As part of the announcement, Princess revealed that The

the milestone cruise and celebrating the 60th
anniversary of the release of "My Girl," making it a double
milestone event.
The exciting announcement was delivered by Princess Cruises

Stubing" in the beloved TV series "The Love
Boat." Whelan, who has been a cherished part of Princess
Cruises' legacy, will also serve as the host for the 60th
Anniversary Cruise, adding even more nostalgia to this
once-in-a-lifetime experience. Additional information revealing

"As we prepare to celebrate our
60th anniversary, we can't help but look back at
where it all began with one ship sailing to Mexico," said Gus
Antorcha, president of Princess Cruises. "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. The
Temptations' performance today gives just a glimpse of the
excitement and memorable experiences we have in store for this
milestone."
The 14-day 60th Anniversary Mexican Riviera Voyage
aboard the Royal Princess sails from Los
Angeles on December 6 and
