PRINCESS Cruises has announced the deployment of Royal Princess to Alaska on her maiden voyage in 2019, marking 50 years of Alaskan cruises by the line.
The 141,000 ton ship will be the largest Princess vessel to sail Alaskan waters and will arrive at a time when the number of Australians cruising in the region is up 25%.
“Last year a record number of Australians cruised to Alaska and Princess was the number one cruise line,” said Princess Cruises vice president Australia & New Zealand Stuart Allison.
“Royal Princess’ deployment marks an even greater capacity, and this reflects the high interest in fly-cruise to Alaska from Australian and New Zealand guests.”
MEANWHILE, Sea Princess arrived in Brisbane on Sun following a 16-day refurbishment in Singapore.
The latest ship in the Princess fleet to be based in Brisbane, Sea Princess will make 12 roundtrip cruises to NZ and Qld over the 2017/18 summer.
Princess has also announced its fourth Royal-class ship will be named Sky Princess.
