The Coral Princess belongs to Princess Cruises’ Coral class. The ship was built in 2002 in Saint-Nazaire by Chantiers de l’Atlantique. It is 294 meters long and 32 meters wide, has a gross tonnage of 91,627 GT, and reaches a published speed of 22 knots. It sails under the flag of Bermuda, with Hamilton listed as its port of registry; Vancouver and Fort Lauderdale, by contrast, are seasonal ports of departure for the itineraries described here.

Ship and amenities

The Coral Princess has 15 decks and around 1,000 cabins. Capacity figures distinguish between 2,000 lower berths and a maximum occupancy of 2,390 guests. Cruisemapper lists approximately 895 crew members. The pool area includes four swimming pools. According to Cruisemapper, the ship was last refurbished in November 2024.

Destinations and itinerary character

In summer 2025, Princess Cruises deployed the Coral Princess on Alaska itineraries. The published round trips from Vancouver lasted five to eleven days. The “Voyage of the Glaciers” itinerary between Vancouver and Whittier was listed as lasting seven to fourteen days and passed glacier regions such as Glacier Bay and Hubbard Glacier. The cruise line named Juneau, Ketchikan, and Skagway among the ports of call. This is a dated seasonal program for 2025; it describes neither a year-round service nor the later destination of every individual departure.

A separate program scheduled for October 15–29, 2026, was a 14-night round trip from Fort Lauderdale through the Caribbean. The published itinerary included eight port calls and five full days at sea. The eight ports included Philipsburg, Basseterre, Fort-de-France, Roseau, St. George’s, Port of Spain, Oranjestad, and Willemstad. In Oranjestad, Aruba, the itinerary scheduled a port stay from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on October 25, meaning twelve hours in port. The five full days at sea mark longer stretches between shore visits. These details apply specifically to this October program.
