The Coral Princess cruise ship was designed specifically to fit through the Panama Canal, but it’s advantages do not stop there. The narrow design of the Coral Princess cruise ship makes it a joy for cruising the Inside Passage of Alaska.

Although the Coral Princess cruise ship is narrower than most of the Princess Cruiseline, she is just as long, thus providing ample room for other amenities aboard this ship. The Coral Princess cruise ship has less inside cabins, thus utilizing more of the space inside the ship for the Princess amenities we all love. Almost 85 percent of the rooms on the Coral Princess cruise ship are outside rooms and over 80 percent of these provide balconies. This is the perfect combination when it comes to taking an Alaskan cruise or a Panama Canal cruise because you will certainly not want to miss a moment of scenery just because you are in your room.
