2014 Scuba Cruise Update

This update is coming to you 495 days prior to the Scuba Cruise!  We currently have 19 certified scuba divers as well as their non-diving friends booked on this cruise; unbelievably, space on the cruise is getting very tight!  If you have not yet booked your stateroom, you may want to do so soon, as the ship is expected to sell out quickly.  With only 680 passengers, the Ocean Princess is the smallest ship in Princess' fleet, and the only type of ship that can call on islands in the South Pacific.

There are just five types of staterooms onboard Ocean Princess: Interior Double, Oceanview Double, Oceanview Double with Balcony, Mini-Suites and Owner's Suites. What's important, though, is that size may vary even within like groups. Oceanview Doubles, for example, clock in between 146 and 206 square feet -- that's a pretty big range (Categories CC on Deck 7 and G on Deck 6 are the roomiest); likewise for the Owner's Suites, which measure approximately 786 square feet to 962 square feet with the verandah (figure an average of 874).  Please contact SuzyCruisy, our group agent to book your stateroom; she's very familiar with the ship and can help you find the best room in your budget.

I will be contacting the dive operator in February 2013 to obtain more detailed pricing information - right now all we have are estimates.  Please note that the dives in Tahiti are easily double the price we are used to paying in the Caribbean!  At least you have a year and a half to save up for this trip!  If you want to dive with us, please refer to the group website for updates.  As soon as pricing for 2014 is confirmed, it will be posted there.

Here is the itinerary for the cruise:
