Princess Cruises has reported “unprecedented demand” for Enchanted Princess’ new 2022 ex-UK season after the voyages went on sale this morning (March 23) at 8am.
The line’s new ship will sail round-trips from Southampton from May to September 2022.
It is offering 13 voyages ranging from four to 14 nights to destinations including the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, Scandinavia and Norway.
Tony Roberts, Princess Cruises UK and Europe vice-president, said: “Since the new voyages for Enchanted Princess went on sale this morning, demand has exceeded expectations.
“Trading in the first four hours has been even stronger than for our Seacations launch this time last year, which was one of our strongest trading days in history for the UK market.
“Our phone lines and agent chat has been full this morning and our travel agent partners are reporting a significant uptick in bookings, with many guests having registered interest before the new cruises went on sale.
“This illustrates that there is still a strong demand from guests for a cruise holiday from Southampton with Princess, and it’s fantastic to see that guests are excited as we are to have our new ship Enchanted Princess sailing from the UK this summer.”
All-inclusive balcony fares start from £499 for a five-night Belgium, Channel Islands & Netherlands cruise, departing on May 15.
