Another Princess for Australia
SYDNEY – Princess Cruises superliner Sea Princess will be based in Australia over the 2011-12 cruise season, taking the size of the locally based Princess fleet to an unprecedented four ships.
Sailing from Sydney from October 2011 until March 2012, the 77,000-tonne Sea Princess will offer cruises to New Zealand, Japan and Tasmania.
She will join Dawn Princess, Sun Princess and Sapphire Princess in cruising Australian waters.
Sea Princess’ move to Sydney means that the Sun Princess will head north to Brisbane from September 2011 until February 2012, becoming the first Princess Cruises’ ship to be based in the Queensland capital.
Sun Princess’ cruises from Brisbane will include seven two-week trips to New Zealand, two 11-night South Pacific cruises to Fiji and a new 41-night voyage to Asia, featuring visits to Brunei, Vietnam, Japan and China, including Beijing.
Dawn Princess will return to Melbourne for another summer season, offering cruises to New Zealand, around Australia and to Tahiti and Hawaii.
A sister ship to Dawn Princess and Sun Princess, Sea Princess first debuted in the Princess fleet in 1998.
She carries 1950 passengers and offers 975 staterooms, including more than 400 with private balconies.
