Carnival Australia has announced further changes to its fleet to meet growing demand.
Princess Cruises’ Dawn Princess, which is based in Australia, will transfer to the P&O Cruises Australia fleet in May 2017.
The 2,000-passenger Dawn Princess will then become the largest ship in the P&O fleet.
P&O Cruises senior vice president Sture Myrmell said the Dawn Princess will be refitted and renamed before entering service with P&O.
This ship is a great addition to P&O Cruises’ fleet, with her larger size opening up opportunities for new onboard product and experiences," Myrmell said.
Dawn Princess will become the sixth ship in the Australian fleet after two more ships, the Ryndam and Statendam join from Holland America Line next month.
Meanwhile the 2,600 guest Golden Princess will stay in Australia year round until the end of 2017.
"One of Golden Princess’ key sailings for the year will be a 75-night Circle Pacific itinerary taking holidaymakers on a roundtrip cruise from Australia to Asia, Alaska and America," said Stuart Allison, Princess Cruises vice president Australia & New Zealand said.
"This will be the first time we’ve offered a world cruise from Australia on a Grand-class Princess ship so we think it will be a winner."
