Princess Cruises has released its highly anticipated 2028/29 program for Australia and New Zealand. The big news is that three ships are coming to Australia, which will Royal Princess and Grand Princess, as well as the return of Emerald Princess, after more than 10 years sailing outside of Australia.

Princess had previously announced that they'll be returning to homeport out of Melbourne, after years of not having a ship stationed there. Cruise Passenger can now confirm that sailings out of Melbourne will be shared between Emerald Princess and Grand Princess.

The other big news is that while complete details are still yet to arrive, we know Princess will have departures out of Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Auckland and as mentioned, Melbourne.

More info will come on exactly how many different sailings there will be out of each of these cities. Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane will likely be the homeport for the majority of the season's cruises.

Itineraries are promised across the Kimberley Coast, Western Australia, Queensland, Tasmania, Southern Australia and more.

Emerald Princess will be mostly homeported out of Sydney, with Princess calling it the return of Emerald Princess to the Emerald City.

What do you think?
