Photo Album:

This album presents images from a brochure, which is part of the author’s private maritime collection and it reveals the Princess Patricia’s interiors, as well as her decks, etc, which had not changed since her refit into a cruise ship back in 1963. The only new addition was the installation of air-conditioning and a swimming pool which was added for what became the Princess Cruises charter in 1965.
