Princess Cruise’s newest ship, the Royal Princess, will begin sailing from Southampton in May 2015.
Announced today by Princess Cruises, the new ship will sail from Southampton to ports throughout the Baltic Sea and on “around the UK sailings.” Full itineraries, sail dates, and prices will be announced in the coming months.
The Royal Princess, in a sense, will be returning to her home, following her christening by Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, in the port earlier this year.
Royal Princess will be joined in Southampton by one of her smaller fleet mates, the Caribbean Princess, which will be returning to the United Kingdom for another season of British Isles sailings.
