Princess Cruises added a new ship to their fleet this morning with the delivery of Discovery Princess at the Fincantieri Shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy. The 15th MedallionClass ship to enter the Princess fleet, Discovery Princess will make her way from Italy to Los Angeles for a series of Mexican Riviera and California Coast cruises in March and April 2022 before sailing up the Pacific coast to begin a season of seven-day Alaska cruises from Seattle.
The ceremony was attended by John Padgett, President of Princess Cruises, Captain Gennaro Arma, and Luigi Matarazzo, the General Manager Merchant Ships Division of Fincantieri.
“Today marks a significant milestone for Princess Cruises as we officially take ownership of the spectacular Discovery Princess,” said 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.”
