- This page is devoted to
photographs and postcards of the Princess Cruises vessel Golden
Princess, leaving on her official Maiden Voyage from Southampton
to Barcelona on May 16th 2001 (she had actually completed a few
shakedown "cruises to nowhere" before this voyage).
She left Southampton shortly after 6pm, but her departure had
been preceded by a 5pm departure of Oriana, giving the
opportunity to photograph both ships together.
-
- Golden Princess was built by Fincantieri of Venice,
Italy and weighs 108806 gross tons. She is 289 metres long, carries
2592 passengers (3300 max) and has a crew of 1100. Golden
Princess takes over the Grand Princess itinerary of Barcelona-Istanbul
cruises in summer and Caribbean cruises in the winter.
-
- Oriana was built by Meyer of Papenburg,
Germany in 1995. She weighs 69153 gross tons, is 260 metres long,
carries 1760 passengers and has a crew of 760. Oriana
operates a varied selection of cruises from Southampton including
one world cruise each year.

Princess Postcards

- The first official card
of Golden Princess uses the same image as a previous Grand Princess (use of a magnifying glass even
shows the name as Grand
Princess).
Golden Princess is the second ship in the 108000grt Grand
Class, and replaced Grand
Princess on
her Mediterranean and Caribbean itineraries. The third sister,
Star
Princess, was
delivered in 2002, and initially operated out of LA to Mexico.
