MAJESTIC Princess will offer 16 sailings in Australia and New Zealand as part of the ship’s debut season in this region, running from Sep 2018 until Mar 2019.
The deployment of Princess Cruises’ newest ship to ANZ waters is in response to commercial demands from this market, with Australian cruisers Princess’ number one int’l market for the last few years, vp of ANZ Stuart Allison told Cruise Weekly.
“Australians spend more nights on a Princess ship than they do on any other cruise line.
“Really for us, it was the next step after bringing a bigger ship like Emerald to Australia,” he said, referring to the 2016/17 season in which Princess achieved a 75% y-o-y increase in pax numbers.
Based from Sydney, Majestic will offer a range of round-trip and one-way cruises to New Zealand, as well as to Fiji and Tasmania.
Repositioning cruises from Shanghai and to Hong Kong will top-and-tail her deployment.
Fares are priced from $1,499 per person twin share for a balcony room on a six-night cruise to Tasmania departing 18 Nov 18.
