Princess Cruises once one of the most important cruise ship customers to the port has announced its 2017 cruise vacations to Europe.

The 2017 Europe season marks the line’s largest British Isles season ever with 12 departures on Caribbean Princess and two on Pacific Princess.

Next week Princess will announce details of all the 2017 European cruises. Pacific Princess may well call here but it is doubtful if the mega cruise ship Caribbean Princess will call as Princess has boycotted the port for several years due to tendering passengers ashore from the 100,000 ton cruise ships anchored in the bay.
