According to a 2018 cruise survey by TrendForce, Taiwanese people hold three major misconceptions about cruises: "high onboard spending," "cramped and enclosed spaces," and "fear of boredom on board." These misconceptions stem from a lack of understanding and familiarity with cruise travel.

To address this,the renowned luxury cruise brand – Princess Cruises – invested millions to produce the annual brand film Yes, Princess!, and additionally created a physical experience booth at New Taipei Christmasland, aiming to shatter the stereotypical image of cruises.

For the first time ever, Princess Cruises has built a cruise experience booth at New Taipei Christmasland, offering the public a hands-on encounter so everyone can become a cruise expert.

Given the outstanding performance and rave reviews of the Majestic Princess’s inaugural Taiwan voyage in 2018, this year's cruise experience booth (available from now until December 31) allows consumers who couldn't sail this year to get up close. Through two interactive games — “Yes, Princess ! Big Challenge” and the “Yes ! I Want to Cruise with Princess” photo booth — as well as classic Princess Cruises facilities such as the popular selfie hotspot Skywalk at Sea and the Around the World Flying Cruise, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of cruise life.

Princess Cruises brings joyful holiday activities for Christmas and the New Year, allowing visitors to New Taipei Christmasland a peek at the real cruise vacation experience. The Majestic Princess will return to Keelung Port in Taiwan in April 2019 to kick off its sailing season, and early bird discounts are also available: book before November 26 to enjoy one of two perks — 50% off the second person’s fare in an inside cabin, and discounted fares for the third and fourth persons sharing a room (on Okinawa-exclusive voyages, all cabins get 50% off for the second person), or save up to NT$6,000 per cabin.
