On May 27, 2006, Fincantieri Cantieri Navali Italiani, of Monfalcone, Italy delivered the 113,000gt cruise ship "Crown Princess" to Princess Cruises. Crown Princess is now en route to New York where Martha Stewart will christen her on June 14, 2006. Crown Princess Debuts with New Features Debuting in June, Crown Princess will introduce a number of new design innovations to the Princess fleet, including a dramatic new piazza-style atrium, new casual dining venues and expansion of some favorite shipboard areas. Within the new street café environment of the atrium, passengers will find an International Café serving up fresh pastries and baked goods in the morning and assorted other offerings throughout the day, as well as a wine and seafood bar. Several signature Princess venues have been further enhanced, including an expanded Sabatini's trattoria with a new piano lounge area. A new Crown Grill steak and seafood restaurant expands on the Sterling Steakhouse concept with an open, theater-style kitchen where chefs will custom-prepare steamed shellfish and cooked-to-order steaks and chops Princess Offers First Caribbean Sailings From New York Crown Princess will also introduce Princess' first ever roundtrip Caribbean sailings from New York. The inaugural sailing season will feature nine-day roundtrip voyages to both the Eastern and Western Caribbean and will include Princess' return to Bermuda. Beginning June 14 and running through October 18, 2006, Crown Princess will offer 10 sailings on an Eastern Caribbean itinerary with calls at Bermuda (West End), San Juan, St. Thomas and a new port of call for Princess, Grand Turk in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
