CRUISES' FLOAT: known for its starring role in one of television's most iconic shows, The
Love Boat. Their float in the Rose Parade celebrates Princess' 50th
anniversary, and pays tribute to the light-hearted TV show which played
such an integral role in the company's early history.


The original cast of "The Love Boat" has been reunited to ride on the
float, which comes on the heels of this beloved group christening
Princess' newest ship Regal Princess to kick off the company's golden
anniversary year.


Named "50 Years of Inspiring Travel," the float depicts Regal Princess
symbolically sailing through the world's most fascinating destinations
and iconic landmarks that guests have experienced with Princess over the
past 50 years. Viewers will recognize the Sydney Opera House, the leaning
tower of Pisa, a traditional Japanese pagoda, the Golden Gate Bridge, the
tropical flowers and water falls of the Caribbean, Hawaii and Mexico, as
well as the majestic mountains and wildlife of Alaska - just some of the
sights travelers will see when sailing with Princess, whose ships visit
350 destinations around the globe.


The float is 60 feet long and 24 feet high with more than 24,000 flowers
and natural materials. Flowers include roses, orchids and carnations,
dendrobs, tulips, cymbidiums, delphiniums, gerbera daisies. Regal
Princess will be covered in large white navy beans, white mums and button
mums. The water will be accented by dark blue and white iris. Potatoes,
green grapes and seaweed will also be used on parts of the float.
