Princess Cruises announced a first-ever, week-long magical experience aboard Discovery Princess to depart October 7, 2023. 

The “Magic Castle Conjurer’s Cruise” will partner two California icons—Princess Cruises and Hollywood’s world famous Magic Castle. Magic Castle has been known for 60 years as the “mecca of magic and the legendary home to the Academy of Magical Arts.”

Princess Cruises and Magic Castle will work together to bring the Magic Castle mission to the high seas. This seven day roundtrip magic themed cruise departs from Los Angeles on October 7, 2023, will feature day-long ports of call in San Francisco, San Diego, and Ensenada, Mexico, before returning to Los Angeles on October 14, 2023. 

“Magic Castle Conjurer’s Cruise” will feature unique magic-themed events and activities. Guests will be treated to performances by top magicians in the Princess Theater and in popular areas such as the Piazza throughout the ship. Guests will also be able to sit in on lectures and magic workshops. 

There will be a “Taste of Magic” which is a fun event which offers magical cocktails and a “Magic of Cooking” demonstration for foodies. Included in that will be Magic Castle themed cocktail parties, dinners and brunches to enjoy. Guests can finish out their day with a magic-themed film poolside at the ship’s outdoor Movies Under the Stars. 

The founding family of The Magic Castle will be onboard with a specially curated historical presentation. Attendees will hear firsthand how the Magic Castle was established and why it is still so popular today. Additionally, the ship will have  some of the artifacts from Magic Castle’s collection on display. 

“With this inaugural “Magic Castle Conjurer’s Cruise,” for the first time, Magic Castle Enterprises will offer elements of the Magic Castle experience outside the walls of our members-only establishment,” said Erika Larsen, president of Magic Castle Enterprises. 

“The cruise will be a true celebration of the magical arts, connecting magicians from our acclaimed community with enthusiasts who are fascinated by this mysterious world. We look forward to sharing the magic as we sail upon the stunning Discovery Princess, making our way along our gorgeous, and native, California coast.”

Along with this amazing opportunity to enjoy all this magic themed cruise has to offer, guests will also be treated to all the magical amenities the newest ship of the Princess Cruises fleet, Discovery Princess has to offer.
