Regal Princess 2020-21 Australia Season

[23ros]

I saw today that the beautiful Regal Princess will be coming to Australia for the 2020-21 season from Rome.

Anyone know anymore on this??

 

Very exciting

I guess Regal will replace Ruby in Sydney.  The Sydney OPT icalendar s already heavily booked for the 2020/21 season, so the dates and itineraries are pretty much set by that.  

There aren't enough unused port days in that season for Princess to operate 3 ships out of Sydney.  Therefore, Ruby may replace Golden in Melbourne as she is moving to P&O at the end of the 2019/20 season IIRC.   

These are just guesses.

Very interesting. She wouldn’t be my first choice but would love to see her itineraries. 

 

From cruise industry news

 

“Princess Cruises today announced plans to expand its presence in Sydney, with its 3,560-guest Regal Princess set to sail alongside sister ship, the Majestic Princess out of Sydney.

The 141,000-ton Regal Princess will be deployed out of Sydney for her maiden Australian season from December 2020 to April 2021.

The move follows growing demand for cruise holidays, and represents a 40 percent increase in Princess Cruises’ capacity from Sydney compared with the line’s current 2018-2019 summer season, the company said. 

Princess Cruises’ Senior Vice President Asia Pacific, Stuart Allison said: “Further to the incredible response to Majestic Princess’ maiden season in Australia, I’m delighted to now share that Regal Princess, will also call Sydney home in the Summer of 2020. Not only will this be the first time in history that Princess Cruises has deployed two Royal-Class ships from the same homeport outside the Caribbean, but it will be the biggest deployment we’ve ever had in Sydney."

The Regal Princess will sail from Rome to Sydney on a voyage crossing four continents, with the itinerary on sale from November 20, 2018.

A more detailed deployment for Regal Princess from Sydney will be announced in late March 2019.

With five of its 18-strong fleet cruising down under in 2019, Princess Cruises ranks Australia as its biggest market outside the United States.”

Yes more ships the merrier down under. Ruby will be nice to sail on her again if based in Melbourne.

Here’s hoping the Regal and Majestic will do different itineraries to each other. I expect they won’t but we can live in hope.

If anyone is looking for the itinerary heading down to Sydney, the segments are on the Australian/New Zealand cruisers board.
