PRINCESS Cruises has revealed plans to double its cruises to and from Adelaide during the 2020-21 summer season, on the back of higher than expected demand for its inaugural 2019-20 season.
The 20-cruise program will feature an “unprecedented” six roundtrip cruises departing from the city on board its Sea Princess, Sapphire Princess and Majestic Princess ships.
South Australia Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, David Ridgway welcomed the announcement, stating the additional cruises would deliver positive flow-on benefits for the state’s economy.
“Princess Cruises’ significant investment follows a record cruise season for South Australia, which saw 82 ships bringing up to 170,000 passengers and crew into our ports and injecting more than $118m into the local economy,” Ridgway said.
Princess Cruises Senior Vice President Asia Pacific, Stuart Allison said the program reflected the popularity of cruises along the southern Australian coastline.
