Cruise line Princess Cruises is expanding with another new ship: Enchanted Princess.

The company officially debuted the ship’s name this week, with plans to launch in 2020.

Enchanted Princess’ arrival will be followed by another new ship in 2022.

Princess Cruises also has orders for two ships powered by linquefied natural gas.

“The name Enchanted Princess is captivating and conveys the elegance and grace of our new ship which will introduce more travelers to the pleasures and value of cruising,” said Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises. “We are certain Enchanted Princess will exceed the expectations of our guests, ensuring they have the most memorable cruise vacation.”

The 143,700-ton Enchanted Princess, which will have a capacity for 3,600 passengers, will be a sister ship to four other “Royal-class” ships in Princess’ fleet.
