PRINCESS Cruises’ second Sphere-class ship Star Princess set sail on her maiden voyage from Barcelona over the weekend.
The ship’s first guests have been welcomed to enjoy her new entertainment, elevated dining, and more, on an 11-day western Mediterranean voyage, visiting Marseille, Rome, Naples, Sicily, Cartagena, and Gibraltar.
Star is the 17th ship in the Princess fleet, and carries 4,300 guests, who can enjoy 30 distinct onbaord dining and bar venues.
The vessel will conclude her inaugural program next month, before sailing a transatlantic voyage to her new home port of Fort Lauderdale, from where she will embark on her first Caribbean season, highlighted by her official naming ceremony on 06 Nov.
She will then sail through the Panama Canal to Seattle for a debut season of seven-day Alaska cruises next summer, as the newest ship in the region.
“Star Princess shines brightly as one the largest and most spectacular ships we’ve ever built, and we proudly welcome excited guests on her inaugural voyage,” the cruise line’s President Gus Antorcha said.
“We wish our Star Princess captain, senior officers, and crew much success – may her voyages be safe, her sunsets unforgettable, and may she shine, as her name promises, in the sky and on the seas.” MS
