| Princess joins British cruise restart

PRINCESS Cruises has revealed details of its United Kingdom-based Summer Seacations, as the line joins the long list of operators planning a British restart.

The cruise line’s series of short breaks and week-long itineraries will take place aboard Regal Princess (pictured) and Sky Princess, and are scheduled to sail from Southampton.

Summer Seacations will go on sale 24 Mar, with Regal to offer a total of 14 voyages from 31 Jul to 23 Sep, and Sky to sail eight in between 30 Aug and 28 Sep.

Both ships will offer scenic cruises, as well as voyages with stops in British ports, such as Liverpool and Belfast and Greenock, with itineraries ranging from three to seven nights.

The SummerSeacationswill feature many of the signature onboard experiences enjoyed on a Princess holiday, including a variety of entertainment, such as shows in the Princess Theatre, Movies Under the Stars, and celebrity guest speakers.

Guests will also be able to enjoy “Truly Touchless” experiences through Princess’ OceanMedallion wearable device, which replaces traditional cruise cards to expand touch-free options and personalisation.

“Theseresort-style seacationsoffer the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy some time off,” said Princess VP Europe Tony Roberts.

“We believe that these cruises will appeal to both our loyal guests who are eager to get back onboard our beautifulMedallionClassships and holidaymakers looking to experience Princess for the first time.”
