Eithne Williamson, vice president Princess Cruises UK, Ireland, and EMEA, said: “This expanded Europe 2027 programme underscores the strength of the UK and Europe market and our confidence in its continued growth. By basing an additional ship in Europe and increasing departures from Southampton, we’re responding directly to strong agent demand for more ex-UK departures as well as an increase choice in itineraries that visit destinations such as Iceland and Norway, the Baltics, and the Mediterranean.

“Our new, combinable itineraries broaden the variety of our Europe programme, providing agents with flexible options to match every customer, from short seven‑night breaks to extended multi‑week journeys. This enhanced portfolio helps agents generate more business and driver further growth of Princess in the UK market.”

It comes after Princess Cruises appointed Yasmin Mckechnie as its new UK & Europe sales director in December.
