Princess Cruises revealed this morning that their next ship will be named Enchanted Princess. The 143,700-ton ship will be an evolution of the Royal-class ships and will be built at Fincantieri's Monfalcone yard for delivery in the early summer of 2020.
“The name Enchanted Princess is captivating and conveys the elegance and grace of our new ship which will introduce more travelers to the pleasures and value of cruising,” said Princess president Jan Swartz. “We are certain Enchanted Princess will exceed the expectations of our guests, ensuring they have the most memorable cruise vacation.”
Enchanted Princess will debut in Europe on June 15, 2020. The summer 2020 season will open for sale on November 8 (2018).
After Enchanted Princess, the next Royal-class ship (the sixth in the series) will debut in 2022. Princess also has two LNG-powered ships (liquified natural gas) on order. In the meantime, Sky Princess, the fourth in the Royal-class series, will debut in October 2019.
