PRINCESS CRUISES HAS ANNOUNCED IT WILL
reinstate calls to Egyptian ports on all
itineraries where they were previously removed.
The cruise line withdrew from Egyptian
ports earlier in the year, following the
outbreak of political and civil unrest.
As such, Princess modified itineraries for
18 sailings scheduled to call into Egypt
through to November this year.
This decision has since been reversed,
with the first scheduled Egyptian call now
planned to take place on 15 May.
“The situation in Egypt has calmed
considerably since wide-spread protests
earlier this year, and the tourist areas aren’t
currently being affected,” said Jan Swartz,
Princess Cruises executive vice president.
