Ahead of the Enchanted Princess's maiden voyage, which departed on November 10, Princess Cruises offered a first look at the newest ship to join the fleet. The presentation showcased beautifully designed interiors, elegantly appointed accommodations, gourmet restaurants, handcrafted cocktails, and expansive views from the cruise line's largest balconies—the renowned Sky Suites. The christening ceremony will be streamed globally on Monday, December 13, on Princess Cruises' Facebook page, YouTube channel, and website. The 145,000-ton, 3,660-passenger Enchanted Princess represents an evolution of the design platform consistent with its sister ships: the Royal Princess (2013), Regal Princess (2014), Majestic Princess (2017), and Sky Princess (2019), offering a heightened level of style and elegance that distinguishes the cruise line.
Beginning November 10, the Enchanted Princess' inaugural cruise season features fifteen 10-night Caribbean itineraries sailing from and to Fort Lauderdale. The Enchanted Princess will then head to Europe in April 2022 for a series of Baltic cruises departing from and arriving in Copenhagen. “The introduction of our newest ship, the Enchanted Princess, is a significant milestone for Princess, and we look forward to the first guests experiencing all that this magnificent ship has to offer,” said John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises. “The Enchanted Princess is our seventh ship to enter service since the global pause, signifying our successful move forward, with many loyal passengers and new customers ready to sail with us and our crews ready to deliver memorable vacations at the best value.” Tony Roberts, Vice President of Princess Cruises Europe, said, “With just one more day until the Enchanted Princess’s inaugural season begins, the reopening of U.S. borders to fully vaccinated European travelers means European guests can be among the first to experience our newest ship in the fleet, while enjoying some winter sunshine in the Caribbean. Those who prefer to stay closer to home can also look forward to sailing this beautiful ship in the Baltic starting next spring.” The Enchanted Princess offers the ultimate in personalized, effortless cruising with the world-class dining and entertainment Princess Cruises is known for, all elevated by the Princess MedallionClass experience. As with every ship in the Princess fleet, it starts with the Medallion™, a wearable device about the size of a two-euro coin that enables everything from contactless expedited boarding to locating friends and family anywhere on the ship, as well as enhanced service, such as having guests’ needs delivered directly to them, wherever they are on board.
