SINGAPORE – Starting late February 2018, Princess Cruises‘ newest and most luxurious cruise ship, Majestic Princess, will take guests from close-to-home departure ports in Asia to experience destinations in the region and Australasia.
The third ship in the Royal class of ships, the 3,560-guest Majestic Princess was launched in March 2017. It is tailored specifically for the Asian market, representing the newest and largest ships in the Princess Cruises fleet. The fourth Royal-class ship is scheduled for delivery in 2019.
Due to the popularity of Majestic Princess’ Asian features, the ship will be on homeporting in Taiwan with sailings to Japan from April to July 2018, after which she will be deployed in Australia from September 2018 through March 2019.
“Guests will no longer need to travel to Europe or the Americas to experience cruises on a Royal-Class ship offering luxurious accommodation and world-class facilities. Taiwan, Japan and Australasia are very popular cruise destinations amongst guests in this region as these ports are closer to home and easy to reach. As such, these new itineraries are expected to be very well-received,” said Mr. Farriek Tawfik, Director Southeast Asia, Princess Cruises.
On 25 February 2018, Majestic Princess will embark on a 14-day Grand Asia voyages sailing between Shanghai and Singapore, visiting Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and Thailand along the way, including late night calls in Hong Kong. The return voyage to Shanghai will depart Singapore on 11 March, 2018.

The highlight of this Taipei season will be two special 6 to 7-night Majestic Spring Flowers’ sailings from Taipei to Nagasaki, Sakaiminato, Busan, Kagoshima, Tokushima, Osaka and Miyazaki.

From September 2018 until March 2019, Majestic Princess will homeport in Sydney and offer 6 to 13-day itineraries, calling into ports at destinations around Australia as well as New Zealand, Fiji and other islands in the South Pacific.
