Princess Cruises has confirmed that the delivery of the “Enchanted Princess” has been delayed because the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy, remains closed.
A new delivery date has not been determined. All voyages scheduled from the inauguration date until July 31 have been canceled. The shipyard closure is due to the state of emergency declared by the Italian government in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The christening ceremony scheduled for June 30, 2020, in Southampton has been cancelled. The inaugural activities and itineraries are being reviewed.
This 3,660-passenger ship, a sister ship to the Regal Princess, Royal Princess, Majestic Princess and Sky Princess, was originally scheduled to debut on June 19 in Rome (Civitavecchia) on a nine-day Mediterranean cruise.
