Boat features
A stopover from SKY Princess does not go unnoticed! This mastodon, sistership of the Royal Princess or Regal Princess, was put into service on October 15, 2019 and is part of a series built for the Carnival group and whose members were distributed in two branches, namely Princess Cruises and P&O Cruises. A little nod to history, the SKY Princess takes the name of another liner which was built in La Seyne Sur Mer in France in 1984 and which served in the fleet between 1988 and 2000. The latter was demolished in 2013 under the nameANTIC. © Liners & Merchant Marine Association
