Princess Details 2017 European Sailings

Princess Cruises is set to have an amazing European cruising season next year in 2017.  It will showcase top-rated itineraries and include the cruise line’s new “Global Partners + Local Experts” program, which will enrich guests’ vacation experience and deepen their knowledge of the destinations.

The 2017 cruises to Europe will include the inaugural sailings of Princess’ newest ship, Majestic Princess.  The season features six ships sailing to 119 destinations – from the Mediterranean to the northernmost parts of Europe.  There will be 64 unique itineraries on 153 cruise departures, visiting 27 countries.  Majestic Princess will debut in April, and will do a series of 5-28 day sailings in the Mediterranean from Barcelona, Athens, and Rome.

The new “Global Partners + Local Experts” program aims to inspire guests by sharing the passion the company’s port partners have for their destination.  The experts know their destination best, and they will share their thoughts, experiences, and recommendations for the places that they call home.  Also featured are local onboard speakers, new tours, port guides and walking maps, and an insider’s guide on neat things made in each port.

Highlights of the 2017 European program include:

  • Majestic Princess – The newest Princess ship will debut in Rome on April 4, 2017 for a five-day Adriatic Sea voyage stopping in Kotor and Corfu.  She will then sail a series of 7, 14, 21, and 28-day Mediterranean voyages departing Barcelona, Athens, and Rome from April 9 to May 14.
