Share

Set sail with the Sapphire Princess and prepare yourself for sixteen nights of relaxing cruising across the sea from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles!

We include all all taxes and fees in our price, so there are no sneaky extra fees. Book quickly, because the price of this cruise is going up! Secure your suite before the price increases.
