Three Princess Cruises ships are set to undergo drydocks in April: the Emerald Princess, the Grand Princess and the Regal Princess.
The first ship to enter drydock was the Emerald Princess, which recently arrived at the Fincantieri shipyard in Palermo, Italy.
After repositioning to Europe earlier this month, the 2007-built vessel arrived at the facility for scheduled maintenance, in addition to class inspections and technical work.
Set to spend the upcoming summer season sailing from Southampton, the Emerald Princess will resume service on April 29, 2025.
Before kicking off a summer deployment in Alaska and Canada, the Grand Princess is also undergoing a drydock.
The 1998-built ship arrived at the Vigor Shipyard in Portland in mid-April and is now going through regular maintenance.
Before welcoming guests back in early May, the Grand Princess is also scheduled to see class inspections, as well as upkeep and minor updates to public areas and staterooms.
A third Princess ship is undergoing a drydock later this month, the Regal Princess.
Currently sailing in Northern Europe, the vessel is set to arrive at the Damen Shiprepair Yard in Rotterdam on April 25, 2025.
The 3,600-guest ship is expected to undergo technical work and general maintenance before resuming service in early May.
Sailing from Southampton, the Regal Princess is set to offer 12-night cruises to the British Isles during the summer of 2025.
Earlier this year, the Majestic Princess also visited a shipyard Europe, emerging from drydock with new venues and reimagined spaces.
According to Princess, the 2017-built vessel saw the addition of new bars and restaurants, including O’Malley’s Irish Pub, Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria and Good Spirits at Sea.
Sailing in Europe for the first time in eight years, the ship is currently offering itineraries in the Mediterranean.
