The line has seven ships in Europe this season, but in 2012 the European debut of Caribbean Princess accounts for the additional capacity in the region.
Other highlights include a new 14-day ‘Baltic Heritage’ itinerary offering more time to explore the ports of Scandinavia and Russia. Sailing round-trip from Southampton, Grand Princess visits Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Tallinn, Gdansk and Oslo.
In addition, Princess continues to give extra time in ports, with two-day experiences in Istanbul, St. Petersburg, Egypt and Israel. There are also overnights in Venice on all 12-day Mediterranean and Greek Isles cruises.
Two new ports will debut—the island of Korcula, Croatia, and Nessebar, Bulgaria, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Ruby Princess returns to again offer the line’s signature 12-day ‘Grand Mediterranean’ itinerary and Greek Isles routes. Crown Princess also cruises the Mediterranean, taking over the 12-day Egypt, Greek Isles and Mediterranean itineraries.
Emerald Princess again offers Scandinavia and Russia including Princess’ two-day experience in St. Petersburg. Caribbean Princess takes over British Isles sailings, as well as voyages to Norway and Iceland. Grand Princess sails from London to the Mediterranean, as well as on Northern Europe voyages.
The intimate Ocean Princess offers a variety of seven-day ‘Interlude’ itineraries that can be combined into 14-day or longer voyages, giving passengers the opportunity to explore boutique ports.
Small ship Pacific Princess sails to the Holy Land and Black Sea, and offers experiences in classic destinations such as Egypt, Israel, Ukraine, Greece and Turkey.
