Princess Cruises: back to Egypt
Princess Cruises is returning to Egyptian ports after the stops were removed last February.
Princess modified itineraries for 18 sailings scheduled to call in Egypt through November. The cruises aboard Star Princess, Dawn Princess, Ocean Princess and Pacific Princess have now returned to their originally published itineraries.
“The situation in Egypt has calmed considerably since wide-spread protests earlier this year, and the tourist areas aren’t currently being affected,” said Jan Swartz, Princess’ executive vice president. “So we’re pleased to tell passengers they can once again plan to experience this country’s iconic pyramids and other ancient wonders.”
The Egyptian ports of Alexandria and Port Said are part of the two-day Egypt experience included on the line’s 12-day Holy Land sailings. Sailings depart from May 7 through Nov. 15.
Passengers currently booked on Holy Land sailings are being contacted with the revised itinerary information. Princess says it will continue to monitor the situation in Egypt and consult with various authorities to obtain the latest information and advice.
