From the expansion department:

Princess Cruises announced today that when Dawn Princess goes to Australia in the fall of 2008, it would not be returning to North America as originally scheduled. It will remain in Australia indefinitely to continue the line's expansion there. Earlier this year, Princess announced a major expansion "down under" when they said Sun Princess would remain there to service the locally-sourced market with a product tailored for the Australian market. Like Sun Princess, Dawn Princess will still be available for sale worldwide. Together Sun and Dawn Princess in their new market will offer some interesting itinerary choices not available before for customers in North America, including a lengthy season on Australia's west coast.
