Sun Princess Makes Historic Journey

The Sun Princess has made a historic voyage – directly into a league of her own – as she passed under the Sydney Harbour Bridge yesterday.

P&O Cruises reports that the Sun Princess is the largest cruise ship to ever make such a journey – and with only two and a half metres to spare between the mammoth liner and the bridge itself.

She made the manoeuvre following a one-month cruise from America. The Sun Princess will now dock at Darling Harbour before sailing to Brisbane.

"Not only has Sun Princess set a new record by becoming the largest cruise ship to sail under Sydney’s iconic bridge, she’ll also set a new standard for cruising in Australia by offering a premium cruise experience for Australians year-round," commented Ann Sherry, chief executive officer for Carnival Cruises - the ship’s Australian operator.

The Sun Princess is also due to sail to Russia, Japan and China as well as embarking on an Alaska cruise this winter.

The ship boasts eight restaurants and cafes, seven lounges and bars, a theatre and spa, as well as four pools and five whirlpool spas.
