Ruby Princess is a Grand-class cruise ship owned and operated by Princess Cruises. She was built in 2008 by Fincantieri in Trieste, Italy. She is a sister ship to Crown Princess and Emerald Princess. Ruby Princess was turned over to Carnival Corporation and Princess Cruises in late October 2008.[7] She was officially named at Fort Lauderdale, Florida on November 6, 2008 by Trista and Ryan Sutter.[4]
Design
_IMO_9378462;_in_Split,_2011-10-17_(1).jpg)
Ruby Princess continued the modified Grand Class design with the Skywalkers Night Club moved just aft of the funnel, rather than suspended over the stern like the original designs.[8] This modified design was first seen on the Diamond Princess/Sapphire Princess twin ships.
Ruby Princess was the first to debut a new program called the Ultimate Ship Tour, where guests are given a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run the ship. Weight-wise she was the largest ship in the Princess fleet before the arrival of the new Royal Princess.[9][10]
Current and planned cruises
Ruby Princess is currently based in Los Angeles for cruises to the Mexican Riviera, Hawaii and California coastal cruises.[11]
Starting in late 2019, the Ruby Princess will be based in Australia, replacing the Golden Princess which is shifting to P&O Australia.[12]
