Royal Princess arrives in Southampton

On June 7, Princess Cruises’ newest ship, Royal Princess, arrived in Southampton where the vessel will be christened on June 13 by the Duchess of Cambridge.

The June 13 naming event will feature not only the christening by the Duchess, but also musical entertainment including British pop singer Natasha Bedingfield as well as a performance by British actress and ‘the first lady of London’s West End,’ Kerry Ellis. The Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Portsmouth and The Pipe Band of 1st Battalion Irish Guards will open the event with the pomp and ceremony of British ship-naming traditions.

Royal Princess is a new-generation ship and among the special features found on board is a multi-story atrium serving as the social hub of the ship offering a host of dining and entertainment options; an over-water SeaWalk, a top-deck glass-bottomed walkway extending 28 feet beyond the edge of the ship; plush private poolside cabanas that appear to be floating on water; the new Princess Live! television studio; a pastry shop at sea; a special Chef’s Table Lumiere, a private dining experience that surrounds diners in a curtain of light; and balconies on all outside staterooms.
