Convenient Coastal Getaways on Princess Ships including Wine Cruises !!

Getaways of 1 to 7 days along the Pacific Coast are a wonderful, relaxing way to escape for those with less time. These
convenient sailings are offered in 2011 and 2012 on four ships, including Island, Coral, Golden and Sapphire Princess,®
and include our popular 7-day Wine Country Coastal sailing, a 7-day California Coastal roundtrip from Los Angeles and
1- to 4-day Pacific Coastals. It’s the perfect easy getaway to leave your responsibilities behind and enjoy all the leisurely
activities, entertainment and amenities of a Princess® ship.


 OK,,,  I KNOW THAT IS THE QUEEN MARY, !!!!  But isn't it a nice photo?  By the way,  the rest of these I took on a trip in May, 2008.  A coastal voyage.  May is fantastic in Buchart Gardens.  I have never seen taller tulips and more varieties in my life!  Here is one of them.

I have been to Buchart Gardens a few times and won't sail a coastal itinerary without Victoria, B.C.  on the itinerary...  Sorry for all the photos but Coastal Trips offer a lot to see and they are the most cost effective way to cruise as the ships are repositioning to and from Alaska for the season!  This is also a great combo to a beginning of the season Alaska Cruise!                                                                                                                                        Look at the schedule and plan one today!

  They travel every Spring and Fall.

To the Left is Docking in the sleepy town of Astoria, Oregon on a misty morning.. 


Below are some itineraries that Princess is doing but you can also find them on NCL, Royal Caribbean and of course Holland America.  Basically any ship that is going to Alaska including the Deluxe and Luxury Lines.
