SANTA CLARITA,
Calif. -- Princess Cruises will send two ships -- the Golden
Princess and the Pacific Princess -- to South America late next
year for the 2006-2007 winter season.
The line said the
06-07 season will be its first two-ship South America
season.
The 2,600-passenger
Golden Princess will sail around Cape Horn and will offer cruises
on both sides of the continent, including a 16-day Santiago, Chile,
to Acapulco, Mexico, voyage that includes a visit to Machu Picchu,
Peru; and a 16-day cruise from New Orleans to Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil.
The 670-passenger
Pacific Princess, meanwhile, will sail the Amazon River and offer
two Andes cruises in Peru.
