PRINCESS Cruises has announced it will homeport its 2,600-passenger Grand Princess in Singapore for the first time during the 2020/21 season – making it the first MedallionClass ship to arrive in Southeast Asia.
The vessel will replace Sapphire Princess in the popular cruise port, and boasts the line’s latest Ocean Medallion technology.
The new wearable device allows guests to locate family members, open stateroom doors, order services from the crew and more.
“We are absolutely thrilled to announce Grand Princess homeporting in Singapore – this marks a significant milestone for Princess Cruises,” said Princess Cruises Director, Southeast Asia Farriek Tawfik.
“This gives us an opportunity to deliver new enriching experiences, creating excitement and sparking interest among guests,” he added.
Grand Princess will offer four- to 21-day itineraries exploring Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia, providing a convenient option for Australian guests to enjoy new fly cruise packages.
Dining venues on board the ship include Slice Pizzeria, The Mix, Salty Dog Grill, Coffee & Cones and the upscale specialty restaurant Crown Grill, which offers a variety of premium beef and seafood, cooked-to-order in an open, theatre-style kitchen.
Closer to home, Princess Cruises’ new Ocean Medallion technology will arrive on local shores when Ruby Princess homeports in Australia in 2020.
