| The Sun is rising

WITH the debut of Princess Cruises’ new Sun Princess now just a year away (CW 07 Feb), the ship’s inaugural team of mariners has been named, including Captains Craig Street and Paolo Arrigo.

The duo of skippers will be led by Staff Captains Brian Whelan and Valerio Esposito; Hotel General Managers Ralph D’Souza and Simona Stumberger; and Chief Engineers Gaetano Guida and Davor Pavlovic-Kalifo.

Several members of the group already are spending time in the Fincantieri Shipyard in Monfalcone, and over the course of several months, they will be joined by nearly 1,600 colleagues, who will serve as the inaugural Sun crew.
