Princess Cruises Is Launching Another New Ship

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - October 6, 2019

Princess Cruises has another new cruise ship on the horizon: the newly-named Discovery Princess. 

The newest Princess ship will make its debut for the 2021-2022 cruise season, a schedule that will be focused on the West Coast in Los Angeles. 

Discovery Princess will be the sixth in Princess’ “Royal Class” of ships, with 3,660 passengers and a weight of 143,700 tons. 

The ship will make its official debut Nov. 3, 2021, with a Mexico-heavy schedule out of its Los Angeles homeport. 

Discovery Princess will take our guests on the most memorable vacations of their lifetime introducing them to new sights, new cultures, and new experiences onboard every voyage,” said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises president. “Discovery is both an expression of our brand as well as an important aspect of our guest experience. We know Discovery Princess will offer our guests cruise vacations that create memories they will cherish for a lifetime and we’re proud to mark a major milestone basing our newest ship on the West Coast.”

The ship’s first season will include 30 departures to more than 50 destinations, including six voyages in the Caribbean region ranging from eight to 16 days.
