In 2019 Princess Cruises will offer cruises from Dublin - something the cruise line has not done since 2009.
California-based Princess Cruises' 3,080-passenger Crown Princess will offer 12-night British Isles cruises from the Irish capital from May through September, featuring stops in Belfast, Glasgow, Invergordon, Edinburgh, Le Havre, Southampton, Guernsey and Cork.
In recent years, the cruise line has offered the same British Isles cruises during summers from Southampton and Le Havre. In 2019 passengers will still be able to begin the itinerary in one of the two ports but will also have the option of boarding in Dublin.
Crown Princess will sail a single one-way cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Dublin April 2019 as she will reposition to the British Isles from Caribbean. The 18-night trip will offer stops in Portugal, Belgium and the UK.
In the fall of 2019 Crown Princess will sail a one-way 25-night cruise back to Fort Lauderdale. The trip will include stops in the UK, Belgium, Spain, Portugal.
Princess Cruises offered a cruise from Dublin in 2009 onboard Tahitian Princess, that since has been renamed to Ocean Princess.
Prices for the new cruises from Dublin start at US$2,099 per person, based on double occupancy, not including fees, taxes and port expenses.
