Princess expands Europe

PRINCESS Cruises has firmed up its commitment to Europe by announcing its biggest season on record to service the continent in 2020.

The season will see three of Princess Cruises’ newest ships, Enchanted, Sky and Regal, based in the region, unlocking the company’s ability to launch a series of new itineraries.

Senior Vice President Princess Cruises Asia Pacific Stuart Allison believes the expanded capacity and range of product in Europe will attract an even greater number of Australian cruisers.

“Europe is our top long-haul flycruise destination for Australian guests,” Allison said.

“Australians love discovering Europe by sea, with the continent offering a rich mix of history and culture that appeals to our guests,” he added.

New voyages added to the 2020 season include the eight-day Norwegian Fjords sailing aboard Crown Princess, visiting Bergen, Aalesund and Stavanger, as well as a 17-day Mediterranean voyage to Lisbon.

The latest European launch will also see the debut of its fifth Royal-class ship Enchanted Princess in Jun 2020, which will service a number of Mediterranean voyages.

Prices for a 14-night Western Mediterranean & Aegean Medley cruise from Barcelona to Athens on board Enchanted lead in at $4,219ppts departing 25 Jul 2020.
