Princess Cruises recently announced that one of its bigger ships, the 2,670-passenger Sapphire Princess, will sail a 28-day roundtrip voyage to Tahiti from Los Angeles in late 2011.
The sailing will also include stops in Hawaii and Samoa. “It's the first time Princess has offered a roundtrip sailing from Los Angeles to Tahiti in at least 20 years,” spokeswoman Susanne Ferrull told USA TODAY.
Scheduled to kick off on Oct. 22, 2011, the 28-day South Pacific sailing will include calls at Hilo, Honolulu, Kauai, Maui, Pago Pago, Apia, Bora Bora, Moorea, and Tahiti, as well as two crossings of the Equator.
Sapphire Princess is joining Golden Princess in sailing to the Pacific out of Los Angeles. The Golden Princess offers 14-day roundtrip cruises to Hawaii from the city's port.
