Cruising never tasted so good

A princess is returning to the ocean for a gourmet treat at sea.

Princess Cruises has announced that Dawn Princess will cruise out of dry dock in May offering Australia’s first gourmet food and wine festival at sea.

As part of the multi-million refurbishment in Singapore from May 11 to 24, the Australian-based superliner will become the first ship in the fleet to offer a Beer and Wine Garden Festival at sea. The festival is to be held twice during cruises of more than seven days.

The Dawn Princess will also emerge with a renovated Wheelhouse Bar, a new Italian café, a new range of cuisines at the World Fresh Marketplace, a refreshed Lotus Spa with three new Kiwi treatment, and new initiatives with Animal Planet and Discovery at Sea.

The first chance to experience Dawn Princess’ new on-board offerings is on the 12-night cruise from Singapore to Fremantle, from $949 per person twin share.
