The reintroduction of Crown Princess, Island Princess and Royal Princess will mean 80% of Princess’ fleet has resumed cruising since July 2021.
Island departed Fort Lauderdale on 27 April on a Panama Canal cruise, Royal sailed from Vancouver on 2 May for its "Voyage of the Glaciers" Alaska season and Crown is scheduled to depart Seattle on 7 May for a summer programme of Inside Passage Alaska cruises.
John Padgett, Princess Cruises president, said : "We’re so excited to have three more Princess Medallion-class ships return to service and our shipboard teams are ready to help our guests create a lifetime of vacation memories.
"It’s so gratifying to see tens of thousands of guests each week enjoying their vacations with us and the friendly and attentive service that is a Princess Cruises hallmark."
Meanwhile, Enchanted Princess made its maiden call to the Port of Southampton on Wednesday (4 May), where a plaque and key ceremony was held onboard to mark the occasion.
The vessel will offer 13 new voyages from Southampton ranging from four to 14 nights. Itineraries include short cruises and longer voyages to the Canary Islands, Mediterranean, Scandinavia, Norway and Iceland. Prices start at £849pp.
Enchanted’s staff captain Raffaele Di Martino thanked ABP for welcoming the vessel to Southampton. "It is an honour for us to call for the first time to this special port," he added.
"We were impressed by the welcome we had from the crew port side and we look forward to sailing from Southampton this summer for a season of Europe cruises on Enchanted Princess."
