After a five-year building sabbatical, Princess Cruises conceived two sisters with the arrivals of the <\/span>Royal Princess<\/a> (June 2013) and the <\/span>Regal Princess<\/a> (May this year). The 17th and 18th ships in the <\/span>Princess<\/a> fleet are unlike any others, as new ships usually are, and the people at <\/span>Fincantieri<\/a> have made this baby "premature." It's due two weeks ahead of schedule and will sail a pair of Venice-Athens cruises before its original inaugural, a 20-day <\/span>Mediterranean Escape<\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Launch date:<\/b> May 20<\/span><\/p>\n

Capacity:<\/b> 3,560<\/span><\/p>\n

Sister ships:<\/b> Royal Princess<\/span><\/p>\n

Maiden Voyage:<\/b> Venice<\/a> to Athens<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Home Ports:<\/b> Venice\/Fort Lauderdale<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Ships now in Princess fleet:<\/b> 18<\/span><\/p>\n

Interesting:<\/b> All new ships have some kind of signature and, for the Regal Princess and her sister, that was the SeaWalk<\/i>, a see-through walkway that extends 28 feet over the side, 128 feet above the water. A virtual twin to the Royal Princess, the Regal also has the Princess Live!<\/i> TV studio and the cruise line's largest top-deck pool. All outside staterooms have balconies. No word yet on who will be the Godmother but "junior Princess" has a tough act to follow…the Duchess of Cambridge<\/a> did the honors last June just a few weeks before delivering the royal baby and the ceremony was, as the Brits would say, smashing!<\/span><\/p>\n
