CRUISE UPDATE

New Majestic Princess to be based in Australasia
Princess Cruises has announced that the spectacular new Majestic
Princess will be based in Australasia over the 2018-19 summer,
offering a series of cruises between Auckland and Sydney.
Majestic Princess will offer 16 cruises including six one-way
cruises between Auckland and Sydney, giving New Zealanders an
unparalleled opportunity to sail on the luxurious flagship of Princess
Cruises’ 18-ship fleet.
Majestic Princess was launched in April 2017 and is currently cruising
in Europe and China before heading south to Australia and New
Zealand from September 2018 to March 2019, after which she will
return to China.
The ultimate in premium cruising, Majestic Princess features 13 dining
options including two restaurants with menus designed by Michelin-
star chefs – Harmony by Chef Richard Chen and La Mer by Chef
Emmanuel Renaut – as well as more than 1,000 square metres of
designer shopping, the cruise line’s largest-ever thermal suite and a
dramatic over-the-ocean glass walkway, the SeaWalk.
Guests can enjoy a wide range of high-end accommodation
including suites, Club Class mini-suites and new deluxe
balcony rooms, with more than 80 per cent of the ship’s 1780
staterooms offering private balconies. Carrying 3,560 guests,
the 143,000-tonne Majestic Princess will be the largest Princess
Cruises’ ship ever to sail in local waters.
