Without a lot of fanfare, Princess Cruises recently added a feature to its website that has gone largely unnoticed: Virtual Tours of its ships.
Nestled on each individual ship's profile page, in the Amenities & Public Rooms page, are links to fantastic VR tours of the major public rooms of each vessel. Most lines have had this sort of set up for several years now; a quick visit to Carnival, Celebrity, Cunard, Holland America, and Royal Caribbean will let you view panoramic images of each of the public rooms and staterooms onboard.
It's nice to see Princess is following suit, though not all ships have tours at this point; the Grand Princess is notably lacking any VR tours.

Also on the technological move this week is Norwegian Cruise Line, which also recently added VR tours to some ships. Again, like Princess, it appears as if this is a work in progress: Norwegian Jade, Norwegian Spirit, and Pride of America are lacking VR tours at the moment, but the rest are all up.
Don't expect to see VR tours for Norwegian Majesty anytime soon; following her October 24, 2009 voyage to Bermuda from Philadelphia, the Majesty - currently the oldest ship in the NCL fleet - will be transfered over to Louis Cruise Lines to become the Louis Majesty, where she will operate cruises from Italy starting in December.
