Pearl Seas Cruises' Pearl Mist Slated to Begin Cruising in June 2014

Pearl Mist - Courtesy of Pearl Seas Cruises

Pearl Seas Cruises, and international off-shoot of American Cruise Lines will beginning operations on June 28th 2014 from Baltimore. The small ship, which only accommodates 210 passengers will begin a series of cruises throughout the Northeast US before heading up the Saint Lawrence Seaway for a summer season int he Great Lakes. After the season in the lakes, the ship will head back out to the Northeast US and Canada before eventually spending the winter in the Caribbean and Central America.

The Pearl Mist was constructed during 2009. Pearl Seas Cruises and the original builders in Halifax, Nova Scotia entered into a multiple year legal battle when Pearl Seas Cruises refused to take ownership stating the ship was not delivered according to specifications. Just this year (2013) that battle has been settled and the Pearl Mist's ownership was transferred from the shipyard to Pearl Seas Cruises. Pearl Seas Cruises is currently correcting the items that were not to specifications in a second shipyard (which is owned by their parent company). The work is being completed just outside of Baltimore and the ship will be ready to sail beginning in June 2014.

Pearl Seas Cruises is an international, small ship cruise line off-shoot of American Cruise Line. The Pearl Mist is registered in the Marshall Islands.

Princess Cruises Announces Itinerary Changes as a Result of Hurricane Sandy.

Princess Cruises Caribbean Princess

Hurricane Sandy Updates

October 26, 2012 at 5pm PDT

Caribbean Princess
Voyage B237
4-day cruise
Updated as of October 26, 2012 at 2pm PDT
We look forward to welcoming our passengers onboard tomorrow. We continue to monitor Hurricane Sandy as there are different forecasts on where it will make landfall. As we previously communicated, we made the decision to cancel our call to Bermuda to avoid the worst of the storm with predicted strong winds and high swells. While we make every effort to sail our itineraries as originally planned, the safety and security of our passengers and crew is our highest priority and this decision, while disappointing, is necessary.

We are currently reviewing all options for a possible alternative port to visit during this four-day cruise.  Once more information regarding the weather and berth availability is determined, we will let passengers know. Please be aware that as this is a very fluid situation, we may not have the final itinerary until later Saturday or Sunday.

For those who purchased Princess Vacation Protection and would like to review their options, please contact your travel agent or Princess for additional information. We have limited availability on other ships and itineraries.

For those passengers who are driving to the pier, we have been advised that the parking area at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is prone to flooding. For our passengers who were planning to drive and park at the pier, it is strongly recommended that instead of parking at the pier you make alternative arrangements.

We will continue to provide updates on Princess.com as more information becomes available.


Emerald Princess
Voyage E229
12-day cruise
Updated as of October 26, 2012 at 5pm PDT
Passengers joined Emerald Princess today in Quebec to begin their 12-day cruise ending in Ft. Lauderdale on November 7. We continue to monitor Hurricane Sandy as there are different forecasts on where it will make landfall. While we make every effort to sail our itineraries as originally planned, the safety and security of our passengers and crew is our highest priority.

We are currently reviewing all options allowing us to adjust our itinerary by visiting alternate ports to avoid the worst of the weather. Once more information regarding the weather and berth availability is determined, we will let passengers know. Please be aware that as this is a very fluid situation, we may not have the final itinerary until later Saturday or Sunday.

We will continue to provide updates on Princess.com as more information becomes available.
