New brochure details Princess’ Europe schedule

Princess Cruises has published its Europe cruise brochure for 2013, featuring itineraries in the Baltic Sea, British Isles and the Mediterranean. Highlighting the program is the launch of the new Royal Princess, which will debut with a schedule of Mediterranean cruises. The brochure includes a full summary of the ship’s unique features, as well as all of the cruise choices available during the maiden season. Princess will have its youngest fleet ever in the region next year, with seven ships plying European waters, offering 60 itineraries on 124 departures between April and December 2013. Real passenger photos and quotes are used throughout the brochure for the first time, adding a personal perspective on the cruise destinations, from humorously “holding up”the Leaning Tower of Pisa to overlooking the picturesque Loch Ness in Scotland. Readers can travel along with passengers who have sailed before them, giving them a feeling for the images that may appear in their own photo albums someday. The brochure also offers added information about available shore excursions, as well as a new “How to Plan Your Cruise in 10 Easy Steps”page. Copies can be ordered through Princess’ OneSource travel agent centre at http://www.onesourcecruises.com .
