SANTA CLARITA, Calif., Dec. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Princess Cruises has earned top honors for the second consecutive year for its worldwide cruise itineraries in Cruise Critic's 7^th Annual Editors' Picks Awards. Hand-picked by Cruise Critic's editorial staff, the award particularly cites Princess' Alaska cruises and other notable destinations around the globe that inspire guests to cruise with Princess.

"Offering our guests enriching cruise vacation experiences where they can discover new places and learn about other cultures around the world has long been a Princess hallmark, so it's wonderful to have our itineraries recognized by experts in the field," said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises president.

Cruise Critic editors said, "In addition to its battery of standard Caribbean, Canada/New England and Europe sailings, Princess is known for offering standout Alaska voyages. Throw in bucket-list destinations like the Panama Canal, Australia/New Zealand and Tahiti, as well as world cruises that last more than 100 days, and you'll understand why Princess takes 2014's top honors for itineraries."

Cruise Critic's UK editors also voted the line "Best for Romance," citing the line's intimate balcony dining, popping the question with a proposal video using the Movies Under the Stars outdoor movie screen and the new online honeymoon registry as a great way for couples to make their cruise vacation filled with romance.

Princess Cruises sails to six continents, offering voyages ranging from three to 111 days, to more than 300 cruise destinations.
