SINGAPORE, 25 April 2018 – Princess Cruises will deploy three ships to Taiwan for the first time this year.
Majestic Princess, Sun Princess and Diamond Princess will offer more than 50 sailings, that could potentially carry 140,000 domestic guests and 14,000 Fly-Cruise international tourists.
Majestic Princess, the newest ship in the Princess Cruises fleet, will account for half of this season’s voyages focusing on visits to Japan.
Majestic Princess has commenced her inaugural homeporting in Keelung, Taipei and will sail round-trip from Taiwan to Japan through to July, visiting ports in Japan such as Okinawa, Ishigaki, Hiroshima, Osaka, Nagasaki, Kagoshima and Kochi on three to seven night itineraries.
The key highlights are the spring and summer flower festival cruises. The 143,000-ton Majestic Princess with a capacity of 3,560 guests is expected to attract over 8,000 visitors to the Port of Keelung in a single day.
“The Fly-Cruise packages appeal to guests from Southeast Asia as they do not have to fly too far to experience a Royal-class ship such as Majestic Princess,” said Princess Cruises director Southeast Asia, Farriek Tawfik.
Sun Princess’ itineraries are also popular due to the short duration of three to four days. Sun Princess will complete her dry dock in July in Singapore and will sail to Keelung for her homeporting season for the summer from July to September.
Diamond Princess will offer departures from Taiwan for cruises around Japan in a series of fall foliage itineraries to Japan’s major cities – Tokyo (Yokohama), Osaka, Nagoya and Okinawa.
