Princess Cruises is to deploy a ‘boutique’ ship out of Dover for the first time next year.
 
The sailings by 670-passenger Ocean Princess will supplement an expanded range of departures from Southampton by 2,600-passenger Grand Princess in its second summer operating from the UK.
 
The 3,110-passenger Crown Princess will also return to Southampton in 2010 to run 12-night cruises to the Norwegian fjords and Iceland as well as a series of round-Britain voyages.
 
Grand Princess will run an additional two departures next year over this summer, representing an 18% rise in capacity.
 
The 2,600-passenger vessel is to operate four week-long cruises to Spain and Scandinavia in addition to nine 14-night itineraries to the Mediterranean.
 
Smaller Ocean Princess will run a series of new seven-night sailings to Scandinavia from Dover as well as an 18-night Land of the Midnight Sun itinerary taking in Spitsbergen and Murmansk.
 
Details of the ex-UK departures and increased fly-cruise options on a total of six ships in Europe in summer 2010 feature in a redesigned Mediterranean, Scandinavia, Canada & New England brochure which goes on sale on April 20.
 
Eight new week-long fly-cruises feature on Ocean Princess from the port of Rome and between Rome and Athens following a repositioning cruise from Dover.
 
Ruby Princess will run 12-night fly-cruises with flight connections from London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow alternating between Barcelona and Venice.
 
Pacific Princess, sister vessel Ocean Princess, is to run 17 12-night cruises from Rome, Athens and Venice to the Black Sea, Aegean, Israel and Egypt.
 
Star Princess will start the summer offering 10-night Scandinavian fly-cruises from Copenhagen before moving to the Med between the end of September and November 2010.
 
Seven-night cruises on Grand Princess lead-in at £599 per person including early booking discount, while 14-night itineraries start at £1,099 with free coach transfers or car parking at Southampton.
