Princess sextet in Europe

摘要

Six princess cruise ships will sail in Europe during 2009, with two making their debuts in the region. The 670-passenger Tahitian Princess (l999/30,277gt), which has sailed virtually exclusively in the South Pacific since being acquired in 2002, repositions to this side of the world after a 107-day world cruise departing from Port Everglades on 14 January. She will transit the Panama Canal, sail across the Pacific to Australasia, the Far East and Dubai, and through the Suez Canal to Mediterranean ports and end up at Dover on 2 May. She then undertakes a number of sailings in Northern Europe. To reflect her global itineraries, Tahitian Princess will be renamed Ocean Princess during a scheduled drydocking at Singapore in November 2009.
