Regal Princess will be moved to Australia under a new name in October 2007 - See Pacific Dawn. The Regal Princess (built August 1991) is a US-based cruise ship operated by Princess Cruises. In October 2007, Regal Princess will be moved to Australia to be operated by P&O Cruises. The ship, under the new name of Pacific Dawn will begin sailing from Sydney on October 26, 2007 for it's eight-night maiden voyage. It will then offer a selection of cruises to the South Pacific, including Christmas and New Year departures, plus a Melbourne Cup cruise.

The elegant 70,000-ton ship, marketed as 'the largest and most modern ship to call Australia home' will introduce many new features to the Australian cruise market, including an abundance of affordable private balcony cabins. The introduction of Pacific Dawn into the P&O Cruises fleet comes after the selling of Pacific Sky to a Spanish based company, Pullmantur Cruises in May, 2005.
