Evening departures from Belfast will be added to the 2018 programme, meaning guests will have more time to spend in the city than previous years. Belfast is the only port to have this on the round-Britain itinerary.

Royal Princess, launched by HRH The Duchess of Cambridge in 2013, last called at Belfast in 2015.

Royal Princess features in ITV documentary The Cruise, which is now in its second series and follows the lives of the ship’s guests and its 1,400-strong crew.
