P&O PRINCESS CRUISES INTRODUCES TAHITIAN PRINCESS & PACIFIC PRINCESS Beginning December 24, 2002, P&O Cruises will debut Tahitian Princess, formerly the R4, with year-round, 10-day sailings in Tahiti and Her Islands and other South Pacific destinations. The former R3 will premiere as Pacific Princess and will operate only half of the year in Tahiti and Her Islands and other South Pacific destinations. Though both vessels are smaller than the other vessels in their fleet, P&O Princess Cruises feels they will offer a more intimate cruising environment. Itineraries are in the process of being finalized and special promotional pricings are being offered.
