| Princess smashes the record

ROYAL Princess has made the history books
already, with Princess Cruises’ Australia and NZ
office reporting its biggest booking day ever
(16 Mar) for a new vessel’s inaugural season,
with the debut of Royal Princess’ first program
which kicks-off in Jun next year.
The office had further reason to celebrate,
following the results of its recent launch of
Princess’ Europe and Alaska programs, which
attracted an unprecedented trade response,
with Select Sailing registrations across the
programs up by more than 70% year on year.
“The volume of bookings we received is
testament to the huge support of the travel
agent community, our loyal past passengers,
and those first-time Princess cruisers excited to
experience Royal Princess,” said Princess Cruises
commercial director in Australia, Stanley Birge.
