Princess Cruises is no stranger to blogging

On the heels of the line’s two popular yearlong blogs that captured the attention of millions of readers –“50 Essential Experiences” and “Inspired to Cruise,” – this new blog, found at LinkedbytheSea.com, will chronicle a new story each week throughout 2013.

“A cruise often includes the discovery of new friends or rekindled relationships that lead to meaningful or lifelong bonds,” said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises executive vice president. “We frequently hear amazing stories from our passengers and crew about people they connect with at sea. These moving tales provided the perfect theme for our third blog and we know they will touch readers.”
