phin coffee drinks are crafted on customized black phin brewers that display Coffeeholic’s name on the top. A Seattle coffee shop is bucking trends during the COVID-19 crisis. While many local businesses and restaurants have had to shut their doors, Coffeeholic House opened theirs.

Back home in L.A., as the newlyweds pondered their future, they became preoccupied with a promontory of land jutting out like the prow of a ship from Woods Drive in the Hollywood Hills, about 125 feet above Sunset Boulevard. It was as conspicuous as it was forbidding, visible from the couple’s house on nearby Hillside Avenue. “This lot was in pure view—every morning, every night,” Carlotta Stahl recalled. Locals called it Pecker Point, presumably because it was a prime makeout venue. For the Stahls, it became the blank screen on which they projected their dreams of a life together, a place to build a future, a family, and a house like no other. Our coffee is single origin, carefully selected and imported directly from Da Lat, Vietnam.

"But for us we want to take that to a specialty level, showcase the coffee culture we grew up with and redefine that 'oh, it's not cheap. It's something we value. It's a big part of our heart, our family and also the whole country." Coffeeholic House is a visionary startup founded by passionate coffee enthusiasts aiming to ignite a new coffee revolution in the heart of Seattle. The dynamic husband and wife duo, Chen & Trang, founded Coffeeholic House to introduce Seattle to the unique Vietnamese coffee experience. In March 1954, Clarence “Buck” Stahl and Carlotta May Gates drove from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and got married in a chapel. They each worked in aviation (Buck in sales, Carlotta as a receptionist), had previous marriages, and were strapping, tall, and extremely good looking—California Apollonians out of central casting.

Opening three locations in three years, building strong local relationships, and placing on Forbes 30 Under 30 list in August of 2023.

Coffeeholic House serves their own creations like Coffeeholic Dream, coconut coffee, bac siu, white-hazel latte, and the authentic Vietnamese coffee with cream cheese foam. They also feature an ube or matcha latte, hot chocolate iced chocolate, strawberry milk, and different flavors of green tea. I wish I could remember what I exclaimed when I had my first sip at Coffeeholic House (although we probably couldn’t print it anyway). The Vietnamese coffee shop’s bestselling drink—nutty robusta coffee topped with cream cheese foam—delivers a sweet-and-salty combo so scarcely found in beverages that it drives me to Columbia City most every weekend.

"It really tells the story of our background. How we're immigrants, bringing all the good stuff in Vietnamese food culture to the world and putting it in a cup of coffee." At Coffeeholic House, each of those cups is another chance to share Vietnamese coffee culture with Seattle. "[The cheese foam] is kind of salted, so it's a little bit weird, but when they take the first sip and the coffee goes through the foam it's just perfectly blended together. It's like a dessert in a cup, but it's strong and bold," explained Dien with a smile. One of the staples at Coffeeholic House is traditional Vietnamese coffee made with Phin drip coffee and condensed milk for a serious caffeine kick.

While many local businesses and restaurants have had to shut their doors, Coffeeholic House opened theirs.

Coffeeholic House, an authentic Vietnamese coffee shop, is planned to open on April 28th. It is located on Main Street in Old Bellevue at One Main Street. Opening at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic’s first wave in Seattle’s Columbia City neighborhood, Coffeeholic House has been offering a welcome slice of contemporary Vietnamese coffee culture. One of the things that sets Vietnamese coffee apart is the beans themselves, Robusta, as opposed to the Arabica beans typically used for more coffee and espresso drinks in the States. “This place is an absolute MUST if you visit Seattle, especially if you're a fan of Vietnamese coffee.

The best seller is the aptly named Coffeeholic Dream, a mix of Vietnamese coffee, condensed milk and hazelnut syrup topped with, yes, a layer of cheese foam. At Coffeeholic House, Dien and his wife, Trang, are bringing a taste of Vietnamese coffee culture to Columbia City. It's something they missed after moving from Vietnam to Seattle back in 2013. We meticulously source Organic Robusta beans from the coffee haven of Vietnam and roast locally here in Seattle, WA. Brewing coffee using the traditional phin-drip method, preserves its distinctive nutty, rich, and caramel-like profile.

Oceania Cruises is the world’s leading culinary- and destination-focused cruise line. Norwegian Cruise Line has been breaking the boundaries of traditional cruising for more than 56 years. In 1984 Norwegian Caribbean Lines purchased Royal Viking Line and in 1987 it changed its name to Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) to reflect an expanded route structure. Carnival Cruise Line is owned and operated by Carnival Corporation & PLC. Royal Caribbean is owned and operated by Royal Caribbean Group.

On December 9, 2019, the keel of the first ship was laid down and named Norwegian Prima. It was launched in August 2021 and commenced sailing in the same month of 2022. The second ship was named Norwegian Viva in early 2022 and expected to be completed by 2023.

As it ushered in a new generation of ships, two ships the Norwegian Dream and Norwegian Wind underwent extensive reconstructions with each ship stretched 130 feet with the largest “mid-body” inserts done in the industry. The 1990s also marked a series of other firsts including the first WiFi capabilities on a cruise ship and later cell phone service fleetwide even while ships were at sea. We operate Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises. Our diverse brands offer a high level of onboard service and rich experiences for our guests. Whether guests are looking for unparalleled freedom, immersive sensory experiences, or all-inclusive luxury, they’ll find what they love aboard our fleet.

MSC Cruise Cancelled Due to Operational Reasons - Cruise Hive

MSC Cruise Cancelled Due to Operational Reasons.

The bigger MSC Cruises ships offer vacationers a ton of options for dining (some vessels have more than a dozen distinct places to eat dinner or at least grab a quick bite) or entertainment. In a typical summer, the line will deploy the vast majority of its ships in the Mediterranean or northern Europe. In recent years, the line has also kept at least a couple of ships in Florida in summer for voyages to the Caribbean and the Bahamas. This year, the line had two ships based in Florida for summer sailings to the Caribbean and the Bahamas, plus one ship sailing out of New York City for the summer.

I sailed on MSC's newest and oldest ships: Here's what it's like to cruise on new ships vs. older.

Several of the line's newest vessels, including MSC Grandiosa and MSC Bellissima, also have the French cuisine-serving L'Atelier Bistrot. They also have an inordinate amount of teen- and tween-friendly attractions — everything from some of the largest waterslides at sea to sprawling amusement areas with race car simulators, flight simulators and XD cinemas (more on all this below). That makes them particularly appealing to families, including multigenerational groups. MSC Grandiosa, MSC Virtuosa and MSC Euribia, which debuted in 2019, 2021 and 2023, respectively, are a tad longer than MSC Bellissima and MSC Meraviglia and are considered a subset of the class known as Meraviglia Plus. Each can hold 4,842 passengers at double occupancy (or 6,334 passengers if every last pulldown bunk and pullout sofa is filled). The newest MSC Cruises ships are particularly known for being bustling, activity-packed ships.

One step up is the more expensive "Fantastica" experience, which adds room service and breakfast delivered to your cabin, priority choice of dinner sittings, access to additional kids activities and classes, and more. At this level and above, you can pick a specific cabin when booking. The demographic profile of MSC Cruises ships can be markedly different depending on where the vessels are based. On Caribbean sailings out of Florida, you'll find that a large percentage of passengers are English-speaking North Americans. The eight smaller ships, which in general are the line's older ships, allow MSC Cruises to offer itineraries to places that aren't as easy for big ships to visit. Not all ports in the world can handle a ship the size of the World Class or Meraviglia Class vessels, although even the biggest MSC Cruises ships are still designed to be able to call at most ports around the world.

Last but not least, MSC Meraviglia will be alternating between cruises to Bermuda and cruises to Florida and the Bahamas from New York, from where the ship operates year-round. This American-style steak house serves select Linz heritage angus beef, gold standard in high-end angus beef thanks to the best genetics in breed. The highest quality product custom cut by master butchers and aged to perfection.

Quattro Venti Restaurant

There also are sushi bars on more than half the line's ships, with varying names like Kaito Sushi and Galaxy Sushi. MSC Cruises voyages in Europe are often heavily filled with Europeans speaking Italian, German, Spanish and French, as well as some English speakers. In Europe, the line offers onboard programming in all five of these languages (all crew members speak English no matter where the ships are sailing).

EUROPE

Other relatively new MSC Cruises ships include MSC World Europa, MSC Seascape, MSC Seashore and MSC Virtuoso. Although it's barely a couple of months old, it'll soon be supplanted as the newest MSC Cruises vessel by another new MSC Cruises ship, MSC World America, which is scheduled to begin sailing in April 2025. Available for guests travelling on MSC Euribia, MSC Seascape, MSC World Europa, MSC Seashore, MSC Virtuosa, MSC Bellissima, MSC Grandiosa, MSC Meraviglia, MSC Seaside, MSC Seaview. For guests who want to see it all, there will also be an option to combine both itineraries to create a 14-night Eastern and Western Caribbean Cruise. Hunger can strike at any time and at the Atmosphere Bar South our expert chefs serve up fresh and tasty specialities hot off the grill.

Il Campo Restaurant

Exclusive to MSC Yacht Club Guests, the MSC Yacht Club Sundeck & Bar, offers a luxurious and tranquil place to enjoy an aperitif.Surround yourself in the lap of luxury and let our artful bar tenders prepare something special for you! For the connoisseur there is a handpicked selection of premium drinks available. Relax at the poolside with friends and family, with a refreshing drink from the Atmosphere Bar North. From Signature Cocktails, beers, coladas, soft drinks, coffee and tea there is something to suit everyone’s taste. Broadcasting live throughout the ship, our TV Studio and radio suite air live games, quizzes, talent contests and other fun content. An excellent selection of cocktails, beer, wine and soft drinks are available to get you ready for your big performance.

As noted above, the MSC Cruises fleet includes eight of the world's 20 biggest cruise vessels — MSC World Europa, MSC Euribia, MSC Virtuosa, MSC Grandiosa, MSC Meraviglia, MSC Bellissima, MSC Seashore and MSC Seascape. Built in the last six years, these eight ships aren't quite as big as Royal Caribbean's giant Oasis Class vessels (the world's biggest cruise ships), but they're right up there when it comes to amenities and passenger capacity. Step into the MSC Yacht Club, an exclusive private sanctuary available to you on MSC Cruises. Here, you can discover elegance with luxury suites offering a 24/7 butler service. Enjoy curated menus in a private restaurant and unwind on the secluded pool deck.

Cruise Hive was established back in 2008 and among the earliest blogs in the industry. Since the start, it's been our aim to provide the latest cruise news covering all the major cruise lines. We make sure cruisers are fully prepared for their cruise vacation with tips on ships and ports.Millions of travelers rely on Cruise Hive in the United States, Europe, Australia, and around the world. MSC Seascape’s shorter sailings, which will last for 3 to 4-nights, will sail to the Bahamas, calling on Ocean Cay and Nassau. While MSC World America’s debut in the US is certainly something to look forward to, she won’t be the only vessel sailing in US waters throughout summer 2025.

For cruises that are five to nine nights in length, you'd earn from 500 to 1,500 points depending on the experience. Smoking (including electronic cigarette smoking) is allowed in a limited number of designated areas on ships, with the primary smoking area on ships being an outdoor pool area that varies by ship and is indicated by signage. Smoking is forbidden in cabins and on cabin balconies, and those who violate this rule will face a $250 fee. Also, a 15% gratuity is added to bills at bars for cruisers who do not have a drinks package. If you buy a drinks package, the gratuity charges for drinks is folded into the package price when you book it. A 15% service charge is also added to items in minibars, salons and spas.

On the line's Meraviglia and Seaside Class ships, top-deck amenities include sprawling back-of-the-ship water parks with multiple waterslides, ropes courses and watery play areas for the little ones. Many of the Gallerias, for example, are home to an innovative chocolate bar and boutique created by well-known French patissier and chocolatier Jean-Philippe Maury. Like other megaship lines, MSC Cruises is known for big, glitzy theater productions performed in onboard theaters that are as state-of-the-art as anything you'll find on Broadway.

Once on board an MSC Cruises ship, you'll pay extra for most drinks, extra-charge restaurants, spa services, shore excursions, internet and a few other amenities — unless you've paid up for a more inclusive package. For instance, at the time of publication, four-night sailings from Miami to the Bahamas in September 2024 start at just $249 per person, not including taxes and fees of $100. That works out to just $87.25 per person, per night, with taxes and fees, for a package that includes your lodging, transportation and meals. For a sailing of under five nights, for instance, your earnings would range from 200 to 800 points depending on the experience you book.

The Costa Concordia began to drift and, investigators later explained, list as a result of water in the damaged hull. By 10.15pm, the Italian coastguard began getting reports of trouble on board directly from the passengers, but Schettino still did not react. The 3,299 passengers who boarded the Costa Concordia on 13 January in the Italian port city of Civitavecchia for their seven-day cruise around the Mediterranean had much to enjoy. There were 1,500 cabins, one of the largest fitness centres at sea, a Turkish bath and solarium, a poolside movie theatre on the main pool deck, and 13 bars, including one devoted to cognac.

But after eight years in the U.S. and then Italian court system, they lost their case. It also emerged that holidaymaker Maria D'Introno - whose body has yet to be recovered - was told to get out of a lifeboat because it was too full and the tilt of the ship made it impossible to launch safely. At least since Titanic, cruise accidents have sparked new safety standards. She has been based in London since late 2003, after having been based in Moscow ( ).

And on Thursday, as he arrived for the commemorative Mass, he received an award from the Civil Protection Agency. Mr Verusio wrote that they died ''because they were unable to find any space in a lifeboat on deck four, on the left-hand side, and they were then directed to the right-hand side by crew members on the same deck but as they were crossing the inside corridor ... They fell into a hole that had been created when the ship rolled onto its right side.

A decade after that harrowing night, the survivors are grateful to have made it out alive. None of the survivors who spoke with Cobiella have been on a cruise since that day. The calamity caused changes in the cruise industry like carrying more lifejackets and holding emergency drills before leaving port. "I felt like (my daughters) were going to get trampled, and putting my arms around them and just holding them together and letting the sea of people go by us." Ananias and her family declined Costa’s initial $14,500 compensation offered to each passenger and sued Costa, a unit of U.S.-based Carnival Corp., to try to cover the cost of their medical bills and therapy for the post-traumatic stress they have suffered.

Safety regulations

“I did that to calm the passengers down, I feared that otherwise there would be panic,” Schettino said in his defence at trial. Saturday marks 25 years since the massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, in which two gunmen killed 12 students and a teacher. His father spoke to Karen Morfitt about the far-reaching legacy his son left behind. We look back at the life and career of the longtime host of "Sunday Morning," and "one of the most enduring and most endearing" people in broadcasting. From labor shortages to environmental impacts, farmers are looking to AI to help revolutionize the agriculture industry. One California startup, Farm-ng, is tapping into the power of AI and robotics to perform a wide range of tasks, including seeding, weeding and harvesting.

The salvage of the Costa Concordia was the most expensive such operation in history, with an estimated cost of $1.2bn. The operation, led by a wisecracking South African named Nick Sloane, involved first moving the capsized vessel into an upright position, and then slowly shifting it into deeper water. In such an unprecedented operation, environmental contamination was a constant threat, with tonnes of rotting food, passenger belongings and other items still located on the vessel.

The final mad scramble to evacuate the listing liner and then the extraordinary generosity of Giglio islanders who offered shoes, sweatshirts and shelter until the sun rose and passengers were ferried to the mainland. “I imagine it like a nail stuck to the wall that marks that date, as a before and after,” he said, recounting how he joined the rescue effort that night, helping pull ashore the dazed, injured and freezing passengers from lifeboats. The blackout after the ship's engine room flooded and its generators failed.

He was charged with manslaughter as well as causing the wreck and abandoning ship. During the 19-month trial, prosecutors claimed that he was an “idiot,” while Schettino countered that his actions had saved lives and that he was being scapegoated. In addition, he noted the steering error by the helmsman, but a maritime expert testified that regardless of the mistake, the collision was unavoidable. In February 2015 Schettino was convicted on all charges and sentenced to more than 16 years in prison. He appealed the verdict, but it was upheld in May 2017; Schettino began serving his sentence shortly thereafter.

The story of a passenger who drowned after giving up his seat in a lifeboat features in a report released by prosecutors. The plan is to raise the wreck just a couple of yards at first and then float her into slightly deeper water to check for leaks of toxic materials and secure the flotation chambers more securely. Only then will the Costa Concordia be raised another 30 feet or so and finally towed away. Divers have been moving within the wreck, removing what they can, but the remains of one of the victims, a crew member on the ship, have never been found.

The Costa Concordia has been sitting upright on an underwater steel platform since last September. Six months later, the Concordia itself still looms just offshore, and it's Nick Sloane's job to remove it. Little remains on the decks except a jumble of lounge chairs by the empty swimming pools. But, on the underside, a huge chunk of rock that ripped open the hull is clearly visible.

To lessen any potential damage, oil booms were placed around the wreckage, and in February 2012 salvage workers began removing more than 2,000 tons of fuel; the undertaking was completed the following month. The captain of the Costa Condordia, Francesco Schettino, is still on trial for his role in the disaster. With any luck, the evidence of the crime will be gone before the trial ends. It's the biggest salvage operation ever attempted -- and one of the most risky, reports CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips.

Off the coast of Italy, Costa Concordia is one step closer to being towed to its final resting place. Ortelli was later on hand when, in September 2013, the 115,000-ton, 300-meter (1,000-foot) long cruise ship was righted vertical off its seabed graveyard in an extraordinary feat of engineering. But the night of the disaster, a Friday the 13th, remains seared in his memory. The 10th anniversary is also recalling how the residents of Giglio took in the 4,200 surviving passengers and crew, giving them food, blankets and a place to rest until day broke and they were ferried to the mainland. Giglio’s people then lived with the Concordia’s 115,000-ton, 300-meter (1,000-foot) carcass for another two years until it was righted and hauled away for scrap. Ortelli was later on hand when, in September 2013, the 115,000-ton, 1,000-foot long cruise ship was righted vertical off its seabed graveyard in an extraordinary feat of engineering.

The chaotic scenes of panic and disorganisation that gripped the ship as it started to sink are evident throughout the report. The 60-page document makes up the official request to have captain Francesco Schettino - who was in charge at the time - sent for trial. The plan is to tow the ship to Genoa, in northern Italy, where she'll be broken up for scrap. But even that is a risky operation, and there's still a good week's work here before they get to that point. On Monday, authorities said they were satisfied that the operation to float the Concordia had proceeded without a hitch. "Very big lifts. We had eleven-story buildings, seven-story buildings, over eight hundred tons, so a lot of heavy lifts in a short time," director of the operation Nick Sloane said.

An array 30 metal flotation chambers have been attached along the sides of the ship. They're full of water now but are being pumped out so they can act as giant water wings and lift the Concordia. As workers began to break apart the ship in Genoa, and they discovered the body of Russel Rebello, an Indian waiter. The married commander, now 54, was accompanied by his lover, Domnica Cemortan, a classically trained dancer from Moldova. Autoworkers at a Volkswagen assembly plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, voted Friday night to join the United Auto Workers after two previous organizing attempts fell short. The historic vote marks a major breakthrough for organized labor in the South.

Explorer's Lounge hosts events for everything from Wii sports tournaments to art auctions, plus comedy shows and magicians. Princess Cruises is a USA-based passenger shipping company headquartered in Beverly Hills CA. A former subsidiary of P&O Princess Cruises (1977-founded), in 2003, the company merged with Carnival Corporation - the world's largest cruise shipowner. Among Princess Cruise Lines Ltd's assets is the Caribbean private island resort Princess Cays (on Bahamas Eleuthera Island's southern end), located approx 80 km (50 mi) from Nassau.

Camp Discovery Center (kids and teens facilities serving children ages 3-17) is created via a partnership with Discovery Channel as part of Princess Cruises "Discovery at Sea" onboard enrichment program. The itinerary includes two maiden ports (Alexandria Egypt and Patmos Island Greece) and three overnight port stays (NYC New York, Calao-Lima Peru, Quebec City). The voyage is also available for booking as a 115-day roundtrip from Brisbane QLD (May 12th) and Auckland NZ (May 6th). The Piazza offers various demonstrations, circus-lite acts and musical performances throughout the day.

From mariachis to margaritas, the Mexican Riviera is where it all began with our first cruise in 1965. More than 50 years later, we still visit the best ports like Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán and less-traveled jewels like Loreto and Manzanillo. Sail from Los Angeles or San Francisco on five- to 11-day roundtrip cruises, and stay overnight in Cabo San Lucas on select voyages for a taste of vibrant nightlife. However, sister ship Discovery Princess, which debuted in 2022, has drawn much praise, too. The main differences among these vessels are size (Discovery is larger and can hold almost 600 additional passengers), suite options (Crown Princess has fewer), and amenities.
