    As one of the most popular and largest cruise lines in the world, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) offers a bevy of ships for cruisers to book — including its brand-new ship, Norwegian Aqua, which I had the pleasure of recently sailing.

    Princess Cruises may be known for a few stand-out features — great service, excellent dining, etc. — but the line is not known for having ships that are particularly large.

Here’s what you can expect on all the Princess ships, with the entire fleet listed by size, largest to smallest.

    From its newest ship, Star Princess, to its oldest ship, Grand Princess, Princess Cruises delivers an enjoyable, almost old-fashioned cruising experience. The focus is on spectacular service, world-class amenities and a relaxing, enjoyable time — not flashy features like the first roller coaster at sea or the first go-karting track at sea.

    Norwegian Cruise Line boasts 20 ships in its ever-growing fleet, spread across seven major classes: Sun, Dawn, Jewel, Breakaway, Breakaway Plus, Prima and Prima Plus class. (Technically, Norwegian Epic, Pride of America and Norwegian Spirit stand apart in their own, independent classes.)Each class is unique in its own way, with ships that may cater best to different kinds of cruisers. Here’s everything cruisers need to know about the different Norwegian Cruise Line ship classes, before they book.

    Ensenada Cruise Port is one of Mexico’s most popular maritime gateways, located in the vibrant coastal city of Ensenada in Baja California. This bustling port welcomes cargo vessels and a steady stream of cruise ships year-round. Despite the industrialized nature of the port itself, visiting offers cruise passengers an exciting blend of cultural, culinary, and natural attractions, all within a charming seaside setting.
