PRINCESS Cruises’ Sun Princess recently marked a momentous construction milestone, with the float out of the ship at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone.
Hotel General Manager Simona Stumberger was honoured as the Madrina of Sun, to offer blessings and best wishes for the vessel.
“Simona is the ideal candidate to serve as Madrina of our newest ship, Sun Princess, because she embodies all the best qualities that our company has to offer – an unwavering commitment to service, hospitality and friendliness,” Princess President John Padgett said.
The float out completes the first comprehensive phase of construction for Sun, with the focus to now shift to building the ship’s interiors.
Princess also announced it has appointed Gennaro Arma as Captain, leading Sun’s shipbuilding operations, readiness, and delivery, and overseeing the ship’s final stages of construction.
He will work closely with naval architects, engineers, and shipbuilding experts, as well as the shipyard management team.
“Sun Princess will usher in an exciting new era for our company and the industry, and we can’t think of a better person to serve in this important role,” Padgett added.
Sun will offer an array of exciting new dining, entertainment and activity offerings, as well as luxurious staterooms across a broad spectrum of categories.
The ship will be highlighted by never-before-seen spaces, such as The Dome – a entertainment venue inspired by the terraces of Santorini.
