Princes Cruises' Ruby Princess, now under construction in Italy, reached a significant construction milestone when water began to fill the building dock, signaling the start of its official float-out.
A ceremony marking the occasion was held at the shipyard in Monfalcone. When the dock is fully filled, which typically takes two days, the ship will be floated to the nearby outfitting dock, where final construction and interior finishing will take place.
The Ruby Princess, a sister ship to Emerald Princess and Crown Princess, will feature a piazza-style atrium featuring small-bite eateries and street entertainers, Princess' signature adults-only retreat called The Sanctuary, an Italian trattoria, a seafood and steak house, a giant outdoor movie screen and 900 cabins with balconies.
The 113,000-ton ship will begin inaugural sailings in November with a series of Western Caribbean cruises.
