Enchanted Princess will be in Southampton for summer 2022 - what’s onboard?

Enchanted Princess Cruises from Southampton

Princess Cruises has revealed Enchanted Princess will be based in Southampton for the 2022 summer season.

Enchanted Princess initially joined the Princess line in 2021 for a Caribbean season before heading to Europe beginning this April. Sailing from Southampton, she joins her sister ship Sky Princess and two others, Island Princess and Emerald Princess.

Ranging from four to fourteen nights, Enchanted Princess’ thirteen new voyages begin on May 4, 2022. Exciting destinations for the 3,660-passenger ship include the Canary Islands, the Mediterranean and Norway.

Tony Roberts, vice president of Princess Cruises UK and Europe commented: “Bringing Enchanted Princess to Southampton is testament to the UK cruise market, as it shows that people are eager to sail with us and have memorable holidays at an incredible value.”

Enchanted Princess will also offer Princess’ MedallionClass. Wearing a small, 10 pence-sized device enables contactless boarding and enhanced service anywhere on the ship to make your experience even more relaxing.

Tickets for Enchanted Princess’ new itineraries are on sale now for the coming summer.

This is what you can expect onboard the cruise ship, from cabins to entertainment.

Enchanted Princess cabins

Cabin accommodations aboard Enchanted Princess range from affordable interior cabins to a luxurious Sky Suite.

If you prefer a view, go a step above an interior cabin and book an oceanview or balcony cabin. Both feature floor-to-ceiling windows for passengers to take in the full beauty of the ocean from the comfort of their room.

An all-inclusive balcony package starts at £499pp for a five-night cruise to Belgium, the Channel Islands and the Netherlands, including a premium drinks package and unlimited MedallionNet Wi-Fi.
