CARTA MUNDI MADE U.S.A.
Princess Cruises is a cruise line owned by Carnival Corporation & plc.[1] The company is incorporated in Bermuda and its headquarters are in Santa Clarita, California.[2] It is the second largest cruise line by revenue. It was previously a subsidiary of P&O Princess Cruises, and is part of Holland America Group, which controls the Princess Cruises brand. The line has 17 ships, which cruise worldwide and are marketed to both American and international passengers.
The company was made famous by The Love Boat TV series, in which its ship Pacific Princess was featured. In May 2013, Royal Princess, the first Royal-class ship and the largest ship constructed for Princess at the time, became the flagship of Princess Cruises.
History
Princess Cruises was involved in litigation with General Electric in 1998 over consequential damages and lost profits resulting from a contract the two parties entered into. General Electric was to provide inspection and repair services upon the SS Sky Princess. Upon noticing surface rust on the turbine rotor, the vessel was brought ashore for cleaning and balancing, but good metal was unintentionally removed. This destabilized the rotor, forcing Princess Cruises to cancel two 10-day cruises while additional work was performed. Princess originally prevailed, being awarded nearly .6 million. On appeal, however, the judgement was reversed in favor of General Electric, and Princess Cruises only recovered the price of the contract, less than 2,000.[6]
That same year, Princess unveiled its first Grand-class vessel, the Grand Princess, which debuted on May 26. At the time, the 0 million Fincantieri-built vessel was the largest passenger ship commissioned and completed.[7] Two more ships in the class, the Golden Princess and Star Princess, pioneered the design that carried on through the rest of the six vessels in the class, with the last ship delivered in 2008.[8]
On October 23, 2000, the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O) spun-off its passenger division to form an independent company, P&O Princess Cruises.[9] In 2001, Princess Cruises headquarters moved from Century City to Santa Clarita, California.[10] P&O Princess Cruises merged with Carnival Corporation on April 17, 2003, to form the world's largest cruise operating company in a deal worth US.4 billion.[11] As a result of the merger, Carnival Corporation and P&O Princess were integrated to form Carnival Corporation & plc, with a portfolio of eleven cruise ship brands. It is a dual-listed company, registered in both the United States and the United Kingdom, with the former P&O Princess Cruises being relisted as Carnival plc, more commonly known as Carnival UK. As an American-based company, executive control of Princess Cruises was transferred to Carnival's American operations, with Carnival UK taking control of Southampton-based Cunard Line. Princess and Cunard have offices at Carnival's head offices in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
In May 2005, Princess reacquired Sea Princess from P&O, which it had transferred over just two years prior.[12]
On April 3, 2008, Micky Arison, the chairman of Carnival Corporation & plc, stated that due to the low value of the United States dollar, inflation and high shipbuilding costs, the company would not be ordering any new ships for their U.S.-based brands (Princess, Carnival Cruise Line and Holland America Line) before the economic situation improves.[
