Princess Cruises names new Royal-class ship

Princess Cruises has revealed its sixth Royal-class ship will be called Discovery Princess.

The 3,660-passenger vessel is to launch on November 3, 2021, and its maiden season will be available to book from Tuesday (October 8).

Discovery Princess’ inaugural voyage is a seven-day Mediterranean and Aegean cruise from Rome to Athens. Prices start from £1,389.

After a short season in the Mediterranean with departures from Barcelona, Rome and Athens, the vessel will head to Fort Lauderdale for a series of round-trip cruises in the Caribbean.

Discovery Princess will be the sister ship to Royal Princess, Regal Princess, Majestic Princess, Sky Princess, due to launch later this month; and the yet-to-launch Enchanted Princess.
