Speaking to TTG at Princess’s 2026 UK and Europe programme launch event in London last night (9 May), Williamson said the line was looking at flying customers from five airports across the UK and Ireland in 2025. 


Pressed on which airlines and airports guests could potentially choose from next year, Williamson said: “We’re having discussions with a number of airlines about allocations. We know we can get our guests the best pricing if we start discussions early. 


“We’re also looking regionally – not just London – due to feedback from our guests and agents. We are looking at five airports across the UK and Ireland.”
