Princess Cruises is setting sail on a nostalgic journey that pays tribute to six decades of adventure, luxury, and unforgettable memories. In December 2025, the cruise line will celebrate its 60th anniversary with a special 14-day Diamond Anniversary Voyage to the Mexican Riviera. Departing from the Port of Los Angeles on December 6, 2025, this celebratory cruise will retrace some of the steps of the company’s inaugural sailing aboard the Princess Patricia back in December 1965.
A Star-Studded Celebration Featuring The Temptations
Adding an extra layer of excitement to this milestone voyage, the legendary Motown group The Temptations will join the celebration with an exclusive onboard performance. Known for timeless hits like “My Girl,” the group’s appearance coincides with the 60th anniversary of their chart-topping single, making the event a double celebration. Guests got a taste of the festivities during a live performance by The Temptations aboard the Discovery Princess, hinting at the extraordinary entertainment to come.
Jill Whelan, Princess Cruises Celebrations Ambassador and beloved for her role as “Vicki Stubing” on The Love Boat, will host the anniversary voyage. Her presence will undoubtedly add a touch of nostalgia for longtime fans of the cruise line and the TV series that cemented Princess Cruises in pop culture history.
A Journey Through the Mexican Riviera
The Diamond Anniversary Voyage will be a dream for travelers seeking both celebration and exploration. Aboard the Royal Princess, passengers will embark on a 14-day journey that includes overnight stays in Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta, as well as stops in Loreto, Manzanillo, and Mazatlán. This itinerary offers the perfect balance of festive activities and immersive travel experiences, showcasing the natural beauty and vibrant culture of the Mexican Riviera.
A Nod to the Past, A Vision for the Future
“This commemorative 60th Anniversary Cruise will not only pay tribute to our rich history but also bring together the joy of cruise travel, music, and unforgettable moments,” said Gus Antorcha, President of Princess Cruises. The announcement comes at an exciting time for the cruise line, which continues to innovate while honoring its legacy. With 16 ships sailing to breathtaking destinations worldwide and the debut of the all-new Star Princess in October 2025, the future looks bright for Princess Cruises.
More Surprises to Come
While the Diamond Anniversary Voyage promises to be an unforgettable highlight, Princess Cruises has hinted at additional anniversary-related activities and surprises in the coming months. From special onboard events to guest appearances, travelers can expect the celebration to extend far beyond a single voyage.
