In the UK, nearly 500 nights cruising from Southampton will be available across three ships – Grand Princess, Island Princess and Crown Princess.

Princess has already confirmed that the 2,600-guest Grand Princess will sail the longest ever period for a UK-based ship, from April to November, in the Mediterranean, northern Europe and Canada & New England.

In addition, the 2,200-guest Island Princess will spend June to October sailing across northern Europe, while the 3,080-guest Crown Princess will sail round Britain from April to October.

Princess Cruises’ three newest ships – the 3,660-guest Sky Princess, Enchanted Princess and Discovery Princess – will be based in northern and southern Europe respectively on a series of cruises departing from Copenhagen, Barcelona, Rome and Athens.

Tony Roberts, Princess Cruise vice president UK & Europe, said: "Europe remains the most popular destination for UK guests and we are thrilled that the longest season in our history has just been enhanced with a wider variety of destinations on more ships than ever before.

All voyages are now on sale.
