The MS Mokupuni Princess, previously known as Shahai Princess or Princess of the Seas from her time with Royal Nanseisian International, and Galaxy Princess from her time with Galaxy Cruises, is a cruise ship owned and operated by Mokupuni Cruises. She is the lead ship of the Princess class of ships.
History
Shahai Princess was the second ship class in Shahai Cruises' (now Royal Nanseisian's) fleet. She had a theater, a buffet, a large casino, more than 20 rooms, as well as an Eat and Bowl. She weighed 6,982 GT, making her the new largest cruise ship in the world. She was ordered by Shahai Cruises in 1970, along with her sister, Shahai Duchess. She was highly anticipated by fans of previous ships, and she entered service in 1972. She started out by cruising in the Bahia area, where she was immensely popular. In the winters, she returned for cruising around Nansei-Gunto, skipping Wenyanga from 1977 to 1997. Like her smaller cousins, Princess was much loved by old and new cruisers alike, and introducing new amenities and innovations to the scene only made her more popular. In 1986, with the rebranding of Shahai Cruises to Royal Nanseisian, she changed her name to Princess of the Seas, and continued operating, having replaced Shahai Empress when she was sold off in 1980.
She was sold off in 1998 to Galaxy Cruises as Galaxy Princess, before being sold again in 2013 as Mokupuni Princess to Mokupuni Cruises. She still operates today through the Mokupuni Islands.
