Princess Cruises broke into the cruise industry in 1965 with the debut of the Princess Patricia, the original Princess Cruises Love Boat. 

Since then, they’ve welcomed 38 other ships to their fleet.

They pride themselves on carrying “more than a million passengers each year to more worldwide destinations than any other major line.”

Celebrity’s newest ship, Celebrity Beyond, made its much-anticipated arrival to North America last week - and its been hyped as the best ship in the cruise line's fleet.

Celebrity Cruises has always been a popular cruise line, but they just broke one of their own records.
