http://208.122.3.214/tm/admin/uploaded/movies-under-the-star-new.gifPrincess Cruises will sail its biggest ever fleet in Europe in 2009.

The line will sail its three newest superliners and will increase capacity for the UK market with Grand Princess sailing Mediterranean cruises from Southampton.

The 2,600-passenger Grand Princess will replace the smaller Sea Princess on Southampton departures to the Mediterranean, increasing capacity by over 40%.

The ship, which has over 670 balcony cabins, will sail eight 14-night Mediterranean cruises and three 7-night cruises to Iberia and Scandinavia.

The 3,110-passenger Crown Princess, will also be sailing regularly from Southampton in 2009 with itineraries around the British Isles and to Iceland and the Norwegian Fjords.

http://208.122.3.214/tm/admin/uploaded/emerald_sunset1.gifPrincess’s newest superliner, Ruby Princess, which will join the fleet in November of this year, will sail its first summer season offering 12-night fly-cruises in the Mediterranean, combining with direct flights from London and Manchester.

The third superliner, the 2007-launched Emerald Princess, will be the biggest ship based in the Baltic Sea, offering 13 10-night cruises from Copenhagen.

Princess will also position two small, intimate vessels in Europe in 2009.

The 670-passenger Royal Princess will return in 2009 with 12-night fly-cruises in the Mediterranean and sister ship Tahitian Princess will come to Europe for the first time to sail a range of cruises in Northern Europe, including sailings from Dover to Greenland.

Princess Cruises’ Mediterranean and Scandinavia 2009 programme will go on sale in April.

This is great news. There seems to be a lot of interest from the cruise lines to offer cruises from the u.k.

This only means things get better for the consumer with more choice and destinations available. I would also expect some aggressive marketing and discounts to win business over their competitors again making cruising more affordable.

Looking forward to 2009 on the high sea's
