Princess Cruises to offer wonders of Egypt
Princess Cruises to double World Cruise offerings in 2009. Both Tahitian Princess and Royal Princess to sail on global voyages to six continents with Egypt being their port of call in Africa.
For the first time, Princess will offer world cruising on two sister ships, with both voyages commencing at nearly the same time. The 670-passenger Tahitian Princess and 710-passenger Royal Princess will offer similar 107-day itineraries that set sail from Ft. Lauderdale in January 2009.
The Tahitian Princess sailing leaves on January 14, ending in Dover, while Royal Princess sails on January 20 and winds up in Rome. In addition, passengers can choose from two extension options for the Tahitian Princess voyage, giving travelers the option of finishing their voyage in Dover, Rome, Stockholm or New York.
Both itineraries include travel to South America, the South Pacific, Australia, Asia, India and Egypt, with differing European segments.
A new port for Princess, Port Blair in the Andaman Islands, makes its debut as the ships cruise the Indian Ocean on the way to Mumbai, India. They then head for Dubai and Salalah in Oman, followed by the wonders of Egypt with calls in Safaga (for Luxor/Karnak) and Port Said (for Cairo/Giza).
Early booking fares for Princess’ world cruises begin at $21,495 per person, based on double occupancy.
