Because of the pending transfer of the Royal Princess into the fleet of P&O Cruises, there have been adjustments made to the ship's schedule.


The following 2011 sailings are being cancelled:

• April 6, 2011 10-day Tahiti & Polynesia
• April 16, 2011 10-day Tahiti & Polynesia
• April 26, 2011 12-day Hawaii & Tahiti
• May 8, 2011 10-day Hawaiian Islands
• May 18, 2011 1-day coastal


The new 26-day cruise that replaces these sailings will depart April 6, 2011 and travel between Papeete, Tahiti and Fort Lauderdale. Ports of call will include Bora Bora, Moorea, Pitcairn Island (for scenic cruising), Easter Island, Pisco (San Martin), Lima (Callao for Machu Picchu overland excursion), Quito (Manta), Panama Canal Transit, San Blas, and Limón. Fares begin at $4,145 per person, double occupancy.

The ship will then go into a drydock in the Bahamas to change its livery prior to joining the P&O Cruises fleet in May 2011.
Royal Princess joined the Princess fleet in 2007, having originally been built in 2001.
