Last week Princess Cruises opened bookings for its series of short breaks and week-long cruises aboard MedallionClass ships, Regal Princess and Sky Princess. Like sister brands P&O Cruises and Cunard, these new three to seven night holidays will sail from Southampton around the UK coast from late summer.
Regal Princess is sailing 14 UK voyages running from July 31 through to September 23, 2021 and Sky Princess is offering eight UK cruises, running from August 30 through to September 28, 2021. Both will sail scenic cruises and voyages with stops in UK ports-of-call including Liverpool, Belfast and Greenock.
Given the advanced progress of the UK vaccination programme, and strong expressed preference on the part of Guests for this limited series of UK coastal cruises, these sailings on Regal Princess and Sky Princess will be for UK resident COVID-19 vaccinated Guests only.
Tony Roberts, Princess Cruises Vice President UK and Europe, commented,
We share in our guests’ excitement today as we unveil the details for our new Summer Seacations. With Princess Cruises, the ship is also the destination. Guests can make the most of our multiple dining options, order food and drink poolside, using the MedallionClass app, that can be delivered to you, and enjoy fantastic entertainment both day and night.
“These resort-style seacations offer the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy some time off. We believe that these cruises will appeal to both our loyal guests who are eager to get back onboard our beautiful MedallionClass ships and holidaymakers looking to experience Princess for the first time.
“While international travel remains uncertain, these new cruises mean that UK residents can take a well-deserved holiday around the UK. We are also delighted that our new cruises will offer the choice between scenic voyages and port-of-call itineraries where guests can visit the historic UK cities of Liverpool, Belfast and Glasgow.”
These Summer Seacations will feature many of the signature onboard experiences enjoyed on a Princess holiday. All world-class dining venues will be open and a variety of entertainment will be on offer including award-winning production shows in the Princess Theatre, Movies Under the Stars, celebrity Guest speakers and live musical performances, Relaxation and leisure facilities such as fitness classes, swimming pools and spa treatments will also be available.
All-inclusive fares for a balcony stateroom start from £539pp for a three-night scenic voyage; £599pp for a four-night cruise with up to one port; and £999pp for a seven-night cruise with up to three ports-of-call. Guests can book with a £50 deposit if booked before May 3, 2021.
