Princess Cruises’ ship Sky Princess made its UK debut today by docking in Southampton.
The vessel arrived in the port ahead of the line’s ‘summer seacations’ domestic cruise season, which starts with Regal Princess from July 31.
Sky Princess will join its sister ship to sail a series of UK cruises from August 30 for vaccinated passengers with ports of call including Portland, Liverpool, Belfast and Greenock.
The 3,660-passenger Sky Princess was launched in late 2019 and is one of the newest vessels in the Princess fleet.
UK and Europe vice president Tony Roberts said: “As our homeport ship for the next three years, today is a significant day for Princess Cruises. We are delighted to have one of our newest ships dedicated to the UK and we are certain guests will love everything she has to offer.
“Sky Princess encompasses innovative technology, spectacular style and unique design features. Guests can look forward to the MedallionClass experience, world-class dining, West-End style theatre shows, an overwater SeaWalk, expansive Piazza, and Sky Suites, featuring the largest balconies at sea.”
