New Royal Princess Will Call Port Everglades Home


Port Everglades will be the home port for Princess Cruises newest ship 


Port Everglades is one of the busiest cruise ports in the world with more than 3.6 million passengers expected during 2013.

The new 141,000 -ton, 3,600-passenger Royal Princess will debut in June 2013, the first of two new-generation ships for Princess currently being built. 

The ship’s design will be an evolution of Princess’ classic style, while including some new features and expanded signature spaces. 

Among the new features found on board will be a 50% larger atrium which is the social hub of the ship; a dramatic over-water SeaWalk, a top-deck glass-bottomed walkway extending more than 28 feet beyond the edge of the vessel; plush private poolside cabanas that appear to be floating on the water; a dazzling water and light show; the new Princess Live! television studio; a dedicated pastry shop; more dining options including a special Chef’s Table Lumiere, a private space that surrounds diners in a curtain of light; and balconies on all outside staterooms.

Royal Princess’ inaugural cruise will depart from Southampton on June 16, 2013, followed by seasons of cruising in the Mediterranean and the Eastern Caribbean. A sister ship, Regal Princess, will debut in 2014.
