Princess to Add Fourth Ship in Australia Expansion

 
Princess Cruises will move the Sea Princess to Australia for the 2011-12 cruise season, increasing the size of its fleet there to an unprecedented four ships.

Sailing from Sydney between October 2011 and March 2012, the 77,000-ton Sea Princess will offer cruises to New Zealand, Japan and Tasmania. It will join Dawn Princess, Sun Princess and Sapphire Princess in sailing 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 ship to be based in the Queensland capital. Sun Princess’ cruises from Brisbane will include seven two-week sojourns 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. Meanwhile, Dawn Princess will return to Melbourne for another summer season, offering cruises to New Zealand, around Australia and to Tahiti and Hawaii.

Announcing the expansion in Australia, Princess President Alan Buckelew said Australian interest was at an all-time high. “Since Princess Cruises based its first superliner, Sun Princess, in Australian waters full-time in late 2007, it’s been clear that Australians love the cruise line’s relaxed style of cruising as well as the exotic destinations that it offers,” he said.
