Several Princess Cruises ships will temporarily depart California to sail the Alaskan summer season, but the Sapphire Princess will stay behind for the first time to offer itineraries from Los Angeles. Starting June 25, 2022, the ship will sail to Mexico, Hawaii and the California coast on a total of 16 voyages ranging in length from four to 16 days.
Cruises are currently on sale for the 2,670-guest MedallionClass ship, which features over 700 balconies, fine dining, exciting entertainment and the latest in Medallion wearable technology. The quarter-size device — either worn on the wrist or as a necklace — effortlessly facilitates contactless embarkation and disembarkation, onboard wayfinding, mobile ordering and, as of recently, onshore purchases.
