The ship, which was involved in a high profile Covid-19 outbreak in Japan earlier this year, will sail its maiden season in the region from December 2021 to March 2022 and operate itineraries to Antarctica.
The vessel will replace Sapphire Princess and also offer two new Pacific Crossings to and from Asia in autumn 2021 and spring 2022 between Los Angeles and either Singapore or Yokohama (near Tokyo).
