New vessels, with 'evolutionary designs,' to debut in 2013 and 2014

Princess Cruises is going ahead with plans to add two 3,600-passenger ships to its fleet. The Carnival Corp. & plc unit said it has finalized contracts to build the two as-yet-unnamed ships at Italy's Fincantieri shipyard.
The new ships, which are scheduled to enter service in spring 2013 and spring 2014, will be the largest in the Princess Cruises' fleet, which currently consists of 17 vessels.
Princess officials say the new ships' design will be evolutionary, retaining the themes of the line's newest vessels, but with some new features and innovations. For example, all outside cabins will feature balconies. In addition, the ships' central atriums (which house dining, entertainment and retail) will be expanded, as will their spas and restaurants.
“We're pleased that in this challenging economic environment, the order for these new ships is a testament to the confidence in the growth potential of the Princess brand,” said Alan Buckelew, president and ceo Princess Cruises. “These new ships will include the features from our newest ships that have been so well received, and take them to the next level.”
