Princess cancels Santorini dual-ship naming

Princess Cruises has decided not to hold the dual ship naming for Emerald Princess and Royal Princess in Santorini next month. The company said the decision is out of respect for the sinking of Louis Hellenic Cruises’ Sea Diamond. Two passengers remain missing. Princess had been planning to simultaneously name both ships in a ceremony on May 12. Instead, Emerald Princess will be christened in Piraeus on May 13, and the new date and location for the Royal Princess festivities will be announced shortly.
