Princess Honors Copenhagen - 2009 Port of the Year

The Scandinavian port of Copenhagen receives HIGHEST SATISFACTION marks from passengers onboard Princess Cruises.

Princess Cruises has named Copenhagen as it's "Port of the Year" for 2009 - a distinction awarded as the result of passenger satisfaction surveys. Copenhagen is the first port outside of North America to earn this honor.

The annual award is given to one of Princess' 33 worldwide turnaround ports that earn the highest scores for the year, as rated by passengers on each cruise. A turnaround port is where a cruise ends and the next one begins.

The honor recognizes that a port has provided the service, facilities and personnel that have enhanced the passenger experience while boarding or disembarking the ship. In total, the voting measured passenger satisfaction scores for 14 calls in Copenhagen during the summer 2009 season.

This is the fifth year for this award, and previous Port of the Year designations have gone to Los Angeles, Whittier, Vancouver and Brooklyn.

Copenhagen serves as home port for Princess Scandinavia & Russia itineraries. Star Princess will begin the 2010 cruise season on these popular itineraries on May 12.
