Cruise News Today — September 16, 2022: Bermuda Scams Cruise Guests, New Princess Ship, More Restart
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several significant developments within the cruise industry for September 16, 2022. Princess Cruises has officially named its first LNG Sphere class vessel the Sun Princess. This ship is expected to be the largest in the fleet, measuring 175,500 gross registered tons and accommodating over 4,000 guests. The vessel will feature a multi-level dome deck and a new suite category known as the Signature Collection. The Sun Princess is scheduled to debut in the Mediterranean in early 2024 before moving to Caribbean itineraries from Port Everglades in the fall. The report also addresses why Celebrity Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line have cancelled visits to Bermuda. While the island maintains a COVID-19 testing policy and a forty dollar health passport fee, a government senator suggested the policy serves as a major revenue stream expected to earn 22 million dollars this year. Finally, cruising has returned to Melbourne, Australia, with the arrival of the Coral Princess. This marks the beginning of a season that will see several Carnival Corporation ships, including Grand Princess and Cunard's Queen Elizabeth, calling at the port. The news concludes with an update on rising cruise line stocks for Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian.
