Princess Cruises: Regal Princess returns to service - what can you expect onboard?

Regal Princess celebrated the conclusion of its first Summer Seacation on Tuesday.

The Princess Cruises cruise ship set sail for the first time in 16 months on Saturday on a three-night scenic UK voyage.

Regal Princess is sailing a series of three- to seven-night UK coastal cruises until late September and will be joined by Sky Princess from August 30.

Both cruise ships will offer scenic cruises and itineraries with UK ports of-call to Portland, Liverpool, Belfast and Greenock.

Tony Roberts, vice president of Princess Cruises UK & Europe, said: “Our Summer Seacations have officially begun and we couldn’t be more delighted to have Princess Cruises sailing from the UK once again.

“The atmosphere onboard Regal Princess was electric and it was fantastic to see guests and crew so excited to be back onboard a Princess ship.

"The feedback from guests has been overwhelmingly positive, noting, in particular, the incredible service from crew and the quality of entertainment and dining."
