Princess Cruises rolls out more giant screens

Princess Cruises will add large poolside screens to most of its ships by 2011.

The "Movies Under the Stars" 300 sq ft screens are used to show films, concerts and even video game contests. They are currently installed on six ships, and the expansion programme will see them added to a further seven.

Pieter Van Der Schee, head of brand marketing at Princess Cruises UK, said: “Movies Under the Stars has become such a popular part of the Princess entertainment experience on those ships that have it, that we were inspired to expand it across the fleet.”

The first screen was installed on the Caribbean Princess in 2004.

Celebrity Eclipse to call Southampton home!

Southampton is to become the home port of its Celebrity Cruises' newest ship, Celebrity Eclipse, in summer 2010.

The 122,000-tonne Eclipse is the third Solstice-class ship, carrying 2,850 passengers.

It will join sister ships Celebrity Solstice, launched on November 13 in Florida and to operate in Europe, and Celebrity Equinox, which will launch in Southampton in July 2009 and be based out of Civitavecchia (Rome).

Eclipse will also be launched in Southampton, with itineraries going on sale the first week of March 2009. It will offer cruises to the Mediterranean and northern Europe.

Dan Hanrahan, president and chief executive of Celebrity Cruises, said: “Celebrity Cruises has enjoyed a strong relationship with the UK and Ireland market and experienced steadily increasing guest numbers in recent years.

"Investing in the future of that relationship with Celebrity Eclipse homeporting from Southampton is an exciting development for our business.”

Features of the Solstice-class ships include lawn areas larger than eight tennis courts and with real grass, glass blowing demonstrations, 10 restaurants, and 85% of staterooms having a balcony.

P&O Cruises Names Ship

P&O Cruises has revealed its new supercruiser will be named Azura.

Due to launch in spring 2010, Azura will be one of the two largest ships ever built for P&O at 116,000 tonnes and carrying 3,100 passengers.

The ship will have 15 public decks, 11 restaurants, five boutiques, four pools, two lounges and 900 private balconies.

Construction begun today with a ceremony to mark the keel-laying at the Monfalcone shipyard of Fincantieri near Trieste, Italy, which saw one section of the ship’s hull weighing 650 tonnes being put into place in the dry dock.


Nigel Esdale, P&O Cruises managing director, said: “Evoking images of the ocean and capturing the thrill of cruise travel, the name Azura is very fitting for this most sophisticated of superliners.

"It is also appropriate for a ship that will be a haven of serenity and the embodiment the choice and service excellence for which P&O Cruises is renowned.”

A Fond Farewell to an Old Friend

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ oldest ship Black Prince is to be retired in a year’s time.

The 441-passenger ship will leave the five-strong fleet following a series of farewell cruises.

The vessel, built for the company in 1966, will run four farewell cruises starting on September 9 from Liverpool, and ending on October 16 in Southampton.

Managing director Mike Rodwell said: “This is a very sad announcement for the company to make as Black Prince is one of the best loved ships that caters to the UK market, and many passengers have cruised on her so often that even they have lost track of the number of holidays they have taken.

“We know that there will be thousands of passengers who have sailed on her who will be very sad on that final day.”

Black Prince entered service as a passenger/freight ferry operating between the UK and the Canary islands in the winter and the UK and Norway in the summer.

The ship was converted to a full-time cruise ship in 1987.
