Island Princess was built to Panamax size – this means she can offer you the exclusive experience of sailing through the Panama Canal!

Featured on just one other Princess ship, the Bayou Café and Steakhouse is a unique dining venue onboard in which to enjoy authentic New Orleans cuisine accompanied by live jazz.
