Compared to typical land-based tours, cruises offer an incredibly relaxing way to travel. Not only do you skip the time-consuming flights and long drives, but cruise ships also come packed with entertainment options. The moment you step on board, your vacation begins. Especially appealing is the all-inclusive dining, activities, and entertainment onboard, making it ideal for budget-conscious families planning a summer getaway. Plus, with no long-haul travel involved, you can rest or eat anytime on the ship, which also makes it a great option for a parent-visiting trip with elderly family members. What’s more, there are no baggage or weight restrictions on cruises – as long as you can carry it on board, you can bring as much as you like, making it a huge plus for shopping enthusiasts. Part of the world’s largest cruise group, Carnival Corporation & PLC, Princess Cruises has been ranked the Best Cruise Line for nine consecutive years from 2007 to 2015. Its most prestigious vessel, the Golden Princess, visited Taiwan in 2016. Weighing 110,000 tons, it offers exceptional stability and a smooth ride, reducing the likelihood of seasickness. With superior space-to-guest and staff-to-guest ratios compared to other ships docking at Keelung Port, the Golden Princess features a wide variety of unique entertainment and facilities. These include the unique welcome ceremony “Champagne Waterfall Dinner,” the “Starlit Open-Air Cinema” under the night sky, the tranquil “Sanctuary Lounge” and “Lotus Spa” for peaceful moments at sea, the “Princess Theatre” showcasing Broadway-style shows, magic, and acrobatics, as well as various bars where you can dance with friends or enjoy jazz and piano performances. Food is another highlight aboard the Golden Princess. The ship houses three main dining rooms, three specialty restaurants, a lobster barbecue bar, a pizza bar, and more. From breakfast and brunch to lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and late-night snacks, delicious meals are available around the clock.
