Handover ceremony at Fincantieri marks completion of newbuild
The newest cruise ship in the Princess Cruises fleet – Discovery Princess – has been delivered during an official handover at Fincantieri Shipyard.
Discovery Princess expands the Princess Cruises fleet to 15 MedallionClass vessels and features an evolution of the design platform used for the cruise line’s previous Royal-class ships.
"Today marks a significant milestone for Princess Cruises as we officially take ownership of the spectacular Discovery Princess," said Princess Cruises president John Padgett.
"We extend our immense gratitude to our long-time and trusted partners at Fincantieri, the shipbuilders of all six of our Royal-class vessels with Discovery Princess and look forward to welcoming our first guests to experience the beauty of the ship when they embark in just a few weeks."
3,660-guest Discovery Princess is the sixth and final Royal-class newbuild. It is the newest ship to join the fleet offering Princess MedallionClass Vacations which begins with the Medallion wearable, a quarter-sized device that enables expedited contactless boarding, the ability to locate family and friends anywhere on the ship, and enhanced service such as having whatever guests need delivered directly to them wherever they are on the ship.
In addition, Princess Cruises said guests can share cruise experiences using MedallionNet, stay connected with friends and family back home, work remotely anywhere on the ship, quickly post content and stream movies and shows.
