Majestic Princes is starting her fifth season in Australia as part of the Royal Class deployment down under alongside sister Royal Princess.
These two magnificent ships were built by Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri in Monfalcone and carry the lines’ signature Medallion technology that allows guests to receive personal service wherever they are on the ship.
The wearable Medallion technology allows you to order food and drink from anywhere on the ship and it will be delivered. It will open your suite door and turn on the aircon as you walk down the corridor. It is delivered to your home – and in Australia that is on offer – you can book your meals and shore excursions before you board.
Majestic Princess had her maiden voyage in 2017, after which she was due to sail in the Chinese market. But China proved too difficult and in 2021, the ship was moved to North America, the California Coast, and Australia.
She sails on to a number of destinations around Australia, the South Pacific as well as New Zealand during the wave season.
