Ushering
in a new era in design, this exciting ship is one of
cruising's most advanced passenger vessels. Coral Princess
offers the same vast array of public room space as Princess'
renowned larger ships but, in a twist, spread over two decks
and with fewer passengers aboard and offering the most
staterooms with balconies in the Princess fleet.
