Pacific Princess, of Princess Cruises, was built in 1971 in West Germany. It operated cruises between the United States and Bermuda and was famous for appearing in the romantic sitcom The Love Boat. It visited Madeira for the first time on May 4 1985 while on route from San Juan of Porto Rico to Lisbon. Funchal was the first European port which Princess had anchored in.
Pacific was retired from service when renovation work proved more expensive than had been anticipated and was sold to a company specializing in ship breaking in 2012. After the sale fell through, it remained laid up in Genoa for an extended period before being towed to Aliaga where it arrived in August 2013 for dismantlement.
