Princess Cruises has taken delivery of the Sun Princess at Fincantieri shipyard.
The 175,500-ton ship can accommodate 4,300 guests and is described by the cruise line as the most impressive and luxurious Love Boat ever created.
Additional technical work is required for the ship, resulting in the cancellation of the February 18 voyage. The maiden voyage is now scheduled for February 28 from Rome.
Guests who were booked on the cancelled voyage will receive a full refund of the cruise fare, along with a 50pc future cruise credit (FCC) for a future Princess voyage. The cruise brand is also offering financial reimbursement for select travel costs and certain changes fees related to flights.
