Emerald Princess Sails Through Sea Trials
Jan 17, 2007
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (January 17, 2007) -- The upcoming Emerald Princess recently sailed through her sea trials, marking a key construction milestone on the way to the ship's April 2007 debut.
Emerald Princess departed the building dock at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy, and sailed for several days as the vessel's technical systems were successfully tested.
The ship will debut on her maiden voyage on April 11 this year, launching a summer season of 12-day Greek Isles and Mediterranean sailings featuring the highlights of the region.
The ship will be named in a historic dual christening ceremony in tandem with Royal Princess, in Santorini, Greece on May 12, 2007 -- the first double ship launch for Princess.
