of Princess Cruises’ newest ship,
due to be delivered in mid-2017.

luxury vessel designed and built
specifically for Chinese guests.
The line homeported its first
ship in China last year, with

its first season in Shanghai and
starting a second stint from Jun.
Like its sisters, the new Princess
will offer a multi-storey atrium,
overwater SeaWalk, Princess

international dining options.
Itineraries to be operated by
the as-yet-unnamed vessel will be
announced on a future date.
