SINGAPORE, 22 August 2018: As Princess Cruises’ fleet expansion continues, the cruise line names its newest ship Enchanted Princess ahead of its launch in 2020.
Enchanted Princess is scheduled to debut 15 June, 2020, sailing on a series of European voyages. Bookings for her maiden season, Summer 2020, will open 8 November.
The arrival of Enchanted Princess will be followed by the debut of the sixth Royal-Class vessel for Princess Cruises in 2021.
The cruise line also has two new Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) powered ships on order, bringing its new ship order to five ships in six years.
Construction of the 143,700-ton, 3,660-passenger Enchanted Princess will take place in the Fincantieri Monfalcone shipyard with the ship set to feature an evolution of the design platform used for the cruise line’s previous Royal-Class ships.
Princess Cruises currently operates a fleet of 17 cruise ships, sailing voyages around the globe. Enchanted Princess is a sister ship to four other Royal-Class ships in the cruise line’s fleet – Royal Princess, Regal Princess, Majestic Princess and Sky Princess (joining the fleet in October 2019).
