SEABOURN CRUISE Linas’ Pride (above) will bé sailing from
Vancouver next summers on the Alaska run.

Sun Princess, which will be the
largest passenger ship afloat when it
goes into service in the Caribbean
next month, looks like being a daz-
zler in the food department. The
ship, 77,000 tons and with the first
cruises sold out to capacity loads of
1950 passengers, has two dining
rooms, a 24- hour food court, pizze-
tia (Princess’ pizzas are good made
by Italians and are good!), patis-
seric, grili, 24-hour roon-service

-and a wine and caviar bar.

Sun Princess has 1011 state-
tooms, 603 of them outside and 411
with balconies, two show lounges:
offering a choice of a Broadway-
style production or cabaret, and
something new, a room with seven
leather “listening chairs” where pas-
sengers can listen to books or music
on tape. Caribbean fares start at
$799 U.S.”

The new ship will join the
Crown, Regal, Star, Sky and Golden
Princess in Alaska next season with
the Sun Princess in Vancouvet every
Saturday doing weekly roundtrips.

Cunard, meanwhile, has made
early-booking savings ayaitable to
