Princess Cruises unveiled this week its 2013 Europe and Alaska cruises which features the debut of its new Royal Princess in the Mediterranean and the first- ever season for the Grand Princess in Alaska.
In Europe, Princess will feature its youngest fleet ever, with
seven ships plying the waters of the Mediterranean, Baltic and Northern Europe. The line’s newest ship, Royal Princess will sail the popular Grand Mediterranean route, whilst passengers have the choice of a variety of other Europe cruise options across the Princess Cruises fleet in the British Isles, Holy Land, Black Sea and Scandinavia and Russia.
In Alaska, the seven-ship Princess fleet will feature the recently refurbished Grand Princess, with sailings from San Francisco. The Princess fleet will offer more balcony staterooms in Alaska than any other cruise line cruising to areas such as the Glacier Bay with a choice of more than 20 Princess cruisetour options , all featuring the number one attraction the Denali National Park .
The line has also unveiled more details on some of the main dining spaces that will be available on Royal Princess when she debuts in June 2013. Among the new options is Chef’s Table Lumiere surrounded by a curtain of light to take the dining experience to a new level. The ship will offer a large Horizon Court buffet with a brand new layout, new action stations, new bistro options such as a crab shack and fondue restaurant and a dedicated pastry shop , an industry first .
For the evening dining experience , several restaurants and bars have been located together, including the Crown Grill which has been combined with the Wheelhouse Bar, and Sabatini’s Italian restaurant which is now adjacent to the Vines wine bar .
“These evolutions of our dining program will offer some exciting new options, as well as showcase our signature features which have become passenger favourites. Royal Princess certainly will take our dining options to the next level” said Paul Ludlow, Princess Cruise UK director.
