New destination for Princess Cruises

From May next year, Princess Cruises will introduce new round-trip cruises to China, using Shanghai as its home port.

The 2014 China season will feature four different itineraries, ranging from three to seven days.

The seven-day Sapphire Princess itinerary will take passengers to Seoul, on to the beach resort of Busan and end at the island of Jeju, before returning to Shanghai. The five-day cruise will call at Jeju and Inchon; the four-day itinerary will call at Busan and Jeju, while the three-day cruise calls at Jeju.

Passengers on the new China-based cruises will be treated to cultural, culinary, entertaining, and inspiring programmes, including world leader dinners, sommelier wine excursions, daily English high tea, a 24-hour buffet at sea, Tai Chi and Zumba at sea, a ‘Princess Night’ bedtime experience, and a shopping experience. Designed to appeal to multigenerational groups, ‘Touch of Class’ personal enrichment courses will also be offered for adults and children.

Princess’s new 2014 season of cruises will go on sale to the public on November 1.
