The 3,082-passenger ship arrives in Sydney on her maiden voyage Down Under on November 15, 2016, and will operate itineraries to New Zealand and the South Pacific until April 2017.
Â
She joins Diamond Princess as a seasonal addition to the fleet, with Dawn Princess, Sea Princess and Sun Princess continuing their year-round operations from Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle.
Â
Princess Cruises vp Australasia Stuart Allison said Australia ranks as the company’s biggest market outside of the United States.
Â
The market has grown steadily since Star Princess was based in Australia for the 2003/04 season.
Â
‘With three ships cruising our waters full time and two visiting megaliners, the 2016/17 season will offer more exciting options for Australian and New Zealand passengers,’ Allison said.
Â
He said all ships will have Australian dollar pricing on board and that full details for the 2016/17 season will be released in March. The new programme goes on sale in April.
