Coming down the home stretch on it’s year-long blogging experiment 50 Essential Experiences: The Travel Bucket List, Princess Cruises today revealed Vancouver as Essential Experience #44 leaving only six more experiences yet to be revealed.
“Little did I realize then how much the city would capture such a special part of my life and eventually become part of me, particularly because it’s the hometown of my wife, Dawn” writes Director of Hotel Operations David Price as he recounts the many ways that Vancouver has touched his life.
These and other stories can be found online at www.50EssentialExperiences.com, where a new experience is unveiled weekly. Each is authored by a Princess destination expert – a long-serving and well-traveled shipboard or shoreside employee.
The 50th Essential Experience will be revealed on October 4, completing the year-long list of travel bucket list stories.
