A Princess pays her respects
SYDNEY – Princess Cruises’ superliner Dawn Princess has made its maiden visit to Turkey’s Anzac Cove, with hundreds of Australian and New Zealand passengers taking part in a memorial service as the ship sailed through the historic waters.
The visit to the Gallipoli Peninsula was a highlight of Dawn Princess’ inaugural world cruise, which left Sydney in early July, and represents the first visit to Anzac Cove by an Australian-based cruise ship.
Dawn Princess’ captain presided over a ceremony on the ship’s top decks in memory of the thousands of Australians and New Zealanders who lost their lives at Anzac Cove during World War One.
Following the playing of the Last Post by a trumpeter, a wreath was laid over the side of the ship.
The hundreds of passengers who attended the ceremony included service veterans and descendants of soldiers who fought at Gallipoli.
Dawn Princess will visit Anzac Cove again next year during her 2010 world cruise.
